Epidemiology and Public Health

Modern epidemiology and the use of biostatistics

The distribution and causes of sickness and health in populations are studied by epidemiologists. The planning, execution, and assessment of public health programmes and the data from public health research are all areas in which biostatisticians create and apply statistical theory, methods, and techniques. Essentially, the purpose of biostatistics is to decipher the data that has been received and draw reliable conclusions that may be applied to address issues with public health.
