DESCRIPTION
Improving public health requires a multi-disciplinary/multi-professional approach, in order to gain increased control over the determinants of health and wellbeing. In both developed and developing societies, an evidence based approach to public health is of increasing importance. This module gives an insight into a variety of key concepts associated with the complex influences on human health and disease. An epidemiological approach is emphasised and strategies for disease prevention and management critically evaluated. Various modes and means of communication to diverse audiences are examined.
