Abstract:
Forensic pathologists have made great contributions to epidemiologic research and will undoubtedly continue to do so by providing information that can help to describe, explain, predict, and control the occurrence of specific disorders. Greater funding is needed, however, to realize the potential applications of forensic pathology to epidemiologic research. Public health officials have only recently recognized what forensic pathologists have known for a long time and what Hirsch has recently stated: the public health aspects of forensic pathology, which include epidemiologic research, exemplify "forensic pathology at its best."
