Broad in scope, the text opens with five chapters covering the basic epidemiologic concepts and data sources. A major emphasis is placed on study design, with separate chapters devoted to each of the three main analytic designs: experimental, cohort, and case-control studies. Full chapters on bias, confounding, and random error, including the role of statistics in epidemiology, ensure that students are well-equipped with the necessary information to interpret the results of epidemiologic studies. For the Fifth Edition, descriptive data and statistics have been updated throughout, most significantly in Chapters 4 (Sources of Public Health Data) and 5 (Descriptive Epidemiology). The latter chapter also includes a new section on the leading causes of morbidity in the United States, with a summary of the COVID-19 pandemic. Key Features: - Clear descriptions of contemporary epidemiological methods, such as mediation analysis, agent-based modeling, difference in difference methods, and the use of directed acyclic graphs for describing confounding.- A dedicated chapter on critical review of epidemiological studies guides students in learning this essential skill.- Up-to-date examples from the epidemiologic literature on diseases of public health importance are provided throughout the book- Helpful instructor resources include PowerPoint slides, eight in-class exercises, three journal clubs, test banks questions, lecture outlines, and sample syllabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.91 x 7.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 26, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453406363869,"sku":"9781284286663","price":178.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/eDcmrBfCsn9781284286663_fd8e07e6-19bb-4d9c-976e-108d44f87e93.webp?v=1771564288","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/aschengrau-seages-essentials-of-epidemiology-in-public-health-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
