Applied Public Health Essentials - BSPH, MPH, MSPH, MS - Lectures, Assessment and Application: Public/Population Health Improvement/Optimization

This current book (ebook, paperback, hardcover), which presents the public health core competencies as learning objectives, should serve to remind the faculty at the various schools of public health in the nation of what students are expected to acquire in terms of knowledge, attitudes, and skills prior to joining the public health workforce. To the undergraduate, (BSPH) graduate students (MPH, MSPH, MS) of public health, this book should serve as a companion to the Public Health Core Competencies, Certified in Public Health Review published by the same author. This current publication (Applied Public Health essentials) in public and population health very simply, explains population health risk determinants with specific focus on aberrant epigenomic modulations and social determinants of health (SDH) as well as Environmental Determinants of Health (EDH). Therefore, it is with great optimism that one recommends this book, with the hope that knowledge gained from a simplified and illustrated text of this nature will inform quality performance and evidence-based public health as well as systems thinking in public health program development, conduct, and evaluation.
