1985年首次出版的《歐洲流行病學雜志》是關于傳染病和非傳染病及其控制的流行病學的論壇。流行病學研究的結果是在公共衛生政策領域采取行動的基本論據，并努力使該雜志引起決策者的“注意”。該雜志也是那些積極從事流行病學教學的人的資料來源。該雜志涵蓋流行病學的不同領域，這是一門本質上一直是多學科的科學:鼓勵來自公共衛生規劃和控制、經濟、預防醫學、臨床試驗、疫苗學、心理學、分子生物學、數學模型化和計算機科學等領域的貢獻。

European Journal of Epidemiology, published for the first time in 1985, serves as a forum on the epidemiology of communicable and non-communicable diseases and their control. The results of epidemiologic studies are essential arguments for action in the field of public health policies and efforts are made to bring the journal to the decision makers'' attention. The journal is also a source of material for those who are actively engaged in teaching epidemiology. The journal covers the different fields of epidemiology, a science which has always been multidisciplinary by nature: contributions are encouraged from the fields of public health planning and control, economy, preventive medicine, clinical trials, vaccinology, psychology, molecular biology, mathematical modelization and computer sciences.
