This text provides students a foundation in public health
practice and management, focusing on developing the knowledge and

management skills, covering areas such as politics, workforce,
partnership and collaboration, change management, outcomes
orientation, opportunities for improvement, health equity, and
future challenges. Case studies highlight innovations in health
education, working with people with disabilities, partnerships in
response to disease outbreaks, and health programs. Learning
objectives, chapter summaries, key terms, and discussion questions
