4.0 out of 5 stars
Epidemiology for the non-epidemiologist,
By lassiter@ix.netcom.com (Norman, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Epidemiology for the Health Sciences: A Primer on Epidemiologic Concepts and Their Uses (Paperback)
The author (who has been a prominent investigator in cancer epidemiology for many years) has written a "primer" on epidemiology for the rest of us. Taking a no non-sense approach to a complex subject, he uses humor and easy to understand concepts to make his subject matter both enjoyable and enlightening. This is a booklet for managers, lawyers, and those in the health sciences who need a jumpstart refresher ASAP.
