Description
This sixth edition of Epidemiology, Evidence-based Medicine and Public Health Lecture Notes provides students and health professionals with the tools to learn, practice, and teach epidemiology and health prevention in a contemporary setting. The book introduces fundamental principles and scientific basis behind work to improve population health.
The text is divided into three sections: 'Epidemiology', 'Evidence-based Medicine' (EBM), and 'Public Health'. The first section covers the basics of epidemiology, including genetic epidemiology, while the second section explores how to apply current scientific evidence to treatment at both individual and population levels. The third section introduces public health practice, including strategies and tools used to prevent disease and promote health.
With its comprehensive coverage of these key topics, this book is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand epidemiology, evidence-based medicine, and public health.
