5.0 out of 5 stars Useful study tool for students of epidemiology, September 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Preventive Medicine (Saunders Text and Review Series) (Hardcover)

This is a useful study guide and reference tool for anyone who is starting in epidemiology. It gives a great overview on study designs, statistics, and a great deal of other useful information for creating, implementing and evaluating a study. I have found it extremely useful in both my studies and in the implementation of studies. I would recommend this book as a study tool in any epidemiology course!

This review is from: Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Preventive Medicine, 2e (Paperback)

Worth its weight in gold. Covers the principles of every subject area required for board certification by the American Board of Preventive Medicine. Includes numerous lists, tables, charts, and a full set of referenced questions and answers. Downright poignant considering the precipitous decline in America's public health and preventive medicine infrastructure since the day George W. Bush assumed office.
