Introduction to Epidemiology, Fifth Edition is the ideal introductory text for the epidemiology student with minimal training in the biomedical sciences and statistics. With updated tables, figures, and examples throughout, the Fifth Edition is a thorough revision that offers an all new chapter covering areas of modern epidemiology such as environmental epidemiology, social epidemiology, and reproductive epidemiology. The chapters feature several new case studies and news files representing applications of commonly used research designs. Learning objectives, as well as study questions with descriptive answers, in each chapter engage the student in further analysis and reflection.
