This book is easy to read and provides an up to date guide to the priciples of public health. The case studies are particularly beneficial in applying theory to practice.
An excellent book which clearly identifies contemporary issues in public health. I have found this book to be invaluable in preparing for and delivering sessions on public health to undergraduate nursing students.
'A must book for undergraduate public health students and tutors'
The book will be recommended to our students, undertaking the health needs assessment course, as supplementary reading. Students who are new to the field of public health practice will benefit from reading the book as an introduction to the key concepts underpinning public health.
This has proved useful for all students. A key background text which provides a broad overview of the multiple complexities of delivering and understanding public health and health promotion.
Will advice studnets to use as supplementary core text , have used it to support undergraduate dissertation students and MSC postgraduate students.
