Friis Epidemiology 101 , 3rd Edition (EPub+Converted PDF)

Written by Scott Quinlan

There is a growing need and interest to study about epidemiology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MPox epidemic, recent

Ebola outbreaks and an increasing focus on the role of social factors in health inequities, among other things.

Friis’ Epidemiology 101, Third Edition is an understandable and approachable tool meant to give students a firm foundation in

fundamental epidemiologic ideas while also showing them how these ideas can be applied to real-world issues.

Similar to previous versions, this non-technical text is intended for students who have little to no prior knowledge of biostatistics and

health.

To keep readers interested, it includes a ton of engaging case studies, text boxes, vignettes, exhibits, photos, figures and drawings.

Important Elements

• Constantly updated with fresh information and examples.

• Information on the COVID-19 pandemic, mPox, drug overdose epidemic and improved knowledge of the socioeconomic factors

influencing health.

• A longer discussion of the applications of epidemiology, such as the epidemiology of aging and chronic diseases.

• A condensed and rearranged overview of research designs.

• At the conclusion of every chapter, practice questions allow students to put the knowledge they’ve learned into practice.
