Assessment of Population Health Risks of Policies

From the reviews: "Combining public health and policy, this book demonstrates how critical public health work informs policy. The major aim is to provide a set of guidelines for assessing population health risks within the context of policies. Researchers and practitioners with an interest in public policy, public health, and epidemiology will find the book most useful, but students in these fields can also use it." (Carole A. Kenner, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014)
