  • "Using a straightforward systems approach, this book explores the inner workings of the complex, modern U.S. public health system--what it is, what it does, how it works, and why it is important. The book covers the origins and development of the modern pubic health system; the relationship of public health to the overall health system; how the system is organized at the federal, state, and local levels; its core functions and how well these are currently being addressed; evidence-based practice and an approach to program planning and evaluation for public health interventions; public health activities such as epidemiological investigation, biomedical research, environmental assessment, policy development, and more."
  • "This book is a straight forward introduction to the complex, multidimensional field of public health and how it functions in modern day America. Introduces a unifying conceptual model characterizing public health by its missions, functions, capacity, process, and outcomes. The edition includes Health People 2010 objectives, case studies, achievements of the 20th century, and a resource site on the Internet."
  • ""The Second Edition of this popular text brings clarity and insight to the study of a complex and multidimensional field. The author introduces a unifying conceptual model that characterizes public health by its missions, functions, capacity, processes, and outcomes"--Back cover."
