Acknowledgments

Public Health 101: Healthy People–Healthy Populations, Second Edition, is the culmination of 15 years of effort aimed at introducing public health to undergraduates. The effort originated with the teaching of an introductory course in public health in 1998 at the then newly created The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services. The new course, organized by associate dean Nancy Alfred Persily, inspired efforts to teach and to learn from a new generation. The approach was designed as part of a liberal arts education, stimulating the movement that came to be called the Educated Citizen and Public Health.

Efforts to think through the content of an introductory course in public health have involved a large number of people throughout the United States. Public health, arts and sciences, and clinical educators all participated in the 2006 Consensus Conference on Public Health Education, which put forward the framework for Public Health 101 upon which this book is based. Among those who led and continue to lead this effort is Susan Albertine, whose insights into the relationship between public health and liberal education have formed the basis for much of the Educated Citizen and Public Health movement.

I have taught Public Health 101 since 2002, which has provided me with an opportunity to teach and to learn from over 400 undergraduate students at The George Washington University. Their feedback and input has been central to writing and rewriting this book. Madison Hardee and Katie Harter deserve special recognition for their extensive feedback on many chapters of the first edition. Yifen Liu provided important feedback for the second edition. I would also like to thank Alan Greenberg and Dante Verme, the chair and vice chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, for their support of my efforts to expand the audience for undergraduate public health.

A key change in the second edition is the addition of a second author. I am pleased to welcome and acknowledge the contributions of Brenda Kirkwood, MPH, DrPH. I first had the opportunity to work with Brenda while she was a DrPH student at The George Washington University. Dr. Kirkwood has made extraordinary contributions to the sec- ond edition. She has taken the primary responsibilities for writing and rewriting several chapters. Her careful reviews and dedication to getting the details right have been key to the quality of this edition. Brenda is truly exceptional and a pleasure to work with, as will be confirmed by all who work with her.

The draft of the second edition went through extensive review and feedback. I am grateful to all those who read chapters and provided constructive input. Mike Brown, Publisher of the Public Health and Health Administration line of products for Jones & Bartlett Learning, has made special contributions to this book and the series as a whole. His vision has helped craft the series, and his publishing expertise made it happen. The production, marketing, and editorial staff of Jones & Bartlett Learning deserve special recognition. Their commitment to this book and the entire Essential Public Health series has gone well beyond the expectations of their jobs.

Last, but by no means least, is my wife, Linda Riegelman, who encouraged this book and the Essential Public Health series from the beginning. She saw the need to reach out to students and make real the roles that public health plays in their everyday lives. Linda went the extra mile by reading and rereading both the first and the second edition. She deserves the credit for what works, but the blame for what fails is all mine.

Confronting the challenge of putting together Public Health 101 has been one of the great joys of my professional life. I hope it will bring both joy and challenge to you as you enter into the important and engaging world of public health.

Richard Riegelman, MD, MPH, PhD

Public health is more than a profession; it is a way of thinking. Public Health 101: Healthy People–Healthy Populations introduces you to the profession and also the way of thinking that we will call population health. Population health is an important way of looking at the world, whether you are going into public health as a profession, a clinically oriented health profession, business, law, international affairs, or a range of other professions.

Population health is also a key way of thinking, which prepares you for the challenges of citizenship in a democ- racy. Many of the issues that come before us as a society stem from or benefit from a population health perspective. Whether we are dealing with AIDS, the impact of aging, climate change, or the costs of health care, the population perspective can help us frame the issues and analyze the options to intervene.

In addition, the population perspective leads us to look broadly at the way issues intertwine and interact with each other. We call this systems thinking. In population health, systems thinking is taking center stage as we increas- ingly struggle with complex problems that require us to look beyond the traditional boundaries of health and disease.

Until recently, public health was considered a discipline taught only at the graduate level. Today, undergraduate public health is booming at four-year colleges and is beginning to take hold at community colleges as well. Its roots in general and liberal education go back to the 1980s, when David Fraser, the president of Swarthmore and an epi- demiologist who led the investigation of Legionnaires’ disease, wrote a now classic article called “Epidemiology as a Liberal Art.”1

In 2003, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Sciences recommended that “all undergraduates should have access to education in public health.”2 That recommendation encouraged the development of the Edu- cated Citizen and Public Health initiative, a collaboration of undergraduate educators and public health educators to define and stimulate public health curricula for all undergraduates. Public Health 101 was written to implement the recommendations that came out of this initiative and continue to form the basis for undergraduate education in public health.

This second edition of Public Health 101 has been thoroughly updated and expanded. Each chapter includes new material designed to expand your understanding of public health. Two new chapters have been added, one on food and drugs as public health issues and the other on systems thinking as the future of population health. These chapters are designed to keep Public Health 101 at the cutting edge of new developments and ways of thinking. In addition, each of the five sections includes new case studies challenging you to apply what you have learned.

Public Health 101: Healthy People–Healthy Populations will not try to overload your mind with facts. It is about providing you with frameworks for thinking, and applying these frameworks to real situations and thought-provoking scenarios. Each chapter begins and ends with vignettes designed to show you the types of situations you will confront in public health. After each section, there are cases studies that relate to one or more chapters in the section. They

provide realistic, engaging exercises and open-ended questions to help you think through the application of the key concepts presented in each section.

Public Health 101 is designed as a gateway to the world of public health. It provides an introduction to the Essential Public Health series, a comprehensive series designed primarily for undergraduate public health education. You should take advantage of the Essential Public Health series’ website at www.essentialpublichealth.com. It provides information on all the books in the series.

Hopefully, you will come away from reading Public Health 101 with an appreciation of how the health of the public is influenced by and can be improved by efforts directed at the population level, as well as at the individual level. Let us begin in Chapter 1 by exploring the ways that public health affects everyone’s daily life.
