Having last year published Up from Clinical Epidemiology & EBM and also Epidemiological Research: Terms and Concepts, Miettinen now this time with collaboration from his junior colleague I. Karp brings out this further introduction into epidemiological research; and he is now working on an introduction into clinical research, for publication next year. It evidently is Miettinens felt time to crystallize the basic understandings he has come to as the culmination of a halfcentury of concentrated effort to advance the theory of epidemiological and metaepidemiological clinical research.In accord with its title, this book focuses on research to develop the knowledgebase for preventive medicine, which mainly is knowledge about the causal origin etilogy, etiogenesis of illness. It first illustrates how wanting this knowledge still is, despite much research; and it then aims to guide the reader to more productive etiogenetic research.This book places much emphasis on the need to assure relevance by principlesguided objects design for the studies, which now remains conspicuously absent from epidemiologists concerns. And as for methods design, this book exposes the fallacies in the stillcommon cohort and casecontrol studies, defines the essentials of all etiogenetic studies, and then addresses the true options for design in this framework of shared essentials.A good deal of attention is also given to the still commonlyheld, very major, twin fallacies that screening for an illness is a preventive intervention, to be studied by randomized trials, and that research on it can imply rational guidelines or recommendations regarding decisions about the screening.While Miettinen already is regarded as the father of modern epidemiology, he now appears to have become the father also of postmodern epidemiology, where epidemiology still means epidemiological research.
