Although environmental health has received some recognition as a field which can positively impact on the social determinants of health it remains little known outside its immediate sphere of influence.

Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Population health has recently grown from a series of loosely connected critiques of twentieth-century public health and medicine into a theoretical framework with a corresponding field of research—population health science. Its approach is to promote the public’s health through improving everyday human life: afford-able nutritious food clean air safe places where children can play living wages etc. It recognizes that addressing contemporary health challenges such as the prevalence of type 2 diabetes will take much more than good hospitals and public health departments. Blending philosophy of science/medicine public health ethics and history this book offers a framework that explains analyses and largely endorses the features that define this relatively new field. Presenting a philosophical perspective Valles helps to clarify what these features are and why they matter including: searching for health’s upstream causes in social life embracing a professional commitment to studying and ameliorating the staggering health inequities in and between populations; and reforming scientific practices to foster humility and respect among the many scientists and non- scientists who must work collaboratively to promote health. Featuring illustrative case studies from around the globe at the end of all main chapters this radical monograph is written to be accessible to all scholars and advanced students who have an interest in health—from public health students to professional philosophers. | Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Population health management is being increasingly adopted by health systems yet the importance of primary health care in influencing population mortality and the mechanisms that explain it are not well understood. Too often primary health care is regarded as a service for minor health problems and for managing access to secondary care. This limited view is no longer tenable and it is time to be much more ambitious about the place of primary health care in health systems worldwide. In delivering and planning health care and in re-building health systems after the pandemic practitioners and policymakers in low- middle- and high-income countries need evidence on how primary health care affects population mortality and practical advice to effect change. Primary Health Care and Population Mortality fulfils this need. Drawing on his long experience as both a practitioner and researcher the author Richard Baker describes how primary health is crucial to the effect of health systems on population mortality including its potential for reducing inequalities in mortality. This accessible new book will provide invaluable information to leaders in service development and delivery academics in primary health care and those working within international organisations that are promoting primary health care for improving population health. It will also be of practical value to general practitioners primary health care nurses and managers and public health staff.
