Comment from the Stata technical group:

ActivEpi is an interactive, multimedia introductory epidemiology course. The ActivEpi Companion Textbook is designed to put into print the material from the interactive course. As such, the text can be used as a hardcopy reference, a resource for practical exercises, a general reference, or even a self-contained textbook for a traditional classroom course in introductory epidemiology.

All the topics that are vital to a basic knowledge of epidemiology are present: study designs (including case–control and cohort studies), issues of bias and confounding, the analysis of rates, effect measures, stratified analysis, matching, and controlling for extraneous factors.
