About the Book

Originally written for those wishing to design or conduct epidemiological studies and as a graduate course text, and published to wide international acclaim, this book now appears in paperback. Its excellent coverage of all relevant issues will thus be accessible to all students of epidemiology. Much epidemological research is undertaken to relate exposure to external agents to the occurrence of particular diseases, which depends critically on the accurate measurement of exposure. This book is the first to cover the design of questionnaires, conducting personal interviews, abstracting medical records, the use of biological and environmental measurements, and important background areas for exposure measurement, such as error in measurement and its effects, maximising participation of subjects in research, and ethical issues.

Table of Contents:
1. Exposure measurement; 2. Methods of exposure measurement; 3. Exposure measurement error and its effects; 4. Validity and reliability studies; 5. Reducing measurement error and its effects; 6. The design of questionnaires; 7. The personal interview; 8. Use of records, diaries, and proxy respondents; 9. Measurements in the human body or its products; 10. Measurements in the environment; 11. Response rates and their maximization; 12. Ethical issues

Review :
"To date there has been no easy place to find a comprehensive treatment of exposure in the study of chronic or noninfectious disease. Finally, there is such a book, one that attempts not only to meet the need, but one that does so in a well organized, thought provoking, and very readable fashion...The ethical use of epidemiology as well as the use of results of epidemiology studies should be a primary interest for us all."--David Wegman in Epidemiology Monitor "Fills a void in the literature and will be useful to both epidemiologists and others interested in both the theoretical framework and the practical aspects of the collection and analysis of exposure data in epidemiology."--Robert C. Spear, PhD, in American Journal of Preventive Medicine "Excellent summary of an emerging topic in epidemiology."--Prof. Jane E. Keller-Byrne
