- Biosurveillance: Detecting, Tracking, and Mitigating the Effects of Natural Disease and BioterrorismFricker, Ronald D. Jr. (Wiley, 2008)Biosurveillance is the regular collection, analysis, and interpretation of health and health-related data for indicators of diseases and other outbreaks by public health organizations. Motivated by the threat of bioterrorism, biosurveillance systems are being developed and implemented around the world. The goal of these systems has been expanded to include both early event detection and situational awareness, so that the focus is not simply on detection, but also on response and consequence management. Whether they are useful for detecting bioterrorism or not, there seems to be consensus that these biosurveillance systems are likely to be useful for detecting and responding to natural disease outbreaks such as seasonal and pandemic flu, and thus they have the potential to significantly advance and modernize the practice of public health surveillance.

- Sampling Methods for Web and E-mail SurveysFricker, Ronald D. Jr. (SAGE, 2012)This chapter is a comprehensive overview of sampling methods for web and e-mail (‘Internetbased’) surveys. It reviews the various types of sampling method – both probability and nonprobability – and examines their applicability to Internet-based surveys. Issues related to Internetbased survey sampling are discussed, including difficulties assembling sampling frames for probability sampling, coverage issues, and nonresponse and selection bias. The implications of the various survey mode choices on statistical inference and analyses are summarized.
