Ethics and epidemiology

"This chapter considers the history of the rise of ethical concerns in the public health movement and epidemiology, which is the study of the distribution and determinants of disease in human populations. Epidemiology is a basic science in public health. This chapter provides an overview of early developments in public health and ethics. More recent developments are also discussed, including the origins of bioethics, regulatory safeguards for human subjects research, public health ethics, and contemporary epidemiologic ethics"--.
