Focusing on areas of public health practice in which the systematic application of epidemiologic methods can have a large and positive impact, this text applies traditional epidemiologic methods for determining disease etiology to the "real-life" applications of public health and health services research. Chapters highlight important issues in etiologic studies, outbreak and cluster investigation, and public health surveillance. The editors -- both very well-known researchers in the field -- have compiled reviews of contemporary topics with direct relevance to or a strong basis in epidemiology. Case studies at the end of each chapter illustrate major points and provide a foundation for more detailed discussion. Applied Epidemiology is intended for practitioners in epidemiology, and students in epidemiology and related disciplines that rely heavily on epidemiologic methods and reasoning. It will be a practical and informative tool in academic institutions, federal agencies with significant educational missions, state and local health agencies, and health care organizations.

Review
" This book should help fill a void in the training of many epidemiologists who receive rigorous training in epidemiologic methods but little or no training in public health, and it will be most useful to epidemiologists working in public health departments." Chronic Diseases in Canada (vol.19, no.4, 1998)

"A wonderful new text..."--Robert E. McKeown in Epidemiology Monitor

"A useful, interesting, and needed contribution to the field. The book deals with important and timely applications of epidemiology written by highly credible contributors and a distinguished pair of editors. This book well serves many audiences and is highly recommended for health science libraries at all levels... The references are plentiful, pertinent, and generally quite current."--Doody's Health Sciences Book Review

"A useful, interesting, and needed contribution to the field....This book well serves many audiences and is highly recommended fot health science libraries at all levels."--Choice

"Applied epidemiology is relatively new as '-ologies' go. Becayse epidemiologists struggle to carve out a territory and define precisely what it is they do, this book serves as a useful map and introduction to some of the methodological tools that most journeyman epidemiologists will need in their professional bag of tricks....The material is well written and clearly presented." American Journal of Epidemiology
