public health best answer:
Answer by RenRen
A. Public health looks at everyone from all over. We (I’m an epidemiologist) are concerned with things that may be coming down the pike and hit all of us (like bird flu, etc.). Community health mostly involves doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals that tailor interventions to a particular community’s needs, and they generally don’t plan out for “the bigger picture”, although they do a heck a job in their locales, since they know it better.

Answer by thelast_ninja_cronicles_998
of course because it affects the health of the public
Wow…,
Boy, I’m surprised at the reaction the book is getting! I have this book, and it’s really quite good – I’m an MS-Epidemiology candidate, and it’s really helped me with the fundamentals of the field. Incidentally, in response to the implication that Dr. Turnock is less than qualified to put forth an effort such as this, you might want to investigate that, you can find his impressive accompishments at the school’s website. Board certified in Preventive Medicine and Public Health, and former director of the IDPH, to name a few? Sounds qualified to me. I’d recommend this book to any PH student or someone looking to learn the basics…I don’t hesitate to rank this right up there with Gordis. Cheers!
