Epidemiology Kept Simple: An Introduction to Classic and Modern Epidemiology Books
Product Description
As epidemiology expands into new areas of medicine and scientific research, professionals without specific epidemiological training and undergraduate students in a variety of health-correlated fields are increasingly called upon to study and assess epidemiological in rank.
Epidemiology Kept Simple presents the first accessible treatment of the theme 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 run 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 broadcast health training programs as well as for students and professionals in medicine, health education, and the biological sciences, and for all who want to grind their epidemiological skills.

I bought this book for an Epidemiology class…fascinatingly enough, the instructor of the class is the author! This is my first introduction to an epidemiology textbook and thus far, I’ve found the book to be extremely worthwhile. The concepts are clearly clarified, the examples plentiful, and the online exercises are very valuable.

If you are going to get one epidemiology text, this is the one to get. It is well-written, undemanding, but not dumbed-down! It covers all of the major areas of epidemiology and there are ample references to more in-depth papers on specific topics. A companion web site includes review problems, outlines, slides, and link to external references. For the beginner, it is a fantastic introduction to the field of epidemiology. If you have read more advanced books, Epidemiology Kept Simple will help solidify concepts and help link thoughts together.

The explanations and presentation of material in this book make this a resource I often urge both for people familiar and new to the field.
