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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jones \u0026amp; Bartlett Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781284286663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 7.13w x 0.40d","brand":"Ann Aschengrau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801121419445,"sku":"9781284286663","price":78.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/aschengrau-seages-essentials-of-epidemiology-in-public-health-9781284286663","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
