“Aschengrau (epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health) and Seage (epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health) incorporate the latest ideas in the field in this introduction to principles of epidemiology in public health. There is a major emphasis on study design, with separate chapters devoted to each of the three main analytic designs. Other chapters cover bias, confounding, and random error, as well as the concept of effect measure modification.”
