Overview

Public health is the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of populations through organized, society-wide efforts rather than individual clinical care. It encompasses disease prevention, health promotion, surveillance, environmental and occupational health, and the development of policies and programs that address the social, economic, behavioral, and environmental determinants of health. Grounded in epidemiology and supported by health-systems and policy analysis, public health aims to reduce health inequities and ensure equitable access to the conditions and services needed for health across the life course. The peer-reviewed research in this area examines public-health challenges and interventions across communities, including community prevention and safety training, the impact of climate change on public health, data quality in public-health facilities, partnerships between public-health functions within health and social services, knowledge and practices concerning cardiovascular disease, disclosure of HIV status among children receiving treatment, the public-health risk of e-cigarette use and oropharyngeal cancer, the vector potential of Aedes albopictus, the effects of aflatoxins in milk on public health, and the control of waterborne disease vectors. Recurring themes include disease prevention and surveillance, the environmental and occupational determinants of health, health-systems and data-quality strengthening, the integration of public-health functions within services, and the design and evaluation of community-level interventions to address infectious, chronic, and environmental health threats across diverse populations.
