The Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CSEB), or Société Canadienne d'épidémiologie et de biostatistique (SCEB), was founded in 1990 to promote epidemiology and biostatistics research in Canada; encourage the use of epidemiologic data in formulating public health policy; increase the level of epidemiology and biostatistics funding available through federal, provincial, and private sources; facilitate communications among epidemiologists and biostatisticians; and assist faculty or schools of medicine and public health to improve training in epidemiology and biostatistics.
