This report addresses the question of giving scientific advice under uncertainties, in complex situations and often at short notice. Targeted at policymakers and public health professionals, the report explores how the best methods of classical epidemiology can be matched and possibly merged with the methodologies developed in evidence-based medicine (EBM) to give a new blend, an evidence-based methodology for infectious disease prevention and control.
