AB It  is  apparent  to  anyone  who  reads  the  medical  literature  today  that  some  knowledge  of  biostatistics  and  epidemiology  is  a  necessity.  This  is  particularly  true  in  occupational  and  environmental  health  in  which  many  of  the  findings  are  based  on  epidemiologic  studies  of  subjects  exposed  to  low  levels  of  an  agent.  Research  has  become  more  rigorous  in  the  area  of  study  design  and  analysis,  and  reports  of  clinical  and  epidemiologic  research  contain  increasing  amounts  of  statistical  methodology.  This  Appendix  provides  a  brief  introduction  to  some  of  the  basic  principles  of  biostatistics  and  epidemiology.
