Descriptions

Epidemiological analysis is a vital component of modern public health practice. Since it was first used to study outbreaks of infectious disease, the scope of epidemiology has extended to cover all health conditions including obesity and mental disorders, and its power as a tool has increased with the introduction/refinement of computer-based models and statistical techniques. This book uses specific case studies from all over the world to illuminate how tools such as computer modeling and pharmacoepidemiological databases are used for purposes as diverse as drug development and the study of the molecular epidemiology of infectious parasitic disease. It will discuss both qualitative and quantitative techniques, and will also describe how new concepts can be applied, for example in the determination of viral emergence. We believe that this book will be a worthwhile resource for all students, researchers and practitioners in the field, whether they work in academe, in government, or in the private sector.
