Overview

Public health research is characterized by its multidisciplinary approach. In its research and administration, it makes use of a variety of fields, particularly epidemiology, biostatistics, the physical and social sciences as they relate to health, biology, genetics, and toxicology. Depending on the nature and scope of the study, it typically requires analyzing data from population samples on a range of scales.
