Summary "This book is primarily written for students of nursing and is relevant to all branches of Project 2000. The book covers some of the key issues in public health and epidemiology which are relevant to nursing. The chapters are written in a study guide format, and each poses a series of questions and exercises which the reader is encouraged to think about and work through. The aim is to introduce the reader to some of the key concepts in public health and epidemiology in a way which stimulates them to think through many of the issues for themselves. It is hoped that An Introductory Study guide to Public Health and Epidemiology will prove a useful resource to nursing students, tutors, and to qualified nurses entering the areas of community and public health."--BOOK JACKET
