Epidemiology by Design
A (LONG OVERDUE) CAUSAL APPROACH TO INTRODUCTORY EPIDEMIOLOGYEpidemiology is recognized as the science of public health, evidence-based medicine, and comparative effectiveness research. No introduction to epidemiology is complete without extensive discussion of causal inference; what's missing is a textbook that takes such an approach.Epidemiology by Design takes a causal approach to the foundations of traditional introductory epidemiology. Causal inference is the theoretical foundation underlying all of the above.
Through an organizing principle of study designs, it teaches epidemiology through modern causal inference approaches, including potential outcomes, counterfactuals, and causal identification conditions.Coverage in this textbook includes: - Introduction to measures of prevalence and incidence (survival curves, risks, rates, odds)
