Example text
The case-control study reentered medicine from the social sciences in the third decade of the twentieth century. The cohort study came into use after World War II, as a means of identifying risks associated with heart disease, lung cancer, and other emerging public health problems. Epidemiological “experiments” as now conducted in randomized trials are essentially modern innovations. Statistical methods and electronic computation have greatly improved epidemiological analysis. Present indications suggest expanding potential and an exciting future for epidemiology.
Information Systems Please see the chapter on public health informatics in this section. The ability to present epidemiological information to professional and public groups is as much a part of epidemiology as doing a case count or computing a relative risk. This skill differs from that of consultation because a presentation is most often a single event in which an epidemiologist discusses the investigation, often presenting complex information orally and visually to a large group. Consultation, on the other hand, is a process that requires information gathering, often involves interviewing, and may conclude with a presentation.
Statistics Statistics is closely allied to epidemiology. Epidemiologists need to know enough statistics to calculate rates and to decide how likely it is that differences in comparison groups could be due to chance. Statisticians support epidemiological studies in many ways, for example, helping determine sample size, choosing samples, ensuring data quality, selecting the correct approach to complex analysis, and interpreting findings. Laboratory Science Laboratory science is often the key to correctly identifying a disease agent and an environmental exposure.
