Product Description

Focusing on diverse partnerships as the framework for public health, this book discusses: the need for a shift from an individual to a population-based approach in practice, research, policy, and community engagement; the status of the governmental public health infrastructure and what needs to be improved, including its interface with the health care delivery system; the roles nongovernment actors; such as academia, business, local communities, and the media, can play in creating a health nation. Providing an accessible analysis, this book will be essential reading to public health policymakers and practitioners, business and community leaders, health advocates, educators, and journalists.
