Full Description
The first textbook on public health intelligence presents in
depth the key concepts, methods, and objectives of this increasingly important
competency. It systematically reviews types of evidence and data that comprise

The book's learner-centered approach gives readers interactive context for
mastering the processes of gathering and working with intelligence as well as
its uses in informing public health decision-making. And its pragmatic
framework will help establish standards for training, practice, and policy,
leading to continued improvements in population health.
