Introduction
• Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when,
and where), patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions
in defined populations.
• It is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and
evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and
targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study
design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation
and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional
systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology
used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a lesser extent,
basic research in the biological sciences.
