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.
