This groundbreaking book presents compelling data and research which reveals the shocking social and economic impact of HIV/AIDS on a global scale. Barnett and Whiteside—experts in the field for over 15 years—argue that it is vital to not only look at the disease in terms of prevention and treatment, but to also consider consequences which affect households, communities, companies, governments, and countries. This is a major contribution toward understanding the global public health crisis, as well as the relationship between poverty, inequality, and infectious diseases.
Evidence-based medicine was developed to help physicians decide
whether giving a patient a particular medicine is better than doing
nothing at all, and occasionally to decide whether one medicinal
product is better than another. Yet evidence-based medicine, as it
is currently structured, provides only limited guidance for helping
physicians decide what kind of care would be best for a particular
patient at a particular point in time. To remedy this problem,
epidemiologists must find ways to help physicians and laymen make
use of epidemiological evidence, as well as experimental evidence.
This book discusses the principles, implementation methods and
effectiveness of evidence-based medicine.
