Field Epidemiology by Michael Gregg (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Field Epidemiology by Michael Gregg This book is the definitive guide to field epidemiology - the application of epidemiologic methods to unexpected health problems (e.g. bioterrorist attacks, natural disasters, industrial accidents) where rapid, on-site investigation is necessary. The third edition includes new chapters on environmental investigations and immunization strategies and evaluation. Existing chapters on bioterrorism, surveillance, and operations have been completely rewritten. The rest of the chapters have been revised and updated with new case studies and examples. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The new edition of this classic text continues its mission of describing the application of basic epidemiologic principles in real time, place, and person to solve problems of an urgent or emergency nature. Based on decades of experience in both infectious and noninfectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this book describes in clear and practical terms the distinct approach, tasks, and actions needed for successful fieldinvestigations. Guidance is given on such issues as how to perform surveillance, manage and execute field investigatins, collect and analyze data, perform surveys, adapt a personal computer for field use, andcommunicate the findings. Specific advice is also given on such subjects as dealing with the media; investigations in health care, day care, and international settings; and the legal aspects of field studies. An entire chapter covers the proper collection, handling, and testing of infectious and noninfectious agents in the field. This edition contains new chapters on environmental investigations and immunization practices for the field epidemiologist. The boko is based both on science andexperience. It deals with real problems, real places, and real people: natures experiment rather than carefully designed studies in a laboratory or clinical setting. So, in the lexicon of theepidemiologist, the book addresses issues relating to observational- not experimental- epidemiology. Author Biography Michael B.
