Over the past fifty years, the case-control method, and to a lesser extent its case-based variants, have become the most important tools for the investigator of health problems. The case control method is the study of persons with the disease and a suitable control group of persons who do not have the disease. The book helps readers address a number of general and specific questions dealing with the case-control and other case-based methods, including questions of how to design and implement a case-control study that minimizes biases, how to analyze the data to appropriately deal with confounding variables and help identify reactions, and how to interpret data and present the results from a case-control study.

"I would recommend this book to instructors of epidemiological design courses. It provides enough explanation and depth and discusses the positive and negative attributes of the case-control method. It provides a contemporary look at case-control studies and does not duplicate fundamentals in other books. It easily could be adopted and use in courses. It is a very useful publication for the understanding and application of this foremost design inepidemiology."--Doody's
