Authored by Timothy L. Lash, Tyler J. VanderWeele, Sebastien Haneause, and Kenneth Rothman, Modern Epidemiology, Fourth Edition remains the definitive text for this dynamic and evolving field. Fully revised, it offers in-depth coverage of the principles and methods essential for designing, analyzing, and interpreting epidemiologic research. With a new format featuring space for margin notes, this edition reflects the conceptual growth of epidemiology and its vital role in advancing public health and medicine. It introduces new topics like agent-based modeling, quasi-experimental designs, mediation analysis, and causal modeling, while updating methods such as interaction concepts, bias analysis, and time-varying designs. The book comprehensively addresses epidemiologic measures, study designs, validity, precision, statistical inference, field methods, surveillance, ecologic designs, and secondary data use. It explores data analysis techniques, including Bayesian analysis, probabilistic bias analysis, time-to-event analysis, and modern regression methods like logistic and survival regression, splines, longitudinal and cluster-correlated data analysis, propensity scores, and marginal structural models. The text also summarizes the history and future directions of specialized areas such as social epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, genetic and molecular epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, injury and violence epidemiology, and pharmacoepidemiology.
