Best Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings (Scientific Publication)

Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings (Scientific Publication) by Pan Amer Health Org

"A great anthology. . . Discussions by the compilers are valuable."-Annals of Internal Medicine

"By publishing this book the Pan American Health Organization has done a big favor to those of us with an interest in the key events which have contributed to the development of epidemiology."-The Lancet

Edited by four eminent epidemiologists, this book consolidates, for the first time, a core of landmark articles on the evolution, scope and limitations, uses, and prospects of epidemiology. An outstanding feature of the book is the inclusion of the editors' assessments of the realm of epidemiology, where it is and where it should be going. It represents a useful tool for both students and practicing professionals and provides a much-needed frame of reference for reorienting the practice of epidemiology.

The book is a collection of 91 articles, grouped in five sections. The first two sections deal with the historical evolution of the discipline and sections 3 and 4 address the application of epidemiology. Finally, section 5 offers the editors views on epidemiology's future.Read more Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings (Scientific Publication)

Best Ethical and Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research: Readings and Commentary

Ethical and Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research: Readings and Commentary by The Johns Hopkins University Press

All investigators funded by the National Institutes of Health are now required to receive training about the ethics of clinical research. Based on a course taught by the editors at NIH, Ethical and Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research is the first book designed to help investigators meet this new requirement. The book begins with the history of human subjects research and guidelines instituted since World War II. It then covers various stages and components of the clinical trial process: designing the trial, recruiting participants, ensuring informed consent, studying special populations, and conducting international research. Concluding chapters address conflicts of interest, scientific misconduct, and challenges to the IRB system. The appendix provides sample informed consent forms.

This book will be used in undergraduate courses on research ethics and in schools of medicine and public health by students who are or will be carrying out clinical research. Professionals in need of such training and bioethicists also will be interested.
