Review

From a review of the previous edition:

`The editors of the Oxford handbook of Public Health Practice have achieved their aim. It is excellent value for money and is essential reading for new trainees and experienced practitioners of Public Health medicine alike... It must have become the must have public health book of the year... my congratulations on a superb book.' Public Health

Book Description

This is a practical public health book - written by public health practitioners for public health practitioners. It introduces learning practitioners to the early phases of approaching a public health issue, details why an issue is important and exactly how it can be analysed and addressed. It deals not only with the technical issues, but crucially with how those technical issues can be implemented in order to improve the health of the population directly, or via one of many important causal pathways (quality of health care design and delivery). It is written by experienced, internationally known practitioners of public health.

Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Old but still a key reference, July 12 2010

By Susanatoye "stoye" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice (Paperback)

I bought this during my MPH a few years ago - I was too cheap to get the most up to date version. And frankly, other than my econs and stats textbooks, this is the only reference text I have AND use. Definitely a must for any public health specialist and serves as my lexikon for when I am in need of a quick definition and/or things past studied and in need of some refreshing.
