With Epi Info 2000 and a personal computer, epidemiologists and other public health and medical professionals can rapidly develop a questionnaire or form, customize the data entry process, and enter and analyze data.  Epidemiologic statistics, tables, graphs, and maps are produced with simple commands such as READ, FREQ, LIST, TABLES, GRAPH, and MAP.  Epi Map 2000 displays geographic maps with data from Epi Info 2000. 

A new version, Epi Info 2000 for Windows retains many features of the familiar Epi Info for DOS, while offering Windows ease of use strengths such as point-and-click commands, graphics, fonts, and printing. 

Key Features of Epi Info 2000

  • Maximum compatibility with industry standards, including:
    • Microsoft Access and other SQL and ODBC databases
    • Visual Basic, Version 6 
    • World Wide Web browsers and HTML 
  • Extensibility, so that organizations outside CDC can produce additional modules 
  • Epi Map, an ArcView®-compatible GIS
  • NutStat, a nutrition anthropometry program that calculates percentiles and z-scores using either the 2000 CDC or the 1978 CDC/WHO growth reference
  • Logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis
  • Teaching exercises
  • Entirely new, not just a "port" of Epi Info for DOS
  • Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000 compatible
  • Allows analysis and import of other file types

Planning an Upgrade to Epi Info 2000 from Epi Info 6

  • Logistic Regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis can be used directly with Epi Info 6.xx files
  • Conversion programs are provided for moving data (REC) files from DOS versions of Epi Info to the Windows (MDB) format
