Die Pharmakoepidemiologie ist im Bereich der Gesundheitswissenschaften eine der jüngsten Disziplinen. Sie verbindet die Wissenschaftsbereiche Pharmakologie, klinische Medizin, Epidemiologie und Biostatistik und ist dadurch zur wissenschaftlichen Basis der Praxis der Arzneimittelsicherheit geworden. Das vorliegende englisch-deutsche Wörterbuch enthält die wichtigsten Termini (ca. 500), Definitionen und Konzepte des epidemiologischen Themenspektrums und richtet sich an alle, die Gesundheitsforschung betreiben oder sich mit ihren Ergebnissen auseinandersetzen. Das Buch will dazu beitragen, den Gebrauch von fachspezifischen Termini im Bereich Pharmakoepidemiologie international zu standardisieren. Zur Definition von Begriffen ist jeweils die Originalliteratur herangezogen worden. Die Fundstelle ist für jeden Terminus angegeben und soll dem Benutzer so die Möglichkeit geben, sich bei Bedarf auch umfassender mit einem Begriff und seinem Umfeld auseinandersetzen zu können.
