Extract

Epidemiology, which addresses the health of populations rather than that of individuals, is a complex discipline with a special language and set of methodologies that distinguish it from clinical research. Its objectives include identifying the causes of disease, mapping patterns of use of healthcare services, and measuring the costs to the community of mental and physical illness.
