Public health refers to the management and prevention of disease
within a population by promoting healthy behaviors and environments
in an effort to create a higher standard of living. In this
comprehensive volume, editor James W. Holsinger Jr. and an esteemed
group of scholars and practitioners offer a concise overview of
this burgeoning field, emphasizing that the need for effective
services has never been greater. Designed as a supplemental text
for introductory courses in public health practice at the
undergraduate and graduate levels, Contemporary Public Health
provides historical background that contextualizes the current
state of the field and explores the major issues practitioners face
today. It addresses essential topics such as the social and
ecological determinants of health and their impact on practice,
marginalized populations, the role of community-oriented primary
care, the importance of services and systems research,
accreditation, and the organizational landscape of the American
public health system. Finally, it examines international public
health and explores the potential of systems based on multilevel
partnerships of government, academic, and nonprofit organizations.
With fresh historical and methodological analyses conducted by an
impressive group of distinguished authors, this text is an
essential resource for practitioners, health advocates, and
students.
