The book is divided into two parts: Part I covers the fundamental components of public health practice in the 21st-century United States, while Part II presents case studies that illustrate public health in action. Together, these sections provide students with a comprehensive understanding of public health as both a system and a social enterprise, equipping them to apply their knowledge to real-world public health challenges, programs, and initiatives.
Offering the latest data, updated tables and new figures, the Eighth Edition also explores current concepts and trends including the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS), Healthy People 2030, and health equity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Other key updates include:
- New chapter on Pandemic and All-Hazards Public Health Preparedness emphasizes the critical lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the essential role of public health in safeguarding community health during emergencies.
- Unique public health administration chapters explore managing public health infrastructure and public health programs.
- New case studies on COVID-19, firearms and health, and substance use.
- Revised and expanded Out-of-the-Book Thinking boxes as well as discussion questions to engage students in exploring concepts more deeply.

Store description
About NovusText An online bookstore for academic, professional and university-press books. What we sell NovusText stocks new and used copies of scholarly and professional titles: the textbooks, reference works and university-press editions that are easy to find and hard to afford. The catalogue is organised into 10 subject areas: Medicine & Nursing Science & Mathematics Engineering & Computing Business & Economics History & Biography Art, Architecture & Design Literature & Language Philosophy & Religion Social Sciences & Politics Law & Education How the store works We buy and hold the stock ourselves, so what you see is what we can ship — a book marked in stock is a book on the shelf, and one that sells out disappears from the catalogue rather than sitting there as a back-order. Prices and availability come straight from our own inventory, refreshed throughout the day. Book details — publisher, publication date, page count, dimensions and cover — are fetched from bibliographic data providers and stored on our side, so the pages load from our own database rather than calling out to someone else while you read them. A very new or unusual ISBN occasionally arrives before its metadata does; the listing still ships normally.…
