Community and Population
Health,
|
Publisher's Announcement:
Now in its eighth successful edition, this respected text bears a new name. Reflecting the
recent emergence of population health in the community health field, Community and
Population Health represents the concept that many populations of concern in
health programs are not defined solely by geographic location. |
This edition provides students with
comprehensive understanding of health in communities and
populations. Information on health strategies --preventive medicine, public health, school
health,
and self-care--provides students with a broad perspective on health issues and ways to
resolve
them, including issues unresolved of child abuse, HIV-AIDS, drug abuse, and alcoholism.
In the pages
that follow, new information appearing in the scientific literature and in the popular
press since the
8th edition went to press is included.
Links below include parts of the Instructor's Manual material, supplementary news, websites, new references and late-breaking events for each chapter since publication of the 8th edition, and are updated periodically.
