This Open Access book illustrates the power of stories to
illuminate ethical concerns that arise in public health. It
complements epidemiological or surveillance evidence, and reveals
stakeholder perspectives crucial for public health practitioners to
develop effective and ethical public health interventions. Because
it relies on the natural and universal appeal of stories, the book
also serves to introduce the field of public health to students
considering a career in public health. The opening section of the
book also serves as a more didactic introduction to public health
ethics and the field of narrative ethics. It describes the field of
public health ethics including ethical principles relevant to
public health practice and research, and the advantages of a
narrative ethics approach. That approach explores the problems and
the ethical challenges of public health from the inside, from the
perspective of those experiencing health problems to the challenges
of those who must address these problems. The later sections
consist of 14 chapters that present the actual stories of these
public health problems and challenges. In narrative style they
range from first person narratives of both practitioners and
citizens, to analysis of published short stories. The problems and
challenges they address include issues relating to justice
concerns, surveillance and stigma, community values and the value
of community, trust and the value of information, and freedom and
responsibility. Specific public health topics include resource
allocation, restricting liberty to protect the community from
health threats, and the health impact of trauma, addiction, obesity
and health disparities.
