Controlled Epidemiological Studies 1st Edition

Controlled Epidemiological Studies, 1st Edition by Marie Reilly is a clear, authoritative guide for researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals who need practical expertise in designing and interpreting controlled epidemiological research. This accessible volume cuts through complexity to deliver real-world frameworks for robust study design, rigorous bias reduction, and sound interpretation that apply across settings — from urban hospitals in the United States and Europe to field studies in low- and middle-income countries.

You’ll find lucid explanations of study types, selection strategies, measurement issues, confounding and effect modification, and ethical considerations — all presented with an emphasis on reproducible methods and transparent reporting. The writing balances technical precision with readable examples, making it valuable both as a classroom text and a reference for practitioners planning observational and controlled investigations.

Whether you are an epidemiology student, a public health researcher, or a clinician designing population studies, this book equips you to produce credible, policy-relevant evidence.

Ideal for global health contexts and locally focused research alike, Controlled Epidemiological Studies provides the methodological grounding needed to influence practice and policy.
