This is a remarkable book on basic epidemiology, based on many years of experience and designed primarily for self-learning students. It will also appeal to all those wanting a quick and well structured introduction to epidemiology, with a wealth of classical and more recent examples."

The book assists readers in applying basic epidemiological methods to measure health outcomes, identifying risk factors for a negative outcome, and evaluating health interventions and health services.
