This 3-volume reference covers the entire field of epidemiology, from statistical methods and study design, to specialized areas such as molecular epidemiology, and applications in clinical medicine and health services research. Thisupdated edition of the Handbook of Epidemiology adds 22 new chapters on: History of Epidemiological Methods and Concepts, Cluster Randomized Trials, Internet Based Epidemiology, Misclassification, Bias/Sensitivity Analysis, DiseaseSurveillance, Statistical Inference, Data Management in Epidemiology, Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Bayesian Methods in Epidemiology, Generalized Estimating Equations, Directed Acyclic Graphs, Life Course Epidemiology, Physical Activity, Radiation Epidemiology, Epidemiology of Obesity, Epidemiology of Asthma and Allergies, Epidemiology of Dental Diseases, Epidemiology ofDigestive Diseases, Psychiatric Disorders, Epidemiology of Diabetes. All other chapters are extensively revised from the 1st edition. This is a referencefor epidemiological researchers and graduate students in public health. Greatly expanded 2nd edition adds 22 new chapters on: History of Epidemiological Methods and Concepts, Cluster Randomized Trials, Internet Based Epidemiology, Misclassification, Bias/Sensitivity Analysis, Disease Surveillance, Statistical Inference, Data Management in Epidemiology, Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Bayesian Methods in Epidemiology, Generalized Estimating Equations, Directed Acyclic Graphs, Life Course Epidemiology, Physical Activity, Radiation Epidemiology, Epidemiology of Obesity, Epidemiology of Asthma andAllergies, Epidemiology of Dental Diseases, Epidemiology of Digestive Diseases, Psychiatric Disorders, Epidemiology of Diabetes.
