Recenzii

It would be impossible to find a better overview in one volume...this handbook deserves a place in every pocket, briefcase and department wherever there is a need to complement passion and persuasion with method and measurement David Pencheon, Director, Eastern Region Public Health Observatory

For those wanting an accurate but handy handbook for quickly understanding core issues and getting on with analyses or action, this new text will be of great use. J. Michael Oakes, International Journal of Epidemiology

This book will certainly find wide use in the public health/social epidemiology/health inequalities community and, I suspect, will be one of the more well-thumbed books in their collections. Public Health
