Hi,
Does anybody know what book is good for Behavioral science apart from Kaplan,
what is everybody's view about --
1)Appleton and Lange's Review of Epidemiology and Biostatistics for the USMLE by Edward J. Hanrahan and Gangadhar madupu
2)BRS Behavioral
You see the most difficuilt topic is - Epidemilogy and Statistics,
So do you all think we should review more than one book to get a good hold on this topic.
one reason i am asking this is , these cost , and i already have kaplan.
Is it worth buying any of the above apart from kaplan
Would appreciate everybodys input
Thanks

BRS BS by Fadem is good, but not for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, same about High-Yield BS by the same author - Epidemiology and Biostatistics are worst chapters in her books. Otherwise BRS is better than High-Yield - much more complete, with good MCQs, and it's newer - BRS - 2004, High-Yield - 2001.
For Epidemiology and Biostatistics I recommend High-Yield Biostatistics, by Glaser, 2004, 104p. it also includes epidemiology.
Appleton and Lange's Review of Epidemiology and Biostatistics for the USMLE by Hanrahan, 1994, 109p. is also good, but I think very outdated - you know, Epidemiology and Biostatistics aren't changing, but definition of how much of them is presented on step 1 and which topics are presented more and which topics - less, is changing and evolving continuously.
If you can afford, buy both of them - if not - get only High-Yield Biostatistics.
