Summary
Modern Epidemiology returns in this thoroughly revised and updated Third Edition. This popular textbook describes the conceptual underpinnings of the rapidly evolving science of epidemiology, addressing the methodologic issues crucial to the wide range of epidemiologic applications in public health and medicine. Coauthored by three leading epidemiologists, with contributions from sixteen experts in a variety of epidemiologic sub-disciplines, this new edition is by far the most comprehensive and cohesive text on the principles and methods of epidemiologic research.
