Reviews
Epidemiology Matters makes a nice addition to the existing roster of introductory epidemiology texts. The authors provide a clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts, including causality, internal validity, external validity, study design, and measures of association using a step-bystep approach. Their well-designed website provides useful supplementary materials... The book will be useful to students who take only one course in epidemiology, as well as to scholars who decide to pursue epidemiology in more depth. American Journal of Epidemiology
An excellent overview of the uses of epidemiological methods to investigate the causal pathway to disease. The step-by-step approach to epidemiology methods is a unique contribution. Epidemiology remains the key to successful prevention of disease. --Lewis Kuller, MD, DrPH, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health A clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts using a step-by-step approach.
