Successfully tested in the authors' courses at Boston University and Harvard University, this text combines theory and practice in presenting traditional and new epidemiologic concepts. Broad in scope, the text opens with five chapters covering the basic epidemiologic concepts and data sources. A major emphasis is placed on study design, with separate chapters devoted to each of the three main analytic designs: experimental, cohort, and case-control studies. Full chapters on bias, confounding, and random error, including the role of statistics in epidemiology, ensure that students are well-equipped with the necessary information to interpret the results of epidemiologic studies. An entire chapter is also devoted to the concept of effect measure modification, an often-neglected topic in introductory textbooks. Up-to-date examples from the epidemiologic literature on diseases of public health importance are provided throughout the book. The second edition has been thoroughly revised with up-to-date examples and data from epidemiologic literature and features over 100 new study questions.
Too much blah blah!
| Customer Rating: | | It would have really helped had these authors at least thought to include an index of tables, formulas, or examples. As it is everything is explained in dense, rambling paragraphs that one must sift through in order to get to the point. It's required reading for my program, but I really wish I had bought another text to supplement my understanding...this one is worthless. |
Outstanding
| Customer Rating: | | What a great read. No, really... I'm actually enjoying reading it! The authors do a great job of presenting existing research and breaking down complicated theoretical concepts in a fresh and interesting way that's a quick, substantive read. I bought mine on clearance - what a great investment! definitely what I was looking for as a beginner to the field of public health/epidemiology. |
Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health - sold by scholasticbooks
| Customer Rating: | | I am totally disappointed with this purchase. I was expecting the latest version that came out in this year. But I received a previous version. Till then I was deperately trying to reach the vendor (Scholasticbooks) to return/ exchange it. But even after e mails and phone calls I am yet to hear from them. I do not recommend this vendor to any one. |
Starter book
| Customer Rating: | | It is a good book for beginners. A little outdated but overall does the job effectively explaining the basic concepts. |
Excellent, Easy and User Friendly
| Customer Rating: | This is a great text for anyone studying epidemiology.
Each chapter on the various aspects of Epi (ie, Confounding, Effect Modification, Random Error, Bias, Causation, etc) is readable, relatively short chapters (no more then 20 pages) and very clearly explains the necessary information. Each chapter then has a concise (less then one page) summary, perfect for test studying or board review. In addition, each chapter has test questions with answers posted at the back of the book. This book even explains the underlying mathmetical principles better then most statistic texts I've used.
While you could probably get through Epidemialogy just reading the lecture notes, this book will guarantee you understand it (with out spending too much time) and get a 4.0. |
