The new edition of this classic text continues its mission of
describing the application of basic epidemiologic principles in
real time, place, and person to solve problems of an urgent or
emergency nature. Based on decades of experience in both infectious
and noninfectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, this book describes in clear and practical terms the
distinct approach, tasks, and actions needed for successful field
investigations. Guidance is given on such issues as how to perform
surveillance, manage and execute field investigatins, collect and
analyze data, perform surveys, adapt a personal computer for field
use, and communicate the findings. Specific advice is also given on
such subjects as dealing with the media; investigations in health
care, day care, and international settings; and the legal aspects
of field studies. An entire chapter covers the proper collection,
handling, and testing of infectious and noninfectious agents in the
field. This edition contains new chapters on environmental
investigations and immunization practices for the field
epidemiologist. The boko is based both on science and experience.
It deals with real problems, real places, and real people: nature's
experiment rather than carefully designed studies in a laboratory
or clinical setting. So, in the lexicon of the epidemiologist, the
book addresses issues relating to observational- not experimental-
epidemiology.
