Epidemiology has often been defined as the study of the
distribution of disease, together with the distribution of factors
that may modify that risk of disease. As such, epidemiology has
often been reduced to a methodology only, providing a mechanism for
the study of disease that is somehow removed, separate and apart
from the populations that serve as its focus. Epidemiology,
however, is much more than that. The discipline p- vides a way of
perceiving and knowing the world, and of relating to the c-
munities whose health and disease patterns we are trying to
understand. As such, its usefulness extends past the construction
of questionnaires, the detective work inherent in tracing the
source of an infection or the analysis of data. Rather,
epidemiology serves as a point of reference and a linkage between
various domains of reality: in the courtroom, between a com- nity's
injuries and those alleged to be responsible for those violations;
between the community striving to effectuate changes to improve its
health and environment and the lawmakers and policymakers whose
actions may dictate or control the likelihood of that change; and
between "mainstream" populations and those who become or remain
marginalized and stigmatized due to disease or perceived disease.
