Abstract

In 2010 a series of workshops on philosophical and methodological issues in epidemiology was held at the University of Cambridge. The papers in this volume arise from those workshops. This paper represents an effort to identify, in broad brush, some of the major conceptual and methodological issues in epidemiology, which form the basis of an emerging focus on the philosophy of epidemiology.
