Public health ethics is a discipline concerned with the health of the public or a population as a whole, rather than focusing on the individual. This book introduces a number of this new field\'s central concepts and explores the key and controversial issues arising. Topics covered include the nature of public health ethics, the concepts of disease and prevention, risk and precaution, health inequalities and justice, screening, vaccination and disease control, smoking and issues relating to the environment and public health. With insightful contributions from leading experts, Public Health Ethics presents thought-provoking reviews of these topics, at the same time as encouraging and identifying areas for future discussion in this emerging discipline. This is a valuable addition to the library of anyone working in the fields of public health, health policy, ethics, philosophy and social science. Thisbook looks at health policy through the lens of public versus private: population health versus thesomatic, social, or emotional experiencesof apatient. Rather than presenting policy/ethics as overly technical, thisbook takes a novel approach of framing public and private health in terms of political philosophy, ethics, and popular examples. Each chapter ties back to the general ethics or political literature as applicable, which are not customarily parts of the current public health curriculum.The author\'swork on the Orgcomplexity blog has touched on this subject by systemically exploring public policy issues, and thetone of this bookmimics theblog with an extension of the arguments. As Threats Of Infectious Disease Grow And The Nation Confronts Chronic Health Problems Such As Diabetes And Obesity, Health Professionals, Citizens, And Community Stakeholders Must Address Increasingly Complex Ethical Conflicts About Public Health Policies And Practices. Essentials Of Public Health Ethics Introduces Students To The Field Of Public Health Ethics, By Focusing On Cases. Topics Span The Discipline Of Public Health And Integrate Materials, Concepts, And Frameworks From Numerous Fields In Public Health, Such As Health Promotion, Environmental Health And Health Policy. By Delving Into Both Historical And Contemporary Cases, Including International Cases, The Authors Investigate The Evolution And Impact Of Various Understandings Of The Concept Of The Public Over Time, I.E., The Public Not Only As A Numerical Population That Can Be Defined And Measured, But Also As A Political Group With Legally Defined Obligations And Relationships, As Well As Diverse Cultural And Moral Understandings. While The Text Examines A Range Of Philosophical Theories And Contemporary Perspectives, It Is Written In A Way That Presupposes No Previous Exposure To The Philosophical Concepts But At The Same Time Provides Challenging Cases For Students Who Do Have More Advanced Knowledge. Thus The Book Should Be Useful In Schools And Programs In Public Health As Well As For Undergraduate Public Health Courses In Liberal Arts Institutions And For Health Sciences Students At The Advanced Undergraduate And Graduate Levels.
