Epidemiology Matters A New Introduction to Methodological Foundations

Epidemiology Matters makes a nice addition to the existing roster of introductory epidemiology texts. The authors provide a clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts, including causality, internal validity, external validity, study design, and measures of association using a step-bystep approach. Their well-designed website provides useful supplementary materials... The book will be useful to students who take only one course in epidemiology, as well as to scholars who decide to pursue epidemiology in more depth. American Journal of Epidemiology
