Epidemiology = detective work without the risk of getting shot.

[Luna · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read a few epidemiology textbooks and this one has been the most accessible of the bunch - although including formulas and their explanations there is plenty of content that isn't focused on formula digestion. It also presented observational studies, and case-control study designs in particular, in a more contemporary and balanced light without the disdain that is easily recognized in other texts. As a textbook or access point for interested readers I think it serves quite well.

Clearly this was a textbook, but it did a really good job of explaining basic epidemiology. It is a good resource to look back on.

[Casey W. · Rating 3 out of 5]

While it makes the concepts easy to understand, it's horrifically repetitive. Using the same word for word sentences or paragraphs repeatedly. It's really annoying for me.

An excellent entry-level book for epidemiology. Concise and easy to understand. It isn't exhaustive however; you'll need further reading for more advanced topics (multivariate analyses, survey design, in-depth cohort study design, etc).

for my Epidemiology class.
It's a good introduction book to Epidemiology.

it's fine somehow, but not for a bachelor student.

Not a bad text for an introduction to Epi. Easy to follow and good description.

[Suzanne Yoder · Rating 3 out of 5]

good ... there were some super weak chapters but for the most part it was a well-written and valuable text book.
