Summary:
Exercises in Epidemiology enriches epidemiology coursework with a set of living, breathing problems from the real-world epidemiology literature. Comprising nearly 200 questions and answers drawn from published studies, this one-of-a-kind text allows students in epidemiology and public health to cultivate their skills in a real-world context while familiarizing themselves with core epidemiologic principles: rates and proportions, causal inference, and confounding. Answers to every question, along with each step in the reasoning that supports them, are included so that students can compare notes with a senior epidemiologist. With its practical, analytically sophisticated approach to this vital subject matter, Exercises in Epidemiology prepares readers to make the transition from student to professional like no other text.
