The third edition of Public Health Practice in Australia has been written as the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are starting to be fully understood.
The book takes a systems approach to public health, examining the impact of historical, social, economic, environmental, and political factors on the health of individuals, communities, and populations. Linking theoretical issues to contemporary practice, it highlights common threads that underlie seemingly disparate activities, ideas, and entities that comprise the organised effort of public health practice. As well as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the health inequalities that it has highlighted, the new edition also emphasizes the importance of ecological health and the impact of climate change on public health.
Timely and comprehensive, and including case studies throughout to bring key concepts to life, this is an invaluable resource for students and professionals across the health sciences, including public health, medicine, environmental health, health promotion, health information management, and health administration.
