This mailbase list has been set up by David Parkin and Martin White, Senior Lecturers in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Its purpose is to provide an electronic discussion forum and information resource for people working in epidemiology and public health, primarily in the academic community. Depending on the level of usage of this list and on demand, sub-lists may be set up in the future for special interests or particular types of information.
Discussion lists are entirely dependent on contributors for their success.
We therefore strongly encourage all participants to use the list if possible rather than simply being recipients. We would very much welcome comments on the running of this list, and suggestions for improvements. An extra feature of the public-health list is a register of research interests which will be maintained as an associated file. If you wish to be included in this register, please send an email message to Martin.
