This book was released on 2007 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there have been numerous burden of disease studies over the past decade in developed countries, including several in Australia, the framework and tools have never before been applied to measure disease burden in Indigenous populations apart from a pilot study in the Northern Territory, although the need for such evidence to guide policies and programs is clear. Given the uncertain quality of many data sources on Indigenous health, and the lack of comprehensive information about the comparative importance of various diseases and injuries, it has been difficult to appreciate the complete set of priorities for Indigenous health development. This report responds to that need by providing the first ever burden of disease and injury estimates for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of Australia by leading experts in the field. Detailed estimates are provided of the comparative importance of over 170 diseases and injuries for the health of Indigenous Australians, and in doing so, this report fills an important gap in the evidence base for Indigenous Australian health policy.

Download or read book Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health written by Roger Detels and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 4326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health is the ultimate resource on the subject of public health and epidemiology. The sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, offering a global and comprehensive perspective on wide ranging public health needs and priorities in modern health care. The sixth edition retains its approach of dividing the complex, dynamic subject of public health into three topics. 'The Scope of Public Health' discusses the development of the discipline, determinants of health and disease, public health policies, and law and ethics. Next, the textbook focuses on 'The Methods of Public Health', including the main science behind the discipline - epidemiology. Finally, 'The Practice of Public Health', examines specific public health problems and the options for prevention and control. As well as identifying these issues by system or disease, there is also an awareness of the unique needs of particular population groups. New topics in this edition include: Climate change, genetic testing and epidemiology; new methods for measuring the burden of disease; life course approaches to epidemiology, behavioural economics; and physical activity, health and wellbeing. Two new editors, Quarraisha Abdool Karim (South Africa) and Chorh Chuan Tan (Singapore), join the established editor team of Roger Detels (USA), and Martin Gulliford (UK), representing a truly global outlook. The contributors are experts who have been drawn from around the world, offering perspectives from vastly different health systems with ranging public health needs and priorities. The Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health remains the most comprehensive, accessible text in the field, and is an essential reference for students and practitioners in public health and epidemiology.
