Now in its fully updated Fourth Edition, Modern Epidemiology remains the definitive resource in this dynamic and evolving discipline. This edition delivers comprehensive insights into the principles and methods for designing, analyzing, and interpreting epidemiologic research. With a new format that includes space for margin notes, it enhances accessibility while: • Reflecting the conceptual advancements in this evolving science and epidemiology’s critical role in advancing public health and medicine. • Introducing new topics such as agent-based modeling, quasi-experimental designs, mediation analysis, and causal modeling. • Updating methods like interaction concepts, bias analysis, and time-varying designs and analysis. • Providing extensive coverage of epidemiologic methods and concepts, including measures of occurrence and effect, study designs, validity, precision, statistical inference, field methods, surveillance, ecologic designs, and secondary data sources. • Exploring data analysis techniques, including Bayesian analysis, probabilistic bias analysis, time-to-event analysis, and a thorough overview of modern regression methods such as logistic and survival regression, splines, longitudinal and cluster-correlated/hierarchical data analysis, propensity scores, other scoring methods, and marginal structural models. • Summarizing the history, specialized areas, and future directions of fields like social epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, genetic and molecular epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, injury and violence epidemiology, and pharmacoepidemiology.
