About the Book

This second edition of Epidemiologic Methods offers a rigorous introduction to the concepts and tools of epidemiologic research. Aimed chiefly at future epidemiologists, the book offers clear descriptions, practical examples, and question/answer sections for each of the science's key concepts. Authored by two award-winning epidemiology instructors, this book is ideally suited for use as a text in a graduate-level course sequence in epidemiologic methods. The book's chapters are organized around three main themes: general concepts and tools of epidemiology; major study designs; and special topics, including screening, outbreak investigations, and use of epidemiology to evaluate policies and programs. With addition exercises at the end of each chapter and expanded attention to topics such as confounding, this new edition of Epidemiologic Methods is an indispensable resource for the next generation of epidemiologic study.

Review :
"A distinct perspective based on numerous years of teaching and research experience." --American Journal of Epidemiology "The second edition expands upon important topics such as confounding and use of epidemiological methods in program and policy evaluation. This may be an appropriate textbook for use across either or both Epidemiology I and Epidemiology II courses or as a companion to other introductory or advanced epidemiology textbooks." -- Doody's Health Sciences Review
