- catalog abstract ""As epidemiology expands into new areas of medicine and scientific research, professionals without specific epidemiological training and undergraduate students in a variety of health-related fields are increasingly called upon to study and assess epidemiological information. Epidemiology Kept Simple presents the first accessible treatment of the subject for non-epidemiologists. It covers both the classical approach to studying a disease, and the modern biostatistical approach, giving the reader simple yet effective tools to interpret epidemiological data, keep up with current disease concepts, or prepare for board exams. Clear and concise throughout, this book features a series of authoritative lectures arranged in a format that facilitates the indentification and comprehension of key concepts. Topics include: Elements of infectious and chronic disease epidemiology Identification of disease, and measures of its frequency Stratification and adjustment Measures of association and potential impact Analytic study design and inaccuracy in epidemiologic studies From association to causation Clusters and outbreaks Computing and epidemiology. Epidemiology Kept Simple contains chapter summaries, illustrations, and extensive references for would-be epidemiologists or for those interested in specialized areas of epidemiology. It is an ideal introductory text for public health training programs as well as for students and professionals in medicine, health education, and the biological sciences, and for all who would like to sharpen their epidemiological skills."--Publisher description.".
