• Description:
  Epidemiologic studies further our understanding about environmental determinants of disease and serve as a basis for developing public health policy. All health professionals rely to some degree on epidemiologic literature. To remain current in their fields they need to be able to assess the quality of studies. This chapter is designed to assist health professionals in understanding how epidemiology is applied to occupational health and in critically interpreting the relevant epidemiologic literature.
