Globalization and Health: Challenges for Health Law and Bioethics - Belinda Bennett, George F. Tomossy
ISBN/ISSN: 9781402041969
This timely collection explores ethical and legal dilemmas in healthcare arising from globalization. Conflicts between public interests and individual rights, the challenge of regulating professionals and access to health services, and the effects of a global market all feature prominently in contemporary debates in this area. As a result of globalization, issues in health law and bioethics can no longer be understood solely within political boundaries that define traditional notions of individuals and communities.
Needs Assessment in Public Health: A Practical Guide for Students and Professionals - Donna J. Petersen, Greg R. Alexander
ISBN/ISSN: 9780306476105
This text follows the typical sequence of an actual needs assessment process. Case studies are used to illustrate conceptualization of the task through the application of needs-based data to effective public health solutions. Examples are drawn from myriad public health efforts, recognizing that not all public health sector agencies bear direct responsibility for all activities that could be considered part of public health. This volume has been designed to serve both students and practitioners interested in improving their understanding and skills in the area of needs assessment.
