Críticas

"Excellent book for those who want to learn the priciples of 'applied' epidemiology, for those who participate in outbreak investigations, and for those who just would like to have a better understanding of what field epidemiologists do when confronted with an outbreak."--Canadian Journal of Infectious Disease "The coverage of topics is broad, practical, and informal, rather than rigorous or academic. There are not only the expected chapters, such as those on study design, description, analysis, and interpretation of epidemiologic data, but also chapters on presenting scientific findings, dealing with newspaper and television reporters during field investigations, use of microcomputers, legal considerations in field investigations, and international travel....The strengths of the book derive from the authors' vast experiences training epidemiologists in their program. Examples from many CDC investigations provide clear and fascinating demonstrations of the authors' points."-- Journal of the American Medical Association "Excellent book for those who want to learn the priciples of 'applied' epidemiology, for those who participate in outbreak investigations, and for those who just would like to have a better understanding of what field epidemiologists do when confronted with an outbreak."--Canadian Journal of Infectious Disease "The coverage of topics is broad, practical, and informal, rather than rigorous or academic.
