520 _aRated by an independent panel as the best introductory global health text for undergraduates, this best-selling text is a user-friendly introduction to the most critical issues in global health. Global Health 101, Third Edition illustrates key themes with a comprehensive set of case studies, examples, and the latest data. Particular attention is given to the health-development link, to developing countries, and to the health needs of poor and disadvantaged people. The Third Edition is a thorough revision that offers an extensive amount of new and updated information, while maintaining clarity, simplicity, and ease of use for faculty and students. Offering the latest data on the burden of disease, the book presents unique content on key topics that are often insufficiently covered in introductory materials, such as immunization and adolescent health. - Back cover
