Global Health 101
Author: Richard SkolnikOVERVIEW
An independent panel rated the earlier edition of Global Health 101 the best global health textbook for undergraduates. Global Health 101, Fourth Edition is a clear, concise, and user-friendly introduction to the most critical issues in global health. It illustrates key themes with an extensive set of case studies, examples, and the latest evidence.
The Fourth Edition is a thorough revision that offers an extensive amount of new and updated information, while maintaining clarity, simplicity, and ease of use for faculty and students. As in previous editions, each chapter covers a major topic in global health, and now includes two new chapters: one on the determinants of health, and another on the burden of disease and risk factors. Additionally, there is a new emphasis on Universal Health Coverage, Intersectoral Approaches, Ethical Priority Setting, and on platforms for solutions to key global health problems. New profiles of key global health actors, including many noteworthy women, have been added to the careers chapter.
