Epidemiology Kept Simple introduces the epidemiological principles and methods that are increasingly important in the practice of medicine and public health. With minimum use of technical language it fully explains terminology, concepts, and techniques associated with traditional and modern epidemiology.
Topics include disease causality, epidemiologic measures, descriptive epidemiology, study design, clinical and primary prevention trials, observational cohort studies, case-control studies, and the consideration of random and systematic error in studies of causal factors. Chapters on the infectious disease process, outbreak investigation, and screening for disease are also included. The latter chapters introduce more advanced biostatistical and epidemiologic techniques, such as survival analysis, Mantel-Haenszel techniques, and tests for interaction.
This third edition addresses all the requirements of the American Schools of Public Health ASPH Epidemiological Competencies, and provides enhanced clarity and readability on this difficult subject. Updated with new practical exercises, case studies and real world examples, this title helps you develop the necessary tools to interpret epidemiological data and prepare for board exams, and now also includes review questions at the end of each chapter.
Epidemiology Kept Simple continues to provide an introductory guide to the use of epidemiological methods for graduate and undergraduate students studying public health, health education and nursing, and for all practicing health professionals seeking professional development.
Routine applications of advanced statistical methods on real data have become possible in the last ten years because desktop computers have become much more powerful and cheaper. However, proper understanding of the challenging statistical theory behind those methods remains essential for correct application and interpretation, and rarely seen in the medical literature.
Modern Methods for Epidemiology provides a concise introduction to recent development in statistical methodologies for epidemiological and biomedical researchers. Many of these methods have become indispensible tools for researchers working in epidemiology and medicine but are rarely discussed in details by standard textbooks of biostatistics or epidemiology. Contributors of this book are experienced researchers and experts in their respective fields.
This textbook provides a solid starting point for those who are new to epidemiology, and for those looking for guidance in more modern statistical approaches to observational epidemiology. Epidemiological and biomedical researchers who wish to overcome the mathematical barrier of applying those methods to their research will find this book an accessible and helpful reference for self-learning and research. This book is also a good source for teaching postgraduate students in medical statistics or epidemiology.
Highly practical yet authoritative, the new edition of Modern Infectious Disease Epidemiology has been thoroughly updated and revised in line with changing health concerns. This successful book continues to outline the tools available to the infectious disease student or clinician seeking a thorough background in the epidemiology of infectious and communicable diseases.
Building on many case studies and practical scenarios included, the book then uses the tools learnt to illustrate the fundamental concepts of the study of infectious diseases, such as infection spread, surveillance and control, infectivity, incubation periods, seroepidemiology, and immunity in populations. New edition of this popular book, completely revised and updated Retains the clarity and down-to-earth approach praised in previous editions Successfully combines epidemiological theory with the principles of infectious disease treatment and control A highly experienced author brings a personal and unique approach to this important subject All students of epidemiology, infectious disease medicine and microbiology will find this text invaluable, ensuring its continued popularity.
Methods, just as diseases or scientists, have their own history. It is important for scientists to be aware of the genesis of the methods they use and of the context in which they were developed.
The contributions focus on the historical emergence of current epidemiological methods and their relative importance at different points in time, rather than on specific achievements of epidemiology in controlling plagues such as cholera, tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid fever, or lung cancer.
The papers present the design of prospective and retrospective studies, and the concepts of bias, confounding, and interaction. The compilation of articles is complemented by an introduction and comments by Prof. Alfredo Morabia which puts them in the context of current epidemiological research.
From the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University and continuing in the tradition of award-winning educator and epidemiologist Dr. Leon Gordis, comes the fully revised 6th Edition of Gordis Epidemiology.
This bestselling text provides a solid introduction to basic epidemiologic principles as well as practical applications in public health and clinical practice, highlighted by real-world examples throughout. Covers the basic principles and concepts of epidemiology in a clear, uniquely memorable way, using a wealth of full-color figures, graphs, charts, and cartoons to help you understand and retain key information.
Reflects how epidemiology is practiced today, with a new chapter organization progressing from observation and developing hypotheses to data collection and analyses. Features new end-of-chapter questions for quick self-assessment, and a glossary of genetic terminology. Provides more than additional multiple-choice epidemiology self-assessment questions online. Arranged to facilitate use and highlight key concepts, this clear and concise text also includes many practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications.
Utilizing the modern biostatistical approach to studying disease, Epidemiology Kept Simple, Second Edition will provide readers with the tools to interpret epidemiological data, understand disease concepts, and prepare for board exams.
The author fully explains all new terminology and minimizes the use of technical language, while emphasizing real-life practice in modern public health and biomedical research settings.
Epidemiology is a population science that underpins health improvement and health care, by exploring and establishing the pattern, frequency, trends, and causes of a disease. Concepts of Epidemiology comprehensively describes the application of core epidemiological concepts and principles toreaders interested in population health research, policy making, health service planning, health promotion, and clinical care. The book provides an overview of study designs and practical framework for the geographical analysis of diseases, including accounting for error and bias within studies.
It discusses the ways in which epidemiological data are presented, explains the distinction between association and causation, aswell as relative and absolute risks, and considers the theoretical and ethical basis of epidemiology both in the past and the future.
This new edition places even greater emphasis on interactive learning. Each chapter includes learning objectives, theoretical and numerical exercises, questions and answers, a summary of the key points, and exemplar panels to illustrate the concepts and methods under consideration.
It is also perfect for clinicians, undergraduate students andresearchers in medicine, nursing and other health disciplines who wish to improve their understanding of fundamental epidemiological concepts.

If your manuscript is submitted in Microsoft Word, please ensure that all math is editable with either the Word Math Editor or MathType. If your manuscript is submitted in LaTex, please be sure to include the. The underline may be lost during software conversion, changing the meaning of the data from what the authors intended and leading to inaccurate representation. Regression analyses: When presenting results of regression analyses, regression coefficients should usually be converted into more generally meaningful terms e.
Note that because regression coefficients are unit dependent for continuous variables and category dependent for discrete or ordinal variables, the Journal strongly encourages statements specifying the units or categories, that is, as parenthetical statements in the text or in table footnotes or figure legends.
Tables should be submitted in the main manuscript file at the end of the document, after the references. Each table must be formatted by using the table feature in Word, and each entry must be in a separate cell. Tables should be numbered Arabic numerals in the same consecutive sequence in which they are mentioned in the text.
They should be concise and self-explanatory. Avoid internal headings whenever possible. Column headings should be clearly delineated, with straddle rules over pertinent columns to indicate subcategories. Data in vertical columns should have the same unit of measurement. Divide overly long tables into 2 or more tables.
Multipart tables e. For files submitted in LaTex , tables should be included in the PDF and follow the guidelines listed above. Table titles should give details on the place of the study, the time of the study, and the study population if applicable. Order of footnotes: 1 Abbreviations: no footnote symbol, listed alphabetically, separated by semicolons ; 2 other footnotes as necessary, each preceded by a superscript lowercase letter.
Footnotes must be cited in order when reading from left to right and top to bottom. General figure requirements are provided below. These guidelines have been compiled to ensure maximum clarity and readability in both the full-text XML and PDF versions of the article.
However, we are happy to work with authors to determine the format that makes the most sense for each specific figure. Please format figures so that when they are reduced for print publication, the smallest type size is 8 pt.
Note that figures set in portrait mode cannot be wider than 7 inches; those set in landscape mode cannot be wider than 9 inches. The maximum height depends on the length of the legend. We discourage the publication of figures set in landscape mode unless absolutely necessary. Figures should be scaled appropriately for the content. Authors should submit their figures with the manuscript.
If you wish to avoid that fee, please submit the figures in gray scale or move them to the Web material. If your figures were created in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, please submit in that format.
Vector files are preferred. On maps, add a scale bar in kilometers or meters and an arrow indicating which direction is north. All multipanel figures should have locants to identify each panel. Locants should be capital letters followed by a closing parenthesis, such as A , B , and C.
Locants should be approximately the same size as the rest of the text in the figure and should appear completely above and to the left of the figure panel. When plotting relative measures of effect e. If bars are used to plot the relative measures, they should start at the baseline level of 1.
The figure titles and legends should be submitted as a single paragraph. The text of figure legends beyond the scale, arrow, panel locant, and axis information should not be included on the figures themselves but should be typed after the reference list. Each legend should be formatted as a separate paragraph and should include details on the place of the study, the time of the study, and the study population if applicable. Define all figure abbreviations in the legend.
If causal diagrams e. Web material can be made available by the publisher as online-only content linked to the online manuscript.
