Health statistics

shaping policy and practice to improve the population's health

Edición de la obra Health statistics

Health statistics have been an essential tool for improving the health of populations for centuries, yet no single book covers the key elements in developing, using, and improving them. This volume fills that crucial gap by providing a comprehensive account of the essential concepts and complex underpinnings of health statistics. It is guided throughout by a comprehensive model of population health that expands the traditionally held view of what factors influence health.
