520 1 $a"Comprehensive in its coverage and suitable for graduate or upper-division undergraduate students in wide range of health-related disciplines, this latest offering by William A. Oleckno is a fullscale, pedagogically rich introduction to fundamental ideas and procedures in epidemiology. The text covers the major concepts, principles, methods, and applications of both conventional and modern epidemiology using clear language and frequent examples to illustrate important points and facilitate understanding." "While Oleckno provides through treatment of the more customary aspects of conventional and modern epidemiology, be also introduces several important design and analytical issues that are only rarely approached in fundamental epidemiology textbooks. Concepts as diverse as compelling risks, maturation, futility, and the prevalence and bias effects in the context of screening are just a few examples of the broad range of concepts covered in this text. A comprehensive glossary contains detailed definitions of over 700 terms used throughout the 14 chapters comprising the textbook." "Aspiring public health professionals will appreciate the solid basis they gain from Epidemiology: Concepts and Methods and will want to keep a copy close by as a valuable reference throughout their careers."--BOOK JACKET.
