Experimental Epidemiology

Experimental epidemiology is a type of epidemiology that uses an experimental model to confirm a causal association shown by observational studies. It is concerned with the links between numerous factors in affecting the prevalence and distribution of diseases in a society. In experimental epidemiology, there are three case types: randomised controlled trials, which are used to test new medicines or drugs; field trials, which are conducted on people who are at high risk of contracting a disease; and community trials, which are conducted on an entire community or neighbourhood. The former determines the efficacy of a certain treatment, whilst other studies may be used as a preventive measure.
