Public Health in East and Southeast Asia presents an overview of
the state of public health across this vast region and considers
the challenges and prospects for its future advancement. It pays
particular attention to how rapid economic progress has brought
accelerated change, both demographic and epidemiological, to an
area already marked by great heterogeneity in health status and
public health systems. In comparative and thematically oriented
chapters, leading scholars consider such issues as changes in
values and lifestyles, infectious diseases, nutrition, tobacco,
chronic diseases, accidents and injury, environmental health,
occupational health, the effect of globalization, and health
services.
The Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health is the ultimate
resource on the subject of public health and epidemiology. It
offers a global and comprehensive perspective on wide-ranging
public health needs and priorities in modern health care.
Thoroughly revised and updated for the seventh edition, the book is
split into three main topics. 'The Scope of Public Health' covers
the development of the discipline, determinants of health and
disease, and policies, law, and ethics. The second volume focuses
on The Methods of Public Health, including the science of
epidemiology, social science techniques, and environmental
techniques. Finally, The Practice of Public Health is fully
explored, with sections on specific public health problems, ways of
prevention and control, the varying needs of different populations,
and the functions of public health services and professionals.
Three new editors have joined for this edition, Liming Li (China),
Fran Baum (Australia), and Alastair H Leyland (UK), complimenting
Quarraisha Abdool Karim (South Africa) and Roger Detels (USA), for
a truly global perspective on public health. Featuring over 225
contributors from countries all over the world ensures that the
book covers public health from all aspects, with vastly different
health systems and priorities. Featuring new chapters on gender
identity and gender-based violence, environmental health and
climate change, genomics and epidemiology, and emerging and
re-emerging infectious diseases, the seventh edition of the Oxford
Textbook of Global Public Health remains the most comprehensive
text on the subject and is a vital resource for public health
practitioners and trainees, clinical epidemiologists, and students
in the field.
