1. What exactly is Clinical Epidemiology Research?
This simple and straight to the point definition was taken from this glossary
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health conditions or events among populations and the application of that study to control health problems. Clinical epidemiology uses the information from classical epidemiology to aid decision-making about identified cases of disease.
