内容説明
Public health surveillance is the systematic, ongoing assessment of the health of a community, based on the collection, interpretation, and use of health data. Surveillance provides information necessary for public health decision making and interventions. In the third edition of Principles and Practice of Public Health Surveillance, the editors present an organized approach to planning, developing, and implementing public health surveillance systems in response to the rapidly changing field of public health. Substantially revised and expanded on, this edition continues to examine further the expansion of surveillance of disease and health determinants, as well as the recent advances in data management and informatics. Major sections of the book focus on bioresponse and preparedness, risk behaviors, and environmental exposure, while the ethical considerations and policy justification for public health surveillance are also explored. Drawing largely from the experience of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts in the field, this book provides an excellent framework that collectively improves the surveillance foundation of public health. It will continue to serve as the standard text in the field, an invaluable resource for public health students and the desk reference for public health practitioners.
Book Description
Public health surveillance is the systematic, ongoing assessment of the health of a community, and it is crucial to public health practice. Surveillance provides the information base for public health decision making. There is a constant need for new, updated information, as well as constantly changing priorities within the community. In the past, no single resource has been available to supply a guide to the underlying principles and practice of surveillance. This text fills that gap, providing an organized approach to planning, developing, and implementing public health surveillance systems. It will provide the public health professional and the student of epidemiology in any environment with the theoretical and practical tools necessary to create and implement effective surveillance programs.
