Summary
"All main topics from the first edition remain, with the addition of material on a broader range of concepts (including regression to the mean, interaction, the counterfactual approach, and cohort effects), new questions and exercises, a foundational introduction to the burgeoning field of genetic epidemiology, an introduction to the purposes and principles of systematic reviews and meta-analysis, a clearer exposition of the relationship of epidemiology to statistics, and suggestions for curriculum content." "The emphasis is on interactive learning throughout, with each chapter including learning objectives, both theoretical and numerical exercises, recent examination questions from relevant courses, and a summary. The text is richly illustrated, with detailed material summarized in tables. Written in plain language, all the necessary technical and specialized terminology is explained and defined in a glossary."--BOOK JACKET.
