Critical Perspectives in Public Health

Editat de Judith Green, Ronald Labonté
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2007
This book explores the concept of ‘critical’ public health, at a point when many of its core concerns appear to have moved to the mainstream of health policy. Issues such as addressing health inequalities and their socioeconomic determinants, and the inclusion of public voices in policy-making, are now emerging as key policy aims for health systems across Europe and North America.
Combining analytical introductory chapters, edited versions of influential articles from the journal Critical Public Health and specially commissioned review articles, this volume examines the contemporary roles of ‘critical voices’ in public health research and practice from a range of disciplines and contexts. The book covers many of the pressing concerns for public health practitioners and researchers including:
  • the implications of new genetic technologies for public health
  • the impact of globalization on local practice
  • the politics of citizen participation in health programmes
  • the impact of car-centred transport systems on health
  • the ethics of evaluation methods and the persistence of health inequalities.
Critical Perspectives in Public Health is organized into sections covering four key themes in public health: social inequalities; evidence for practice; globalization; technologies and the environment. With contributions from a range of countries including the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia and South Africa, it provides an accessible overview for students, practitioners and researchers in public health, health promotion, health policy and related fields.

Recenzii

‘The introductory sections are excellent—thorough and analytical. The chapters are in the main very readable and thought-provoking, and an encouragement to the development of new and more critical thinking around some well-worn public health topics.’ - European Journal of Public Health
