This is a practical guide to the design, conduct, analysis and interpretation of epidemiological studies.

The book assumes no prior knowledge. Sufficient material is provided to enable the reader to undertake soundly based studies which take account of the most recent advances in epidemiological concepts and methods. The book also includes sections on ethical issues and how they should be addressed, and costing a study.
