Vaccinating Britain
Author: Gareth Millward
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 152612677X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Vaccinating Britain shows how the British public has played a central role in the development of vaccination policy since the Second World War. It explores the relationship between the public and public health through five key vaccines – diphtheria, smallpox, poliomyelitis, whooping cough and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). It reveals that while the British public has embraced vaccination as a safe, effective and cost-efficient form of preventative medicine, demand for vaccination and trust in the authorities that provide it has ebbed and flowed according to historical circumstances. It is the first book to offer a long-term perspective on vaccination across different vaccine types. This history provides context for students and researchers interested in present-day controversies surrounding public health immunisation programmes. Historians of the post-war British welfare state will find valuable insight into changing public attitudes towards institutions of government and vice versa.

Statistics in Public Health
Author: Donna F. Stroup Ph.D, M.Sc.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780199771332
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Public health strives to improve the health of human populations, and prevent disease, disability, and death. Statistics--the science of finding underlying patterns by analyzing variability and errors in collected data--is essential to the understanding of disease patterns in human populations. Other quantitative methods, such as economics, decision theory, and mathematics, now constitute integral parts of the scientific basis for priority-setting and evaluation in public health. This book provides a broad conceptual treatment of the statistical issues underlying core public health functions: outbreak investigations, policy development, economic and program evaluation, managed care, and program operations. The theoretical analysis is illustrated with examples from public health practice. For readers interested in a more detailed treatment, there are extensive references to specialized publications. The authors present a series of quantitative approaches that significantly help public health professionals solve the problems they confront in their day-to-day work. Unlike traditional how-to books in statistics, this volume starts with an overview of the range of problems encountered in public health practice, and then presents methods for facilitating decision making. Statistics in Public Health: Quantitative Approaches to Public Health Problems will serve as a comprehensive desk reference for public health practitioners and as a teaching text for students of public health.

There are contributions from a large number of experts, organizations and institutions. This new edition has seven modules. Several new vaccines that have become more readily available and used in recent years have been added. Also the section on integration with other health interventions has been expanded as exciting opportunities and experiences have become evident in the years following the previous edition. Module 1: Target diseases and vaccines Module 2: The vaccine cold chain Module 3: Ensuring safe injections Module 4: Microplanning for reaching every community Module 5: Managing an immunization session Module 6: Monitoring and surveillance Module 7: Partnering with communities.
