Produktbeschreibung

Three Facets of Public Health and Paths to Improvements provides an overview on how specific indicators like the environment, culture and behavior play a role in developing improved outcomes for public health in local, regional, national and global health policy and concerns. Divided into three sections, the book examines the impact of the environment and social determinants on public health. It also illustrates the interrelation of these facets as predictors of public health, explores their institutional, organizational and individual impacts, and considers the way multiple stakeholders must engage to improve conditions that impact health.

The book utilizes various research methods, including fundamental, systematics, qualitative and quantitative. Readers can use the information to inform future research and better understand an existing health problem and outcomes.

Rezensionen

"I find this book less useful for most audiences than other introductory public health textbooks that provide a more cohesive overall organization and a more representative selection of topics (i.e., including both infectious and non-infectious disease risk, prevention, and treatment)." --© Doody's Review Service, 2021, Trude Bennett, MSW, MPH, DrPH, reviewer, expert opinion
