Broad in scope, the text opens with five chapters covering the basic epidemiologic concepts and data sources. A major emphasis is placed on study design, with separate chapters devoted to each of the three main analytic designs: experimental, cohort, and case-control studies. Full chapters on bias, confounding, and random error, including the role of statistics in epidemiology, ensure that students are well-equipped with the necessary information to interpret the results of epidemiologic studies. For the Fifth Edition, descriptive data and statistics have been updated throughout, most significantly in Chapters 4 (Sources of Public Health Data) and 5 (Descriptive Epidemiology). The latter chapter also includes a new section on the leading causes of morbidity in the United States, with a summary of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Up-to-date examples from the epidemiologic literature on diseases of public health importance are provided throughout the book  Helpful instructor resources include PowerPoint slides, eight in-class exercises, three journal clubs, test banks questions, lecture outlines, and sample syllabi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226701656352,"sku":"NEW1284286665","price":53.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71N-o1Q3AHL.jpg?v=1787320775","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/aschengrau-seages-essentials-of-epidemiology-in-public-health-1284286665","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
