Epidemiology the backbone of public health

Epidemiology underpins everything we do in public health and global health. Epidemiology is more than just research methods and qualitative and quantitative study design. Its about understanding the distribution of states of health and the exposures that cause them. And its about causation. Epidemiology is about population health, outbreaks, pandemics, epidemics. And of course its includes non-communicable diseases too.

Epidemiology is the study of the prevalence and why of diseases in various groups of people. Epidemiological knowledge is used to prepare and assess disease prevention approaches, and as a guide to health care under which disease has already developed.

Hello Dr. Martin. Thanks for your video about Epi. I'm the first one in my community and family to be in PH and Epi so I was looking for a video to share with my professional social justice network, community, and friends/family. This video has great graphics. It has a great goal to cover the basic of Epi. Some feedback are that the speaker's speed is quite fast so I used closed captioning. I understood the concepts mentioned however I've completed biostats, epidemiology, advanced epi, etc. while I've been working on my MPH-MPHP with a focus on epidemiology. I would recommend attempting to break this video apart or simplify because it covers quite a lot. It could potentially be a summary for new students as they start their first epi course however there are quite a lot of terms that may soar over their heads. Finally, I was confused with the divisions in the video. I'll watch again however I believe I heard three sections: 1) intro, 2) advertisement for Univ. of Maryland, and 3) intro then epi review. The large section on Univ. of Maryland seems very out of place and confusing in this place as well as added a chunk of time that I found detracting from the goal. Overall, I thought it was a good start but I would not (at this point) really recommend it to my fellow epi students nor to students I meet along the way who are thinking of taking epi or focusing on the subject. I wish you the best and will explore your other videos.

Epidemiology is the science that considers the demographic, geographic and the temporal distribution of exposures and outcomes and the causative relationship between them.
