Epidemiology for Public health Practice

Dr. Robert H. and Dr, Thomas A

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to control health problems. Public health practice is the application of scientific and technical knowledge to promote and protect the public's health. Epidemiology is the application of epidemiological principles and methods to public health practice. It is used to identify and assess public health problems, plan and implement public health interventions, and evaluate the effectiveness of public health programs. Epidemiology for public health practice is a complex and evolving field. It is constantly being refined as new knowledge is acquired and new methods are developed.
