商品簡介
Reporting on the national health infrastructure of the United States, this text examines the purposes, functions, and roles of public health agencies and explores practices that can be implemented in order to improve overall public health outcomes. Setting out to be more comprehensive than a similar report issued in 1988, the volume also discusses a research agenda for public health, addresses the capacity and workforce needed to improve the populations' health, and examines investments by grantmakers for public health improvement.
