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.

Haroutune Armenian is a Professor of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
"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 in epidemiology."--Doody's
