Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 1981
Abstract Definitions and concepts in epidemiology are presented and their uses outlined. The measures of incidence and prevalence are distinguished and illustrated by examples in child psychiatry. The reliability and validity of surveys that elicit the frequency of psychiatric symptoms are discussed, including their relevance for clinical diagnosis ...

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 2010
Given the potential benefits of gene identification in psychiatry, genetic epidemiology has become a mainstream discipline within the field. This article discusses the main tools for gene discovery. The focus is on the designs and analytic approaches for each of these methods.

Research Methods in Epidemiology
Neurologic Clinics, 2016Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states and in specified populations and the application to control health problems. Classified as either descriptive or analytical, a variety of epidemiologic approaches can be used to allow assessment of hypothesized risk factor exposure with disease outcomes.

Epidemiology and the Scientific Method
International Journal of Health Services, 1980This article refutes the claim that the field of epidemiology and community health would benefit from the application of the scientific method. It is argued that the methods of physics are not appropriate for other disciplines. When applied to the social sciences, positivism is a conservatizing force, causing theory to become based on a mere ...

Ophthalmic Epidemiology, 2011
The pioneers in epidemiology were justifiably called “shoe leather” epidemiologists for their strong field work and willingness to hike into the Netherlands in search of answers to epidemics. I recall a beloved teacher, Dr. George Comstock, with his ingenious knitting needle that sorted data cards and enabled him to analyze data while up in Alaska or ...

Teaching Epidemiologic Methods
Epidemiology, 2008Advances in causal inference, study designs, and quantitative methods have led to new challenges for structuring a cohesive epidemiology methods course. This is particularly true for courses aimed at students who are training for a research career. Such students are expected to have a strong understanding of epidemiologic inference and modeling.

Epidemiology is an academic discipline that determines the distribution of disease onsets and the causes of the development of diseases. However, when causal relations between individual victims’ diseases and exposures are presumed based on prevalence rates among populations, a point of connection between epidemiology and jurisprudence is created ...

Epidemiological Concepts and Methods
1976The epidemiology of infectious diseases is concerned with the circumstances under which both infection and disease occur in a population and the factors that influence their frequency, spread, and distribution. This concept distinguishes between infection and disease because the factors that govern their occurrence may be different and because ...

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2002
When performing empirical research in public health and medicine, the investigator is typically faced with a variety of methodologic issues to resolve at the design and analysis stages of the research. The investigator must specify the research question, conceptualize and operationalize the variables to be measured, consider several research designs to
