Synopsis
This is the sixth edition of Survey Methods in Community Medicine, which has established itself as a standard guide to the design, conduct, and analysis of studies concerned with health, disease, and health care. It is written for students and practitioners of community medicine and public health (epidemiologists, family physicians, nurses, health educators, administrators, and others) who are interested in planning investigations of groups and populations, such as health surveys, cohort studies, comparisons of cases and controls, prophylactic and therapeutic trials, and other epidemiological and evaluative research.  The book may also be helpful to non-researchers who wish to enhance their capacity for the judicious appraisal of medical literature. It is a step by step guide to the design, conduct and analysis of these studies, and assumes little prior knowledge, but has copious notes and references for the benefit of readers who wish to learn more. This edition has been revised and updated throughout, with the addition of - A new chapter on the use of the Web in health research. A guide to free computer programs for use in the planning, performance, and analysis of studies., A simple and systematic guide to the planning and performance of investigations concerned with health and disease and with health care Offers researchers help in choosing a topic and to think about shaping objectives and ideas and to link these with the appropriate choice of method Fully updated with new sections on the use of the Web and computer programmes freely available in the planning, performance or analysis of studies

    I don't know how anyone else could have had problems with this seller. The seller helped save me a whole lot of money by not just having a used item exactly as described but also helping me by accepting my offer for a price within my budget. This was the best transaction I've had on eBay since I started purchasing from eBay in 2005. Definitely not a greedy seller and very excellent with communication, and shipped fast and safe through USPS.

I couldn't believe I was able to get such a quality product on Ebay at such a reasonable cost and aI was offered a discount as well. Thanks so much for selling these shoes on Ebay. I highly recommend this Seller.

    The bow was as described for parts. Unfortunately there was damage to more than I anticipated, but that's my fault for not looking closer at the photos. A couple of parts were missing that were in the photo, but the seller offered to reimburse me the cost of the parts. Decent communication. It was packaged well and sent via FedEx so it arrived on time.
