various groups in the population
- EPIDEMIOLOGY INFORMATION CAN BE USED TO PREVENT DISEASE AND PROMOTE HEALTH
11. social epidemiology: studies the social distributions and determinants of health
12. causation: changes in an independent variable lead to changes in the dependent variable
13. Correlation: relationship between 2 or more variables that does not mean casualty
