Description

Quantitative Methods for Health Research: A Practical Interactive Guide to Epidemiology and Statistics provides a comprehensive introduction to epidemiology, biostatistics, and research methodology for healthcare professionals and students. This revised edition covers a wide range of contemporary health research methods, including survival analysis, Cox regression, and systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The text is designed to help students develop critical skills that will prepare them to move on to more advanced methods. It distinguishes between essential knowledge and concepts that can be pursued further by those who wish to do so. Self-assessment exercises throughout the book enable students to explore and reflect on their understanding, while a program of practical exercises in SPSS helps to consolidate theory and develop skills in data handling, analysis, and interpretation. With its interactive approach, this guide is ideal for anyone looking to improve their knowledge of epidemiology, biostatistics, and research methodology.
