Dictionary of Pharmacoepidemiology

Written by an internationally renowned authority in the field, this is the most complete dictionary devoted specifically to the terms currently used in pharmacoepidemiology. The use of clear and consistent terminology in science has never been more important, and this dictionary, which has been translated from the third edition of a French original, has been reworked to include suggestions made by pharmacoepidemiologists currently using existing versions. It contains revised definitions for nearly all established terms in addition to comprehensive descriptions of new terms and is well illustrated with practical examples. This outstandingly high-quality dictionary will be essential for all those whose work is within or touches upon this field: regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical physicians, lawyers, pharmacists, researchers, evaluators and students.Das erste englischsprachige Wörterbuch, das die in der Pharmakoepidemiologie gebräuchlichen Begriffe erklärt!
