American College of Epidemiology         Resources for epidemiologists

Epidemiology draws on a number of academic disciplines in order to associate the onset of disease with specific characteristics or factors that may cause adverse health.  Among the tools that epidemiologists use are a wide variety of study techniques and methods, computer statistical applications, and extensive reports from colleagues and collaborators.  The internet provides a valuable resource for understanding the vast amount of programs and techniques available to epidemiologists.  Some sites of interest include:

•   Jonathan Swinton’s dictionary of terms for epidemiologists

•   A list of epi software compiled by Expert Health Data Programming

•   Current reports from other epidemiologists
