Synopsis

"The Oxford Textbook of Public Health, 4th edition" encapsulates the complex, dynamic field of public health in a single accessible volume for the student or practitioner. In three comprehensive sections it covers the scope of public health; methods of research, both quantitative and qualitative; and the practical applications of public health principles. The textbook discusses new challenges to public health such as re-emerging infectious diseases, globalization, and social inequalities in health. It considers public health in relation to human rights and ethics and tackles such difficult issues as: prioritizing disparate public health problems; identifying and implementing cost effective strategies; and the need for a comprehensive rather than an issue- or disease- oriented approach for the resolution of public health problems. This fourth edition provides a clear international perspective on health policy, including more coverage of issues of relevance to developing countries and presenting the perspective of public leaders including the former Director General of the World Health Organization on strategies to resolve existing and anticipated global health problems.
