Reviews
"A clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts using a step-by-step approach. This book will be useful to students who take only one course in epidemiology, as well as to scholars who decide to pursue epidemiology in more depth." -- American Journal of Epidemiology"This is a unique addition to the ever-expanding library of introductory epidemiology books. The material is easily accessible to beginners, and the consequentialist approach breathes new life into the field. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars!" --Doody's Health Sciences Review, "An excellent overview of the uses of epidemiological methods to investigate the causal pathway to disease. The step-by-step approach to epidemiology methods is a unique contribution. Epidemiology remains the key to successful prevention of disease." --Lewis Kuller, MD, DrPH, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health "A clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts using a step-by-step approach.
