Covering the theory, models, and methods used to measure and analyze these phenomena, this book serves as both an introduction to the field and a practical manual for data collection and analysis. This new second edition has been updated to reflect the field's tremendous growth in recent years, including advancements in statistical modeling and study designs. New chapters delve into genetic methods, structural cofounding, selection bias, network methods, and more, including new discussion on qualitative data collection with disadvantaged populations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial epidemiology studies the way society's innumerable social interactions, both past and present, yields different exposures and health outcomes between individuals within populations.
