Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Successfully tested in the authors' courses at Boston University and Harvard University, this text combines theory and practice in presenting traditional and new epidemiologic concepts. 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. An entire chapter is also devoted to the concept of effect measure modification, an often-neglected topic in introductory textbooks. Up-to-date examples from the epidemiologic literature on diseases of public health importance are provided throughout the book. The Third Edition is a thorough update that offers: -New examples, the latest references, and public health statistics. -Nearly 50 new review questions. -Updated discussion of certain epidemiologic methods. -New figures depicting epidemiologic concepts.

Описание: Epidemiology for Public Health Practice is a best-selling text offering comprehensive coverage of all the major topics in introductory epidemiology and alignment to the core competencies in epidemiology for graduate and undergraduate courses. With extensive treatment of the heart of epidemiology--from study designs to descriptive epidemiology to quantitative measures--this reader-friendly text is accessible and interesting to a wide range of beginning students in all health-related disciplines. A unique focus is given to real-world applications of epidemiology and the development of skills that students can apply in subsequent course work and in the field. Significantly updated, the new Sixth Edition offers: - New chapter on epidemiology and policy - Increased emphasis on health disparities, genetic epidemiology, and current epidemics (e.g., the opioid epidemic, cannabis misuse, and gun violence) - Coverage of data acquisition (big data), wearable technology for collecting health data, climate change, and more. - Unique chapters on psychosocial epidemiology, environmental and occupation health, molecular and genetic epidemiology, and career options - Refreshed examples, updated tables and figures throughout the text

Описание:
Vital Statistics: an introduction to health science statistics is a new Australian publication. This textbook draws on real world, health-related and local examples, with a broad appeal to the Health Sciences student. It demonstrates how an understanding of statistics is useful both in the real world, and in statistics exams.
Vital Statistics: an introduction to health science statistics is a relatively small and easy-to-read book that will painlessly introduce or re-introduce you to the statistical basics before guiding you through more demanding statistical challenges.
Written in recognition of Health Sciences courses which require knowledge of statistical literacy, this book guides the reader to an understanding of why, as well as how and when to use statistics.
It explores:
How data relates to information, and how information relates to knowledge
How to use statistics to distinguish information from disinformation
The importance of probability, in statistics and in life
That inferential statistics allow us to infer from samples to populations, and how useful such inferences can be
How to appropriately apply and interpret statistical measures of difference and association
How qualitative and quantitative methods differ, and when it's appropriate to use each
The special statistical needs of the health sciences, and some especially health science relevant statistics
The vital importance of computers in the statistical analysis of data, and gives an overview of the most commonly used analyses
From the Foreword "Students of health sciences are commonly required to have a basic understanding of statistics. For the more mathematically inclined, this will be easily acquired and there are many existing textbooks that will serve their needs well. However, for others learning about statistics will be an onerous task that may not seem directly relevant to their goal of becoming a health practitioner. To make statistics interesting, relevant and accessible for these students is a continuing challenge for their teachers. Having a suitable textbook that can motivate, inspire and explain complex concepts in plain language would be a big help. This new book by the McKenzie brothers does just that. It reflects many years of experience in explaining statistics to students and practitioners.I hope and expect that this new textbook will infect many health science students with the authors' obvious love of the topic and lead them to want to learn more. In particular, I hope that they see the value of statistics to evidence-based professional practice and become better practitioners as a consequence.?
