9780195143768: Evidence-Based Public Health

Synopsis

Public health decisions are often based on short-term demands rather than long-term study, and policies and programs are sometimes developed from anecdotal evidence. To enhance evidence-based practice, this book provides practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings.

Review

The book serves a valuable purpose in making a good deal of useful overview material available in one volume . . . I should be happy to add this text to my bookshelf and bring it to the attention of others grappling with the notion and practicalities of evidence-based public health. (Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 34)
