Abstract

The book's major strengths are the discussion of epidemiology in the current social and political climate, including many examples from low- and middleincome countries; a discussion of primordial prevention in addition to the usual primary, secondary, and tertiary; and a broad discussion of population-based and high-risk approaches to prevention and promotion.
