This text is not at all exhaustive. As the title indicates, it is a study guide only. I used this (required) "guide" for a graduate level nursing course in epidemiology and health promotion, but I think this book is geared more towards MPH courses, not MSN courses. It was somewhat helpful, but there is an assumption that the reader has a solid understanding of statistics and has previously read about epidemiology. Also, one would think there was an accompanying (main) text to go along with this "guide." Well, there is not. This is the main text, which makes it even more inappropriate for someone who is not majoring in epidemiology or biostatistics. So, don't expect this book to "guide" you through learning how to do biostatistics or epidemiology. You should have previous instruction in those areas or have a good instructor who will fill in the gaps for you.
