Reviews
“5/5 – Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health 4th edition was a required course material. I like that the electronic PDF version has a search feature so that you can quickly move to the section you want to look at. I can also view it on any of my devices, laptop, phone, or tablet.”
“This is a great textbook for anyone studying epidemiology. Every chapter on the various aspects of Epi (i.e, Confounding, Random Error, Bias, Effect Modification, Causation, etc) is readable, relatively short chapters (no more then 20 pages) and very clearly explains the necessary information. Every chapter then has a concise (less then 1 page) summary, perfect for board review or test studying. In addition, every chapter has test questions with answers posted at the end of the ebook. This ebook even explains the underlying mathematical principles better then most statistic textbooks I’ve used. While you could probably get through Epidemiology just reading the lecture notes, this etextbook will guarantee you understand it (with out spending too much time) and get a 4.0 GPA.”
