NURS 8310 – Epidemiology and Population Health Case Study
Paper
Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different
groups of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to
plan and evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to
the management of patients in whom disease has already
developed.
Like the clinical findings and pathology, the epidemiology of a
disease is an integral part of its basic description. The subject has
its special techniques of data collection and interpretation, and its
necessary jargon for technical terms. This short book aims to
provide an ABC of the epidemiological approach, its terminology,
and its methods. Our only assumption will be that readers already
believe that epidemiological questions are worth answering. This
introduction will indicate some of the distinctive characteristics of
the epidemiological approach. NURS 8310 – Epidemiology and
