Publisher Comments:
This book is a straightforward introduction to the complex, multidimensional field of public health and how it functions in modern day America.
Book News Annotation:
Turnock (community health sciences, University of Illinois-Chicago)
introduces a unifying conceptual model that characterizes public
health by its missions, functions, capacity, processes, and outcomes.
He outlines the origins and development of public health, examines
the infrastructure of the public health system, and discusses public
health activities such as epidemiological investigation, biomedical
research, environmental assessment, and policy development. Learning
features include discussion questions and exercises. This third
edition contains a new chapter on emergency preparedness and response.
