Gordis Epidemiology, 7th Edition ( Indian Reprint) 2025

<strong>Epidemiology</strong> is the foundational discipline underlying public health. Clinical research relies heavily on epidemiologic concepts and methods, and contemporary medical care and health services research, particularly relevant in comparative effectiveness studies and statistical approaches to “big data” (as in the use of the electronic medical record for health studies). As Dr. Leon Gordis wrote in his preface to the fifth edition, “<strong>Epidemiology</strong> is the basic science of disease prevention and plays major roles in developing and evaluating public policy relating to health and to social and legal issues.” <strong>Epidemiology</strong> is also widely used in the evaluation of primary and secondary prevention programs, comparisons of interventions, and the evaluation of policy at the population level.
