Building on the success of the first and second editions, the updated third edition of the Handbook of Epidemiology serves as a major reference for all researchers who want to conduct epidemiological studies or who want to deepen their understanding of epidemiological concepts, methods, and areas of application. The new edition provides an update of all chapters of the second edition and includes additional new chapters to account for recent developments in the field. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and covers basic approaches as well as novel and advanced methodologies with a strong applied focus by integrating the most relevant state-of-the-art knowledge that otherwise could only be gathered from single specialist publications dispersed over various scientific journals. It reviews the key issues and methodological approaches pertinent to the field for which the reader pursues an expatiated overview. It may thus serve both as a first orientation for the interested reader and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area as well as a quick reference and a recapitulatory update for the expert.The broad scope of the book becomes apparent by its five sections that facilitate an integration of epidemiological concepts and methods, statistical tools, applications, and epidemiological practice: Part I covers Concepts and Designs in Epidemiology; Part II, Methodological Approaches in Epidemiology; Part III, Statistical Methods in Epidemiology; Part IV, Exposure-Oriented Epidemiology; and Part V, Outcome-Oriented Epidemiology. All chapters follow a similar structure and highlight cross-references to related topics and specialist knowledge to be found in the Handbook. They give an overview of the topic and the most important problems and approaches that are illustrated by examples. Each chapter serves as an introductory text that helps to enter a new field by addressing basic concepts without being too elementary. Thus, it also is of interest for readers who are familiar with the particular topic by reflecting on its state-of-the-art and future perspectives. Each chapter stands on its own and comprises introductory elements that can be understood by the novice, i.e., a readership not being too familiar with the methodological background, and extends to in-depth knowledge that may serve as a reference for the trained epidemiologist. The standard procedures and methods, basic concepts, and knowledge are presented as well as recent advances and new perspectives. The list of references thus covers the whole range from introductory texts to publications for the advanced reader. In particular, the chapters on statistical methods are written for researchers in health sciences who do not have the background of theoretical statisticians and may be in need of application-oriented tools. These chapters offer numerous examples, practical applications, and illustrations. Handbook of Epidemiology, 3rd Edition, is a relevant resource for professionals involved in health research, health reporting, health promotion, disease prevention, health services, and health systems administration, as well as those who need a reference book that covers all aspects of epidemiology as a comprehensive consultant for specific topics. The Handbook also is a useful text for researchers and graduate students in all disciplines related to epidemiology and public health.

Handbook of Epidemiology

Social Justice

This book sheds new light on the complex relationship between criminal liability, sexuality and public health in the era of Aids. It analyses, in particular, the role of public health arguments, and the language of 'sexual rights', in legal struggles aimed at decriminalising certain forms of 'risky' sexual conduct. Addressing gay sex, paid sex, and sex carried out by people living with HIV and Aids, the book demonstrates how public health experts are increasingly arguing that the criminal laws used to regulate these areas of behaviour should be abandoned in order to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by the 'risky' sexual populations that they target.

This book sheds new light on the complex relationship between criminal liability, sexuality and public health in the era of Aids. It analyses, in particular, the role of public health arguments, and the language of ‘sexual rights’, in legal struggles aimed at decriminalising certain forms of ‘risky’ sexual conduct. Addressing gay sex, paid sex, and sex carried out by people living with HIV and Aids, the book demonstrates how public health experts are increasingly arguing that the criminal laws used to regulate these areas of behaviour should be abandoned in order to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by the ‘risky’ sexual populations that they target. In so doing, it is argued, the ability of those populations to protect themselves and others from infection with HIV is increased, whilst also making it easier for clinicians and sexual health workers to help manage those risks. Integrating queer theory with other Foucault-inspired critical interventions, this book builds upon recent conversations between queer theory, feminism and postcolonial studies in order to contend that the use of public health arguments aimed at decriminalising sexual conduct creates new opportunities, but also new challenges, for contemporary sexual movements.

Critical Approaches to Health

Health Anxiety and the Quest for Safety critically examines how psychological and socio-cultural processes influence anxiety and safety-seeking behaviour concerning perceived health risks in globalised information societies. It provides insights into how people respond to uncertainty and perceived threats to their body and health in the 'age of anxiety'. In examining the history of health anxiety, the author explores fluctuations in concepts, highlighting the power dynamics, uncertainties, and biased social and scientific attitudes in the background. The chapters offer a critical analysis of contemporary safety-seeking strategies, including online health information searches, fad diets, self-tracking, body image interventions, and the pursuit of personal meaning and well-being. Additionally, the book investigates how sociocultural influences can induce guilt about one's body and health, promote self-blame, or foster stigmatising attitudes, while emphasising how the emergence of 'psy-culture', pop psychology, and digital tools may enhance health empowerment but also generate health-related anxieties and deepen inequalities. As a critical reflection on prevailing individualistic paradigms, the work also considers concepts that emphasise resonance and connectedness. This book is valuable reading for clinical and health psychologists, critical social scientists, researchers, and students in the health sciences, as well as practitioners in all healthcare settings, psychotherapists, and communication specialists.

Dieses Sachbuch richtet sich an alle an der Thematik des Alters (in Verbindung mit Gewalt) Interessierten, d.h. Angehörige, Gesundheitsberufler und alle, die sich mit alten Menschen beschäftigen. Es stellt den Problembereich Gewalt im Alter unter verschiedenen Aspekten dar. Gewalt -ein prozessorientiertes Geschehen- ereignet sich zwar in Beziehungen, doch ist sie ohne Einbeziehung struktureller Aspekte kaum vorstellbar. Gewaltfördernde Bereiche werden verdeutlicht. Gewalt ist nur eine kurzfristige Möglichkeit, einer Konfliktsituation zu begegnen. Es gibt immer Alternativen, die allerdings von vielen Faktoren abhängig sind. Diese werden praxis- und lösungsorientiert dargestellt. Angehörige erhalten hilfreich Tipps und Professionals erkennen, dass Gewalt nichts mit Professionalität zu tun hat.

'Ich bin Neurochirurg geworden, weil ich verstehen wollte, wie der Geist funktioniert, nicht um Gehirne zu operieren.' Jesús Martin-Fernandez Der junge Neurochirurg Dr. Jesús Martín-Fernández schrieb Medizingeschichte: Er führte die ersten Wachoperationen durch, bei denen er mithilfe Künstlicher Intelligenz die Emotionen seiner Hirntumorpatienten identifizierte. Dadurch ermöglichte er nicht nur seinen Patienten eine signifikant höhere Lebensqualität, sondern öffnete auch die Tür zu neuen und faszinierenden Theorien über das geheimnisvollste Organ des menschlichen Körpers, das Gehirn.Auf packende und berührende Weise erzählt er seine persönliche Geschichte, bei der der geniale Funke seines Entdeckergeistes überspringt. Den von ihm miteingeleiteten Paradigmenwechsel erklärt er anschaulich mit Abbildungen und anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele seiner Patientinnen und Patienten. Der Bestseller aus Spanien verbessert das Verständnis vom menschlichen Gehirn und hat eine inspirierende Botschaft: 'Geh weiter deinen Weg. Halte durch. Denn genau dort findest du die Wahrheit.'
