Recenzje

"As someone previously unaware that there was a field of legal epidemiology, I was intrigued. As I examined the book's chapters, I became increasingly aware of the value and potential future contributions of the field. For public health professionals of all stripes, this book will, at a minimum, enrich the life of the mind. For some, it will directly broaden and deepen their own work."Kenneth E. Warner, PhD, Avedis Donabedian Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and Dean Emeritus, University of Michigan School of Public Health"The second edition of Legal Epidemiology: Theory and Methods fills a critical niche for public health education and research. Laws shape our health and daily lives in profound ways--by blending law, epidemiology, and other scholarly disciplines and methods, the editors have assembled an insightful group of chapters. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested addressing population health and inequities in health." Ross C. Brownson, PhD Lipstein Distinguished Professor of Public Health Washington University in St. Louis"The second edition of Legal Epidemiology: Theory and Methods fills a critical niche for public health education and research.
