Oxford University Press Health Economics of Wellbeing and Wellbecoming
Book SynopsisDiscussions about spending on health and social care often fall into silos, determined by disease or the cause of death. Spending on health and social care is rarely assessed along the lines of a life-course model. It is also ironic that many public health interventions provide relatively convincing value for money, yet we still only spend approximately 5% of the NHS budget on prevention.Health Economics of Well-being and Well-becoming across the Life-course follows a life-course model with chapters aligned to pregnancy and early years; adolescence; working age; and older age phases of life. It enables the reader to think about older age in a different way and asks them to consider where we should be investing in cost-effective interventions to support the prevention of chronic disease, disability, and premature death later in life. Academically, it brings the rigour of evidence review to an eminently readable book using infographics and take-home messages. The economic and health econ

Oxford University Press Inc Americas New Vaccine Wars
Book SynopsisBioethicist Mark Navin and policy scholar Katie Attwell explore the evolution of American childhood vaccination policy through the prism of political history, contemporary parenthood, and diverse governance strategies. America''s New Vaccine Wars focuses on the origins and the outcomes of America''s recent efforts to eliminate nonmedical exemptions to school and daycare vaccine mandates. These policy developments have increased immunization rates, but they have also ignited polarizing, nationwide debates about parents'' rights, democracy, and the authority of the government to use coercion to promote health. This book explores the meaning of these battles for parents, doctors, the politics of public health, and the future of bioethics.Navin and Attwell ground the book with a case study of California''s efforts to exclude unvaccinated children from school and daycare following the Disneyland Measles Outbreak of 2014. The authors use original interviews with key policymakers and activistTrade ReviewAmerica's New Vaccine Wars is a timely and important addition to the literature on vaccination policy. Navin and Attwell provide a comprehensive overview of the events leading up to California's elimination of non-medical exemptions to school vaccination requirements and what has happened since that time, along with a nuanced discussion of the legal and ethical issues surrounding vaccination requirements and vaccine policy. The interdisciplinary approach- history, law, ethics, philosophy, psychology, politics- enhances our understanding of the complex issues related to vaccine policy. This book should be required reading for those interested in and involved with the ethical and policy issues surrounding vaccination. * Douglas S. Diekema, University of Washington School of Medicine *Meticulously researched and carefully argued, America's New Vaccine Wars grapples with some of the most complex and urgent public policy issues of our time: the relationship between the people and their government, trust in medical and scientific authority, and what we all owe to each other in the name of public health. Navin and Attwell's nuanced account resists easy explanations and provides clear guidance for policy makers. This is a superb case study of the political, legal, and ethical dimensions of public health. * James Colgrove, Columbia Mailman School of Public Health *This book nicely blends sociological, historical, and philosophical considerations in an overarching account of vaccine mandates in California. However, the issues raised here are relevant to political and sociological reflection on vaccine mandates more broadly. Discussing vaccination policy after the COVID-19 pandemic will require the kind of interdisciplinarity and depth of analysis of which this book is a perfect example. * Alberto Giubilini, University of Oxford *Table of ContentsKey Dates Preface Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: The Mandates & Exemptions Regime Chapter Three: Last Tweaks Chapter Four: Mobilizing for the Nonmedical Exemptions Bill Chapter Five: Social Meaning and Political Conflict Chapter Six: Drawing the Wrong Lessons from the History Of Mandates Chapter Seven: Powerful Doctors and Underfunded Public Health Chapter Eight: The Ethics and Public Acceptability of Mandates Chapter Nine: Policy Limitations and America's Institutions Chapter Ten: Conclusion: Confronting Dystopia Acknowledgments Bibliography Index

Oxford University Press Tracking Medicine C
Book SynopsisWritten by a groundbreaking figure of modern medical study, Tracking Medicine is an eye-opening introduction to the science of health care delivery, as well as a powerful argument for its relevance in shaping the future of our country. An indispensable resource for those involved in public health and health policy, this book uses Dr. Wennberg''s pioneering research to provide a framework for understanding the health care crisis; and outlines a roadmap for real change in the future. It is also a useful tool for anyone interested in understanding and forming their own opinion on the current debate.Trade ReviewThe arguments for integrated delivery systems, shared decision making, informed patient choice, and investment in comparative effectiveness research, as set out by Wennberg in this book, should be compulsory reading for policy makers and healthcare leaders. In putting forward these arguments he throws down the gauntlet to the medical profession to act on evidence of variation or else have others who are less well qualified do so instead. * British Medical Journal *There are many books on healthcare reform, health delivery, or systems research, but none that combine the science with practical experience like this one does * Northeastern University Bouve College of Health Sciences *Table of ContentsPART I.THE PROBLEM OF UNWARRANTED VARIATION IN HEALTH CARE 1.

National Academies Press The U.S. Commitment to Global Health Recommendations for the Public and Private Sectors
Book SynopsisHealth is a highly valued, visible, and concrete investment that has the power to both save lives and enhance the credibility of the United States in the eyes of the world. While the United States has made a major commitment to global health, there remains a wide gap between existing knowledge and tools that could improve health if applied universally, and the utilization of these known tools across the globe. The U.S. Commitment to Global Health concludes that the U.S. government and U.S.-based foundations, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and commercial entities have an opportunity to improve global health. The book includes recommendations that these U.S. institutions * increase the utilization of existing interventions to achieve significant health gains; * generate and share knowledge to address prevalent health problems in disadvantaged countries; * invest in people, institutions, and capacity building with global partners; * increase the quantity and quality of U.S. Table of Contents1 Front Matter; 2 Summary; 3 1 Introduction; 4 2 Scale Up Existing Interventions to Achieve Significant Health Gains; 5 3 Generate and Share Knowledge to Address Health Problems Endemic to the Global Poor; 6 4 Invest in People, Institutions, and Capacity Building with Global Partners; 7 5 Increase U.S. Financial Commitments to Global Health; 8 6 Set the Example of Engaging in Respectful Partnerships; 9 7 Call to Action; 10 Appendix A: Statement of Task; 11 Appendix B: Committee Biographies; 12 Appendix C: Public Committee Meeting Agendas; 13 Appendix D: Working Group Meeting Agendas; 14 Appendix E: Commissioned Paper: Global Health Governance Report--Lawrence O.
