Public Health Practice in Australia offers a thorough introduction
to what public health practitioners do, and the 'effort' involved
in improving the health of the public. This second edition has been
fully revised and updated in line with current policies and
practice. It highlights common threads that underlie seemingly
disparate activities, ideas and entities that comprise the
organised effort of public health practice. The emphasis is on
securing and maintaining the conditions in society that enable
people to live healthy and fulfilling lives. The authors examine
the impact of historical, social, economic, environmental and
political factors on the health of individuals, communities and
populations. Taking an applied, multidisciplinary approach, they
outline the strategies and tools that public health practitioners
use to improve health outcomes: identifying infrastructure needs in
the workforce, public and private sector organisations, and in
regulation; gathering, analysing and using health data; applying
interventions in health policy, provision of health services and
health promotion. Public Health Practice in Australia draws on
current international and Australian research and the interwoven
case studies make the theories and concepts come alive. It is a
valuable resource for students and professionals across the health
sciences including public health, medicine, environmental health,
health promotion, health information management and health
administration. 'The book is impressive in the completeness,
clarity and consistency of the material covered, and for the way in
which many of the theoretical issues are related to current
practice. An extremely useful and valuable reference for both
students and practitioners alike.' - Thomas Tenkate, Environmental
Health
