In the nearly three years since the publication of the ActivEpi CD-ROM and its companion text, the authors received several suggestions to produce an abbreviated version that narrows the discussion to the most 'essential' principals and methods. A Pocket Guide to Epidemiology contains less than half as many pages as the ActivEpi Companion Text and is a stand-alone introductory text on the basic principals and concepts of epidemiology.

   INDICE: A pocket size introduction.- The big picture - with examples.- Howto set things up? Study designs.- How often does it happen? Disease frequency.- What's the answer? Measures of effect.- What is the public health impact?.-Is there something wrong? Validity and bias.- Were subjects chosen badly? Selection bias.- Are the data correct? Information bias.- Other factors accounted for? Confounding interaction.- Confounding can be counfounding - several risk factors.- Simple analyses - 2x2 tables are not that simple.- Control - what it's all about.- How to deal with lots of tables - stratified analysis.- Matching - seems easy, but not that easy.
