The main strategy employed in the science of epidemiology is to evaluate associations (i.e., who, what, where, and when) with disease occurrence in an attempt to identify links with potentially preventable causes. When such associations are identified, they are pursued at increasingly finer levels of resolution in order to get at the underlying mechanisms that may be responsible. The improved resolution that is needed is frequently obtained by applying novel methodologies to the problem. This effort is often hindered, however, by the fact that epidemiologists are almost always trained as generalists. They thereby command a systematic approach to public health problems but rarely are they knowledgeable about the new technologies emerging in more specialized
