In the past thirty years epidemiology has matured from a fledgling
scientific field into a vibrant discipline that brings together the
biological and social sciences, and in doing so draws upon disciplines
ranging from statistics and survey sampling to the philosophy of
science. These areas of knowledge have converged into a modern theory of
epidemiology that has been slow to penetrate into textbooks,
particularly at the introductory level. Epidemiology: An Introduction
closes the gap. It begins with a brief, lucid discussion of causal
thinking and causal inference and then takes the reader through the
elements of epidemiology, focusing on the measures of disease occurrence
and causal effects. With these building blocks in place, the reader
learns how to design, analyze and interpret problems that
epidemiologists face, including confounding, the role of chance, and the
exploration of interactions. All these topics are layered on the
foundation of basic principles presented in simple language, with
numerous examples and questions for further thought.
