This book explores the meaning of the ‘new’ public health within current debates, and the policy changes that are reshaping the context for public health. It moves away from public health medicine to a multi-disciplinary approach to public health concerns. This book asks:
- Why is a multidisciplinary approach to public health important and where is its future?
- What is the nature of the new multidisciplinary public health?
- How can multidisciplinary public health professionals move towards an evidence-informed public health practice?
With analysis and reflection upon public health history theories, research and practice, Public Health for the 21st Century engages advanced undergraduate and graduate students, trainees and professionals across a broad range of disciplines.
