Abstract:
Dawning Answers looks at the global HIV/AIDS epidemic through the lens of its evolvoing influence on public health theory and practice. Losses from the epidemic have been devastating, but the many lesson learned have positively influenced other domains of public health and will continue to generate new approaches to health assessment, policy development and assurance. Students and teachers of public health and preventive medicine will find in this singular volume useful analyses from the various disciplines comprising public health.
