| | Epidemiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Epidemiological studies are generally categorized as descriptive, analytic (aiming to examine associations, commonly hypothesized causal relationships), and experimental (a term often equated with clinical or community trials of treatments and other interventions). | | | Strict requirements for scientific accuracy are sometimes relaxed in the course of public health education regarding epidemiologic findings. | | | This of course does not mean that epidemiologists can advocate for whatever positions they please independent of the data, but presentation of results to the general public is sometimes simplified to help change behavior or understanding. |
