Science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health and efficiency through organized community effort (Winslow, 1920)
Successive re-definings of the unacceptable (Vickers, 1958)

Definitions of Public Health
Fulfilling society’s interest in assuring conditions in which people can be healthy (Institute of Medicine, 1988)

Mission of Public Health
Early influences on public health in America• Imperialism and industrialization• British influence: Jenner, Snow, Chadwick
Early public health infrastructure• Shattuck’s report
Federal public health• US Constitution• Marine Hospital Service

After 1999 Preparing for and Responding to Community Health Threats
• Ecological perspective of healthoDeterminants of health: biological, behavioral,
social, cultural, environmental and their inter-relationships

Key Public Health Frameworks
A system is an organized collection of parts (or subsystems) that are highly integrated to accomplish an overall goal.
The system has various inputs, which go through certain processes to produce certain outputs, which together, accomplish the overall desired goal for the system.
A system is usually made up of many smaller systems, or subsystems http://managementhelp.org/systems/

Context
1. Humans have a right to the resources necessary for health.
2. Humans are inherently social and interdependent.
3. The effectiveness of institutions depends heavily on the public’s trust.
4. Collaboration is a key element to public health.5. People and their physical environment are
interdependent. 6. Each person in a community should have an
opportunity to contribute to public discourse.
Public Health Code of Ethics
7. Identifying and promoting the fundamental requirements for health in a community are of primary concern to public health.
8. Knowledge is important and powerful. 9. Science is the basis for much of our public
health knowledge. 10.People are responsible to act on the basis of
what they know.11.Action is not based on information alone.
Public Health Code of Ethics (cont’d)
Individual competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitude) are required to perform Essential Public Health Services
