Schneider's Introduction to Public Health

Offering a thorough, accessible and lively overview of public health for students new to the field, Schneider's Introduction to Public Health offers a broad-reaching, practical framework for understanding the forces and organizations of public health today. Through engaging, nontechnical language, illustrative real-world examples, and the current political, economic, and cultural news of the day, students gain a clear understanding of the scope of today's public health problems and possible solutions. Building on Mary-Jane Schneider's engaging and easy-to-read narrative approach, new author team Kruger, Moralez, and Siqueira draw on their diverse perspectives for the Seventh Edition to bring a greater focus on the social determinants of health, ecological approach, and life course experiences as a framework to understand public health in the 21st century.
