This handbook is designed to assist students and practitioners around the world, for improved management of disasters, epidemics, health behaviour, acute and chronic disease prevention, community and government action, environmental health, vulnerable populations, and more. |
المراجعة التحريرية | This is a useful core text for trainees in that it gives a succinct view on the key public health topics, issues and skills. It is also useful for established specialists... This fills an almost unique gap in the market as a quick guide and handbook to real-life public health practice. * BMA Book Awards 2014. Winner in Public Health category * For whom would I recommend this book? Just about everybody! All practitioners and students of public health without question ... My old copies of this book are scruffy and dog-eared and much loved. I can tell that in time this edition will be, too. * Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health * This fantastic little handbook has had a group of excellent editors over the previous two editions and this third edition sees four well-known and rather different public health advocates and practitioners take over the reins...For whom would I recommend this book? Just about everybody! All practitioners and students of public health without question. * Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health * |
