Overview

Introduction to Epidemiology, Eighth Edition is a comprehensive, reader-friendly introduction to this exciting field. Designed for students with minimal training in the biomedical sciences and statistics, this full-color text emphasizes the application of the basic principles of epidemiology according to person, place, and time factors in order to solve current, often unexpected, and serious public health problems.

Students will learn how to identify and describe public health problems, formulate research hypotheses, select appropriate research study designs, manage and analyze epidemiologic data, interpret results, and apply results in preventing and controlling disease and health-related events. With real-world examples in the form of case studies and news files in each chapter, Introduction to Epidemiology is an accessible and effective approach to learning epidemiology.

The Eighth Edition features:

- Expanded coverage of incubation and latency periods
- Broader, more comprehensive description of important health and population indicators
- Additional information on the role of vitamin and mineral deficiency/overdose in explaining disease
- Identification of key environmental risk factors associated with chronic disease
- Revised steps for conducting a field investigation, and study questions
- New sections on life expectancy and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC)
- Updated tables, figures and examples throughout
