Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the study of “who, when, where and why” diseases (or health) occur in a population. In equine research, the results of an epidemiological study are used to guide and evaluate methods to prevent disease or to help manage health and disease in horses and other equines. 

Epidemiology is a fundamental part of evidence-based medicine, a compilation of research and clinical expertise, on which veterinarians rely to provide optimal care to their patients at the herd or individual level.
