Summary
Epi Info 6 is a series of microcomputer programs for handling
epidemiologic data in questionnaire format and for organizing
study designs and results into text that may form part of
written reports. A questionnaire can be set up and processed in
a few minutes, but Epi Info also can form the basis for a
powerful disease surveillance system database with many ... files
and record types. It includes features used by epidemiologists
in statistical programs, such as SAS or SPSS, and database
programs like dBASE. Unlike commercial programs, however, Epi
Info may be freely copied and given to friends and colleagues.

Epi Info 6 allows rapid setup of new entry forms and data files,
easily customized data entry, and many data management and
analysis techniques. Epi Map 2 displays counts or rates on
geographic maps supplied or drawn on the screen. Colors,
shading, dots, or noncontiguous cartograms can be used to show
any type of numeric data related to map boundaries. Do Epi is a
series of educational studies and computer exercises designed to
teach both epidemiology and the use of Epi Info. An instructor's
module is included.
