Gordis Epidemiology

Gordis Epidemiology, 6th Edition, is an introductory textbook continuing the educational tradition of Dr. Leon Gordis from Johns Hopkins University. The volume provides a grounding in fundamental epidemiologic principles alongside practical applications across public health and clinical care.

Subject coverage reflects contemporary epidemiologic practice, with chapters advancing from preliminary observation and hypothesis formulation to data collection and analysis.
