Tobacco smoke and involuntary smoking -- An Introduction to Epidemiology -- Concepts and Methodological Approaches in Epidemiology -- Basic Concepts -- Rates, Risks, Measures of Association and Impact -- Descriptive Studies -- Use of Disease Registers -- Cohort Studies -- Case-Control Studies -- Modern Epidemiologic Study Designs -- Intervention Trials -- Confounding and Interaction -- Epidemiological Field Work in Population-Based Studies -- Exposure Assessment -- Design and Planning of Epidemiological Studies -- Quality Control and Good Epidemiological Practice -- Statistical Methods in Epidemiology -- Sample Size Determination in Epidemiologic Studies -- General Principles of Data Analysis: Continuous Covariables in Epidemiological Studies -- Regression Methods for Epidemiologic Analysis -- Survival Analysis -- Measurement Error -- Missing Data -- Meta-Analysis in Epidemiology -- Geographical Epidemiology -- Applications of Epidemiology -- Social Epidemiology -- Occupational Epidemiology -- Environmental Epidemiology -- Nutritional Epidemiology -- Reproductive Epidemiology -- Molecular Epidemiology -- Genetic Epidemiology -- Clinical Epidemiology -- Pharmacoepidemiology -- Screening -- Community-based Health Promotion -- Research Areas in Epidemiology -- Infectious Disease Epidemiology -- Cardiovascular Diseases -- Cancer Epidemiology -- Musculoskeletal Disorders -- Health Services Research -- Epidemiology in Developing Countries -- Ethical Aspects of Epidemiological Research.
The Handbook of Epidemiology provides a comprehensive overview of the field and thus bridges the gap between standard textbooks of epidemiology and dispersed publications for specialists that have a narrowed focus on specific areas. It reviews the key issues and methodological approaches pertinent to the field for which the reader pursues an expatiated overview. It thus serves both as a first orientation for the interested reader and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area as well as a quick reference and recapitulatory overview for the expert. The book includes topics that are usually missing in standard textbooks and that are only marginally represented in the specific literature as well as innovative areas, e.g. molecular epidemiology, ethical aspects, practical field work, health systems research, quality control, and good epidemiological practice. Each chapter is written by one or more leading scientists and represents the state-of-the-art knowledge.
