Purchase options and add-ons

Now in its fourth edition, Essential Epidemiology is an engaging and accessible introduction to the foundations of epidemiology. It addresses the study of infectious and chronic diseases, public health and clinical epidemiology, and the role of epidemiology in a range of health monitoring and research activities. Contemporary, historical and hypothetical examples enable students to engage with content, while mathematics is kept understandable with complex mathematics housed in optional material so the book remains accessible. With over ninety questions and answers to work through, this book is an essential resource for students, practitioners and anyone else who needs to interpret health data in their studies or work. Epidemiology's most important goal is to bring rigour to the collection, analysis and interpretation of health data to improve health on a global scale; Essential Epidemiology provides readers the tools to achieve that goal.

Nothing great About it

Reviewed in Australia on 28 September 2020

I didn’t enjoy reading this book. Information not straightforward and scattered all over the place.

So clearly written and indexed.

Reviewed in Australia on 16 November 2021

Well written, well-indexed. I barely had to take notes, as it is equally easy to look up the index, glossary, formulas and all other aspects. The book includes a digital version (access via phone or computer) which has a highlighting function, as well as options for note-taking and read aloud. Great for the daily commute, gardening, or reading along in the paper copy. I like the case examples which are in boxes. Including (of course), John Snow and his epidemiological detective work to find the source of cholera and stop the spread.

Excellent resource for beginners

This book is a comprehensive resource for students (like me) starting out with Epidemiology.
The accompanying ebook is great too.
