Synopsis

This text shows how epidemiology can provide a valuable basis for health policy-making. Part I is a general introduction to health policy, relevant methods and health data, while Part II presents applications specific to each step of the policy cycle. Many practical examples are provided, but mathematics is kept to an elementary level. The book is intended for persons who have completed introductory courses in epidemiology and biostatistics. Its recurring theme is the interaction between health phenomena and the underlying population dynamics.
