Population Health Science

Bringing together theories and methods from diverse fields, this text provides grounding in the factors that shape population health. The overall approach is one of consequentialist science: designing creative studies that identify causal factors in health with multidisciplinary rigor.

Distilled into nine foundational principles, this book guides readers through population science studies that strategically incorporate:

- macrosocial factors
- multilevel, lifecourse, and systems theories
- prevention science fundamentals
- return on investment
- equity and efficiency

Harnessing the power of scientific inquiry and codifying the knowledge base for a burgeoning field, POPULATION HEALTH SCIENCE arms readers with tools to shift the curve of population health.
