Opis

Epidemiology for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Professionals presents students with practical applications that incorporate up-to-date epidemiological findings into health promotion and disease prevention concepts. This comprehensive textbook establishes an operational understanding of the cause and control of disease not only for students in the public health, nursing, medicine, and environmental health fields, but also for future and current health and patient educators, fitness and exercise science specialists, and athletic and personal trainers.
