"Key Themes in Public Health consists of introductory short essays exploring fifty key themes and concepts in public health. Ranging from political and economic concern with improving population health and reducing health inequalities, to debates about how to protect the population from new health threats, as well as a concern with individual responsibility for lifestyles and behaviour, the themes discussed include: determinants of health; globalisation; evidence; risk and population. Presenting provocative ways of thinking about key ideas in a concise fashion, each essay provides a basic grounding in the relevant theme as well as a departure point for further study by: Defining the theme in an accessible way, Illustrating its application and significance in the field, Identifying and exploring issues surrounding each of the themes, Providing several references for further reading. This text provides an accessible overview for students new to public health who want to get to grips with the full range and complexity of this diverse and multidisciplinary field"--Provided by publisher.

This comparative social analysis represents the results of the "West European Study of Health (WESH)". It is one of a few systematically comparative social science analyses of such national health systems as Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. Based on a total of 2500 cases the project analyses problems like health culture, social stratification in its impact on health, health life style and the motivations of people that shape health policies. This book meets both the expectation of descriptive information as well as comprehensive analysis by statistical means and on the background of practical as well as theoretical concerns. The policy implications of the results are eminent. The comparative design is of exemplary importance for health and social science. The book is of interest for public health, health professionals, health policymakers, psychologists, social scientists and political representatives from the community up to the European level.Aus dem Inhalt:Statement and Significance of the Problem: Theoretical, Historical Context and Comparative Methodology * Organization, Present problems and Efficiency of West European Health Care Systems * WESH - Method, Fieldwork, and Selected Indicators of the Study * A Descriptive Overview Concerning Results for Health Behavior in the 5-Nation-Study of WESH * Health Culture in Europe - an Exploration of National and Social Differences in Health-Related Values * Health and Social Stratification * Health Life-Style and Social Stratification * Public and Private Responsibility for Health: A Comparative Analysis towards Financing and the Right for Health Care * From Utilization to Evaluation * Euregional Health Culture: An Exploration

"In 1895, after enduring two previous cholera epidemics and facing horrific hygienic conditions and the fear of another epidemic, officials in the Argentine province of Tucumán described their home as the "Poisoned Eden," a play on its official title, "Garden of the Republic." Cholera elicited fear and panic in the nineteenth century, and although the disease never had the demographic impact of tuberculosis, malaria, or influenza, cholera was a source of consternation that often illuminated dormant social problems. In Poisoned Eden Carlos S. Dimas analyzes the social, political, and cultural effects of three epidemics, in 1868, 1886, and 1895, that shook the northwestern province of Tucumán to understand the role of public health in building the Argentine state in the late nineteenth century. Through a reading of medical and ethnographic material, Dimas shows that cholera became intertwined in all areas of the social fabric and that tucumanos of all classes created public health services that expanded the state's presence in the interior. In each outbreak, provincial powers contended with how to ensure the province's autonomy while simultaneously meeting the needs of the state to eradicate cholera. Centering disease, Poisoned Eden demonstrates how public health and debates on cholera's contagion became a central concern of the nineteenth-century Latin American state and promoted national cohesion. "-- ""Poisoned Eden" analyzes the social, political, and cultural effects of three cholera epidemics that shook the northwestern province of Tucumán, Argentina, and the role of public health in building the Argentine state in the late nineteenth century"--
