Ethics and Epidemiology

"Ethics and Epidemiology, 2nd edition, provides an in-depth account of the moral problems that often confront epidemiologists, including both theoretical and practical issues. In the ten years since the first edition was published, there have been many important ethical developments in epidemiology and related fields in public health and medicine. This new edition includes substantially revised and updated chapters from the first edition, along with new chapters on issues regarding the ethics of public health practice, international health research, and genetic epidemiology." "The goal of this book is to make epidemiologists, public health researchers, bioethicists, health policy-makers, and health professionals aware of situations that require moral reflection, judgment, or decision, while pointing to ways in which justified moral conclusions can be reached."--BOOK JACKET.
