This innovative volume introduces Trajectory Analysis, a new
systems-based approach to measuring nonlinear dynamics in
continuous change, to public health and epidemiology. It
synthesizes influential strands of statistical and probability
science (including chaos theory and catastrophe theory) to
complement existing methods and models used in the health fields.
The computational framework featured here pinpoints complex
cause-and-effect processes in behavioral change as individuals and
populations adjust to health interventions, with examples from
neuroscience and cardiology. But this is no mere academic exercise,
as the author illustrates how these methods can be harnessed toward
finding real-world answers to longstanding public health problems,
starting with treatment recidivism. Included in the coverage: * The
universality of physical principles in the analysis of health and
disease * The problem of recidivism in healthcare intervention
studies * Stability and reversibility/irreversibility of health
conditions * Chaos theory and sensitive dependence on initial
conditions * Applications in health monitoring and geographic
systems * Simulations, applications, and the challenge for public
health A stimulating new take on statistics with powerful
implications for future study, practice, and policy, Trajectory
Analysis in Health Care should interest public health
epidemiologists, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers.
