The book is divided into two parts: Part I covers the fundamental components of public health practice in the 21st-century United States, while Part II presents case studies that illustrate public health in action. Together, these sections provide students with a comprehensive understanding of public health as both a system and a social enterprise, equipping them to apply their knowledge to real-world public health challenges, programs, and initiatives.
Offering the latest data, updated tables and new figures, the Eighth Edition also explores current concepts and trends including the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS), Healthy People 2030, and health equity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other key updates include:
- New chapter on Pandemic and All-Hazards Public Health Preparedness emphasizes the critical lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the essential role of public health in safeguarding community health during emergencies.
- Unique public health administration chapters explore managing public health infrastructure and public health programs.
- New case studies on COVID-19, firearms and health, and substance use.
- Revised and expanded Out-of-the-Book Thinking boxes as well as discussion questions to engage students in exploring concepts more deeply.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
