Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health

Edited by Sridhar Venkatapuram and Alex Broadbent, this first-of-its-kind handbook brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of authors to answer questions like:

• What is public health?
• What should public health be or become?
• How do causal concepts shape the public health agenda?
• How do study designs either promote or demote the environmental causal factors or health inequalities?
• How is risk understood, expressed, and communicated?
• Who is public health research centered on?
• How can we develop technologies so the benefits are more fairly distributed? Do people have a right to public health?
• How should we integrate ethics into public health practice?

The book can be downloaded as an ebook or ordered here:
