The acclaimed textbook for navigating the practice and challenges
of public health, now updated and completely revised "It should be
recommended or assigned to all students in public health."
-American Journal of Epidemiology The practice of public health
would be easier if all the decisions could just be based on
science. The reality, of course, is that many choices have to
account for short-term demands, meaning that some policies and
programs are rooted in anecdotal evidence or limited resources. In
these circumstances, an evidence-based approach - emphasizing
available data and analytics while leveraging individual skills and
an optimized organizational climate - is a public health
practitioner's best tool for effective decision making. This fully
revised and updated edition Evidence-Based Public Health offers an
essential primer on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate
evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It
addresses not only how to locate and utilize scientific evidence,
but also how to implement and evaluate interventions in a way that
generates new evidence. Practical topics covered in this light
include: * conducting community assessment * developing an initial
statement of issue (and quantifying it) * using scientific
literature and systematic reviews * creating an action plan and
implementing interventions * evaluating programs and policies An
indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers
in the public health sciences and preventive medicine, this newly
updated edition of the classic textbook empowers readers to
identify and apply the most compelling evidence available.
