A practical introduction to epidemiology, biostatistics, and
research methodology for the whole health care community This
comprehensive text, which has been extensively revised with new
material and additional topics, utilizes a practical slant to
introduce health professionals and students to epidemiology,
biostatistics, and research methodology. It draws examples from a
wide range of topics, covering all of the main contemporary health
research methods, including survival analysis, Cox regression, and
systematic reviews and meta-analysis the explanation of which go
beyond introductory concepts. This second edition of Quantitative
Methods for Health Research: A Practical Interactive Guide to
Epidemiology and Statistics also helps develop critical skills that
will prepare students to move on to more advanced and specialized
methods. A clear distinction is made between knowledge and concepts
that all students should ensure they understand, and those that can
be pursued further by those who wish to do so. Self-assessment
exercises throughout the text help students explore and reflect on
their understanding. A program of practical exercises in SPSS
(using a prepared data set) helps to consolidate the theory and
develop skills and confidence in data handling, analysis, and
interpretation. Highlights of the book include: * Combining
epidemiology and bio-statistics to demonstrate the relevance and
strength of statistical methods * Emphasis on the interpretation of
statistics using examples from a variety of public health and
health care situations to stress relevance and application * Use of
concepts related to examples of published research to show the
application of methods and balance between ideals and the realities
of research in practice * Integration of practical data analysis
exercises to develop skills and confidence * Supplementation by a
student companion website which provides guidance on data handling
in SPSS and study data sets as referred to in the text Quantitative
Methods for Health Research, Second Edition is a practical learning
resource for students, practitioners and researchers in public
health, health care and related disciplines, providing both a
course book and a useful introductory reference.
