DESCRIPTION:
L Chesnut said Great Contribution to Perinatal Epidemiology. This book is the basis for a course at our University. It is timely, thorough and makes a substantial contribution to the field, particularly for teaching new perinatal epidemiologists. This is one book that I don't loan out but that I highly recommend to students and refer to often.. Excellent resource This book is the best concise review of perinatal epidemiology. Dr. Kirby and his colleagues really made a great contribution in this book. The tables are ultra useful for those interested in researching perinatal health topics.
From the reviews: "This is the latest addition to the small number of books on reproductive and perinatal epidemiology methods. … the writing style, the clear explanations, and the many pictorial depictions will make this a very popular book for teachers and students of reproductive and perinatal epidemiology, as well as a useful methods handbook for those in the trenches." (Arden Handler, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2009)
