The text gives lucid, well organized explantations of basic epidemiologic concepts such as rates and ratios, age-adjustment. incubation periods, ivestigation of an outbreak, time-place-and-person, agent-host-environment, surveillance, screening, sensitivity, spcificity, predictive value, inter-and intra observer. variability, odds ratios, randomized trials, and cohort and case-control study designs. These discussions are illustrated with examples for a variety of conditions, including asthma, food poisoning, coronary heart disease, measles, stroke, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, venous thrombosis, histoplasmosis, Lyme disease, and AIDS. For the third edition, the authors have thoroughly revised the entire text.
