Definition
- Originally founded in 1954 as the International Corresponding Club, the International Epidemiological Association (IEA) seeks to facilitate communication among those engaged in research and teaching in epidemiology throughout the world, and to engage in the development and use of epidemiological methods in all fields of health including social, community and preventive medicine and health services administration. These aims are accomplished by holding scientific meetings and seminars, by the publication of journals, reports, monographs, transactions or books, by contact among members, and by other activities consistent with these aims.
