Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics

The Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CSEB), or Société Canadienne d'épidémiologie et de biostatistique (SCEB), was founded in 1990 to promote epidemiology and biostatistics research in Canada; encourage the use of epidemiologic data in formulating public health policy; increase the level of epidemiology and biostatistics funding available through federal, provincial, and private sources; facilitate communications among epidemiologists and biostatisticians; and assist faculty or schools of medicine and public health to improve training in epidemiology and biostatistics.
