Epidemiology

Epidemiology is, by definition, a multidisciplinary science. Epidemiology requires integrating knowledge from medicine, politics, social and environmental sciences, statistics, and mathematics.

In addition, the evaluation of health phenomena, such as vulnerability, must consider the assessment of other health status determinants at the biological, psychological, and social levels.

From this series offered by EUR-LIVE, we aim to develop methodological approaches to better assess multi-domain health problems such as vulnerability.
