Statistics in Public Health cover

Statistics and other quantitative methods (e.g. economics, decision theory) are integral to the scientific basis of priority-setting and program evaluation in public health. This book is a concise overview of the statistical approaches to core public health functions: outbreak investigations, policy development, economic and program evaluation, managed care, and program operations

"All in all, this book provides unique and complete overview of all the components that make up public health. It includes enough statistical and quantitative methods to be a useful pointer to methods for the different types of problems found in public health. Even an experienced biostatistician will benefit from some areas that they are not familiar with." --Statistics in Epidemiology Report "By emphasizing the connection between statistics and decision making, this book brings statistical methods that much closer to public health practice."--Doody's Journal
