Seamlessly blending theory and practice, Aschengrau & Seage's Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health presents both traditional and modern epidemiological concepts in a clear and accessible way. 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. 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 bookHelpful instructor resources include PowerPoint slides, eight in-class exercises, three journal clubs, test banks questions, lecture outlines, and sample syllabi.
