Global Public Health provides undergraduate students with a carefully curated selection of readings that introduce them to basic concepts and ideas within the discipline. Opening chapters define public health, discuss the success of public health in eradicating diseases globally, and examine how public health professions approach the measurement of disease. Additional chapters explore global health and human rights, social determinants of health and health disparities, issues related to the environment and global warming, and disease outbreak investigation. Students learn about infectious and non-infectious diseases, maternal mortality and child health, emerging and re-emerging diseases, and health systems and health care reform. The closing chapter discusses ethics in global public health and public health research. Global Public Health is an exemplary introductory textbook for foundational courses in public health and global health. The book can also support certification programs in global health and training programs for community health workers.
