Epidemiology for the Uninitiated (Paperback, 3Rev ed)

Epidemiology - the study of disease in relation to populations - is an important aspect of medicine. It has its own techniques of data collection and interpretations and its necessary jargon of technical terms. In Epidemiology for the Uninitiated Dr David Coggon and Professors Geoffrey Rose and David Barker guide the novice expertly through the theory and practical pitfalls. The third edition of this very popular BMJ handbook has been revised and includes a new section on randomized controlled trials and a new chapter on how to understand and interpret published epidemiological data.
