Pharmacoepidemiology studies the use of and the effects of medical products in large numbers of people and applies the methods of epidemiology to the content area of clinical pharmacology. This field represents the science underlying studies of the effects of medical products (such as drugs, biologicals, and devices) in real world use. Strom’s Textbook of Pharmacoepidemiology meets the increasing need for people to be trained in the field. Designed to meet the need of students, this textbook offers an approach that focuses on the core of the discipline, providing a focused educational resource for students. The book is designed for students at all levels: upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and others who are learning the field.
