Описание: Successfully tested in the authors' courses at Boston University and Harvard University, this text combines theory and practice in presenting traditional and new epidemiologic concepts. Broad in scope, the text opens with five chapters covering the basic epidemiologic concepts and data sources. A major emphasis is placed on study design, with separate chapters devoted to each of the three main analytic designs: experimental, cohort, and case-control studies.

Full chapters on bias, confounding, and random error, including the role of statistics in epidemiology, ensure that students are well-equipped with the necessary information to interpret the results of epidemiologic studies. An entire chapter is also devoted to the concept of effect measure modification, an often-neglected topic in introductory textbooks. Up-to-date examples from the epidemiologic literature on diseases of public health importance are provided throughout the book.

The Third Edition is a thorough update that offers:
-New examples, the latest references, and public health statistics.
-Nearly 50 new review questions.
-Updated discussion of certain epidemiologic methods.
-New figures depicting epidemiologic concepts.

Описание: This unique book provides a retrospective analysis of the changes in survival outcomes at the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center over the past six decades. Since opening its doors in 1944, M.D. Anderson has kept a continuous, uninterrupted data repository of the treatment and outcomes of each of its patients. It is this visionary database from the center’s tumor registry which makes this groundbreaking book possible. Tracking results across time, this book shows radical shifts in outcomes trends, where great progress has been made, and where there is still a long way to go, and offers a snapshot into the parallel history of developments in care. Such data is crucial to informing how patients are counseled, how treatment decisions are determined, and how prognoses are made. 60 Years of Survival Outcomes at the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is the only book to concurrently present longitudinal data on survival outcomes across the spectrum of rare and common cancers. Each chapter deals with a specific disease site, discussing current management approaches and presenting key data replete with illustrative charts, graphs, and tables. With the resources available only to the practitioners at this inimitable institution, this book heralds a cornerstone moment in the study of survival outcomes and the depth of our knowledge of cancer care.

Описание: New technology has offered the public the opportunity to witness police use of force far more frequently than in the past – and has brought into sharp focus a number of big questions. Where does police power to use force come from? How have the federal courts ruled on the subject? What sort of guidelines have police departments given their officers, and are they appropriate guidelines? Do the officers follow them?Craig Boylstein draws extensively on data to explore these questions, addressing current controversies, analyzing how force is applied in various contexts and across various populations, and considering the role of policing as social control in the modern state.

Описание: This book examines socioeconomic inequality and student outcomes across various Western industrialized nations and the varying success they have had in addressing achievement gaps in lower socioeconomic status student populations. It presents the national profiles of countries with notable achievement gaps within the respective school-aged student populations, explains the trajectory of achievement results in relation to both national and international large-scale assessment measures, and discusses how relevant education policies have evolved within their national contexts. Most importantly, the national profiles investigate the effectiveness of policy responses that have been adopted to close the achievement gap in lower socioeconomic status student populations. This book provides a cross-national analysis of policy approaches designed to address socioeconomic inequality.

Описание: If relationships are the foundation on which social capital is built, then individuals are the stars at the centre of the construct. From there, the linkages are made to either bond or bridge individuals in an interconnected fashion. As connections form, the depth and breadth of ones social capital changes, this may prompt a shift in perspective that offers new and unique "illuminations" or experiences. While most would agree that social capital emerged out of sociology, it has been extended and has become a core concept in many other disciplines, such as economics, business, political science, social work, health, etc. This collection is illustrative of that growth as the contributions represent a range of disciplines, methodologies, samples of diverse backgrounds, and conclusions. Taking an "eye of the beholder" approach in conceptualising social capital can be problematic, and caution should be exercised in ensuring that the construct does not become so divergent that its relative importance is lost. Using seminal works that have had a major impact on the construct development and popularity, the beauty of the book is its multidisciplinary, multilevel, mixed-methods, global approach to examining social capital.
