Description: This sixth edition of a renowned introduction to the basic principles and concepts of epidemiology has been updated, revised, and expanded. It also provides an enhanced digital version that includes access to an online (PDF style) version of the book with easy access to high quality images, which can be copied and saved for presentation in other formats. Hyperlinks and signposting to other chapters are available, and the references are linked by PMIDs to the original article. The fifth edition was published in 2014.

Purpose: The book provides insights into the use of epidemiological approaches and principles related to the occurrence, prevention, surveillance, etiology, and control of health conditions and diseases in defined populations, and demonstrates the practical uses of epidemiology in evaluating health services and policy implementation. The digital version enhances both readability and portability, as well as leveraging its potential as an educational resource.

Audience: This book is ideal for students requiring grounding in the principles and practice of epidemiology, but is equally a fantastic reference for professionals involved in the teaching of epidemiology in various settings and for those needing to confirm their understanding of essential information.

Features: The first five editions of this book were authored by the late Professor Leon Gordis. Elements of this edition have been sensitively expanded, updated, and revised by two new authors (David Celentano and Moyses Szklo), both of whom were trained in public health at Johns Hopkins under the guidance of Professor Gordis during the earlier parts of their careers, with valuable contributions from several notable epidemiologists. While the overall organization of the book resembles the fifth edition (three identically labeled section headings with similarly named chapters in each), subtly updated references, review questions, and examples, and the addition of colored/replacement figures are evident throughout. The overall length remains almost the same (420 pages versus 416 in the fifth edition). Each chapter begins with revised learning objectives and, as is traditional with this book, concludes with a set of review questions to test readers' knowledge and consolidate their learning. Although the answers to the review questions are provided at the back of the book, they do not detail how to work them out.

Assessment: There is marked restructuring in section II "Using Epidemiology to Identify the Cause of Disease," where there are now 10 chapters (compared to eight in the fifth edition). Much of these changes reflect the reorganization of the section to emphasize a hierarchy of evidence-based practice, discussing study designs ranging from case reports and case series (the lowest level of evidence) all the way up to the randomized controlled trial (considered the gold standard of study designs). Oddly, meta-analyses aren't mentioned in this section, but are covered later on in the epidemiology and public policy chapters, which have also been updated and expanded. It is noteworthy that chapter 16 on genetic epidemiology has been given an overhaul. It is written with more concision (two pages shorter than the fifth edition), and the sequencing of information has been changed, bringing discussions around complex diseases and seminal findings from twin, adoption, and migrant studies before the application of genetic markers and precision medicine. There is also a very useful glossary of genetic terms at the end of the chapter, defining terminologies which may be unfamiliar to some readers, but it's not exhaustive.

The aim of the course is to equip students with deep knowledge and skills to understand the fundamental principles of epidemiology and statistics, such as measures of disease occurrence, indicators of population health, and fundamental principles of outbreak investigation, appreciation of basic statistical concepts (confidence interval and p-value). This course is the preparatory for Epidemiology and Biostatistics II

There is a large - and growing - number of very good introductory and intermediate epidemiology textbooks. For a recent comparative review, see Bhopal RS. Which book? A comparative review of 25 introductory epidemiology textbooks. J Epidemiology Community Health 1997;51:612-622.

Students who are new to epidemiology and wish to purchase a commercially published text should consider the text by Charles Hennekens and Julie Buring and the text by Leon Gordis, both of which cover many of the topics in EPID 168 from a fairly similar perspective.Epidemiology majors and other students taking EPID 268 will need to obtain Rothman and Greenland'sModern Epidemiology for that course. By puchasing it now they will be able to refer to it conveniently during EPID 168.

A revised, expanded edition of the highly-regardedRothman KJ. Modern Epidemiology (Boston, Little Brown, 1986), this text provides one of the best expositions of the contemporary formulation of epidemiologic concepts, many of which the authors have helped to refine. This book is not recommendedas an introductory textbook, but those of you who already have another text and/orhave taken an introductory epidemiology course will find this book the most useful. Since this book is one of the required texts for EPID 268 (Advanced Methods in Epidemiology), those of you planning totake that course can purchase it early and have the use of it for EPID 168 as well.Rothman and Greenland are two of the leading exponents of "modern" epidemiologic concepts and methods. (Rothman also maintains the list of errata on the web.)

A book that combines modern terminology and methods with ample coverage of descriptive epidemiology and applied epidemiology. A very good introduction to the field for those without previous exposure or who want to increase their knowledge of descriptive epidemiology and sources of data.

Provides a systematic coverage of basic concepts and is particularly helpful for understanding semi-quantitative ones such as measures of disease and evaluation of screening tests. It is somewhat easier to understand than MacMahon and Pugh, and has problems and answers following each chapter. A survey of 22 introductory epidemiology courses (published in the Epidemiology Monitor) several years ago reported that Mausner and Kramer was the text in 15.

According to the review in the January 1993 Epidemiology Monitor, this book gives an excellent treatment of case-control studies as well as covering cohort studies and general concepts in epidemiology and is well suited for a second level text. Two chapters are devoted to practice exercises.

This book is a revised edition of the classic text of the same name, by Brian MacMahon and Thomas F. Pugh (Boston, Little Brown, 1970. WA100 M167e 1970). The first edition provided a rich coverage of past epidemiologic studies, as well as a more conceptual bent than those texts which emphasize "methods". Since many of the concepts and practices in epidemiology have developed primarily from the experience of working epidemiologists, rather than through systematic theoretical development supported by experimentation, familiarity with the range of work in the field is invaluable. The first edition was dated in respect to its presentation of concepts, but the descriptive epidemiology is excellent.

"Given the book's unyielding and sometimes dogmatic style, its idiosyncratic terminology, and its lack of exercises or detailed case studies, I cannot recommend it as a course text for anything but an advanced seminar. Nevertheless, I would recommend the first nine chapters and appendices 1-6 to all research-oriented students, with the warning that the text should be read as a stimulus to thought rather than the revealed word."Morris, J.N. The uses of epidemiology. Third edition. Churchill Livingstone, New York, 1975. WA100 M876 1975. Paperbound edition available.This is a classic and very useful reference book providing a wide series of provocative illustrations of the uses to which epidemiological principles and methods can be put. The book is not a "text" in itself but provides insights into a number of problems and a very full set of references as a guide to further reading. It does not deal extensively with epidemiological methods. 17dc91bb1f
