This book provides an understanding of the key concepts in three fully updated sections that cover the epidemiologic approach to disease and intervention, the use of epidemiology to identify the causes of disease, and the application of epidemiology to evaluation and policy. Clear, practical graphs and charts, cartoons, and review questions with answers reinforce the text and aid in comprehension.
