This textbook describes the basics of research in medical, clinical
and biomedical settings as well as the concepts and application of
epidemiologic designs in research conduct. Design transcends
statistical techniques, and no matter how sophisticated a
statistical modeling, errors of design/sampling cannot be
corrected. The authors of this textbook have presented a complex
field in a very simplified and friendly manner, with the intent
that such presentation will facilitate the understanding of design
process and epidemiologic thinking in clinical and biomedical
research. Research is presented as exercise around measurement,
with measurement error inevitable in its conduct, and hence the
inherent uncertainties of all findings in clinical and biomedical
research. Concise Epidemiologic Principles and Concepts covers
research conceptualization namely research objectives, questions,
hypothesis, design, implementation, data collection, analysis,
results, and interpretation. While the primary focus of
epidemiology is to assess the relationship between exposure (risk
or predisposing factor) and outcome (disease or health related
events), causal association is presented in a simplified manner
including the role of quantitative evidence synthesis
(meta-analysis) in causal inference. Epidemiology has evolved
during the past three decades resulting in several fields being
developed. This text presents in brief the perspectives and future
of epidemiology in the era of molecular basis of medicine. With
molecular epidemiology, we are better equipped with tools to
identify molecular biologic indicators of risk as well as biologic
alterations in the early stages of disease.
