This more organically follows the development, in our opinion, of how epidemiologic observations and hypotheses are developed in the daily practice of doing epidemiology. As with the previous edition, the sixth edition consists of three sections. Section I addresses how epidemiology is used to understand health and the development of diseases in populations as well as the basis for interventions to influence the natural history of disease. The first six chapters provide the conceptual framework underlying the discipline of epidemiology and present many of the basic principles of the disci- pline. Chapter 1 provides an overview of epidemiology, using many historical examples to illustrate how the field developed.

Chapter 2 is concerned with how disease is transmitted in populations, both directly in the case of infectious pathogens and indirectly for example, through a vector such as a mosquito or contaminated air. The basic terms used in epidemics are presented and illustrated to guide the student in seeing how these principles and terms are used. Chapter 3 addresses disease surveillance and how we measure morbidity in populations, while Chapter 4 is concerned with aspects of mortality and measures of disease impact in populations. The issues of the reliability and validity of screening tests are of critical interest to both clinicians and to those planning for health services.

Finally, Chapter 6 presents how the natural history of disease can be used to best express disease prognosis, using examples of case-fatality and survivorship. Section II details the methods used by epidemiolo- gists primarily to ascribe associations between a hypothesized exposure risk and a health outcome. Chapter 7 discusses the initial observations made in clinical practice the case report leading to a recognition of an accumulation of cases that appear to have some commonalities the case series. This is followed by an introduction to the ecologic design and its analysis, with cautions as to its interpretation. Finally, cross- sectional snapshot studies are presented as the groundwork for hypothesis development. Chapter 8 then provides an introduction to observational studies as commonly used in epidemiology, addressing case- control and cohort studies, which are then compared in Chapter 9. To this point, we are addressing exposures as they occur in populations, where we are observers of exposures and their putative impacts on health outcomes.

In this case the exposure is under the control of the investigator, not the study participant, a crucial differ- ence in the randomized trial as compared to the cohort or other observational study design. Chapter 11 dis- cusses a series of issues involved in the conduct of randomized trials, including sample size, power, and generalizability; determining efficacy vs. effectiveness ; ethical considerations; and the US Federal Drug Administration phases for evaluating new drugs. In Chapter 12 we present issues on estimating risk, includ- ing absolute and relative risk and their interpretation, calculating and interpreting an odds ratio in a case- control study and in a cohort study, and doing so in a matched-pairs case-control study.

In Chapter 13 the concept of risk is expanded to include the calculation and interpretation of the attributable risk, the population attributable risks, and their use in evaluating the success of prevention programs. Causal inference is introduced in Chapter 14 and focuses on how to derive inferences in epidemiologic investigations. Chapter 15 presents issues of bias, confounding, and interaction in epide- miologic studies and discusses how they influence causal inference. Finally, Chapter 16 addresses the role of genetic and environmental contributions to the etiology of disease, and presents new methods of genetic research commonly used in epidemiologic studies today. Section III addresses the uses of epidemiology in everyday public health. The final four chapters address some of the critical issues facing the field today. Chapter 17 illustrates how epidemiologic principles and designs described in Sections I and II are used in the evaluation of health services. Chapter 18 addresses the use of epidemiology to evaluate screening programs, while Chapter 19 details how epidemiology can be used to address major areas of public health policy.

The final chapter summarizes ethical issues confronted in the practice of epidemiology and reviews some of the important professional issues confronted by the field today. We have updated examples extensively and added new examples throughout the text. Many of the prior chapters have been extensively edited and updated, with some chapters being greatly expanded. The genetic epidemiology presentation has been heavily edited and updated, reflecting the amazing growth in genomics research in the past 5 years. In Chapter 16 we have added a glossary of genetic epidemiology terms to provide the student with some guidance for this somewhat complex field. Finally, new review questions have been added at the end of most chapters. Our aim for this book is to allow the reader to appreciate how epidemiology can be used to respond to population health problems confronting society today.

Our expectation is not that the reader will be able to conduct an epidemiologic investigation. We hope that the excitement we feel about the uses of epidemiology will come across to the reader of this text. The cover illustration selected for this edition of Gordis Epidemiology has special meaning. Much of Dr. We are particularly proud to include this tribute by Dr. Armenian to Dr. Gordis and to our first revision of his world-renowned text. This sixth edition has kept our mind on our friend and mentor. David D. The course was developed by the Department of Epidemiology faculty and was first taught as Principles of Epidemiology by Dr. Abraham Lilienfeld, the chair of the department from — Leon Gordis became the course instructor following an acute illness experienced by Dr.

Lilienfeld in the midst of teaching the subject in Gordis then was the primary lecturer for the following 30 years. In addition, Dr. Gordis taught epidemiology to many cohorts of School of Medicine students for a similar period of time. This book was developed from these experiences, and Dr. Gordis was the author of the first five editions of this very popular text. The current authors were trained in public health at Johns Hopkins and were actively engaged as members of the epidemiology teaching team for many years when they were junior faculty.
