The increasing incidence of diabetes, the heavy burden of morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, and its spiralling healthcare costs, underpin the importance of a public health approach to the prevention and management of diabetes. This Mini-Guide explores in more detail how public health practice might address some of these issues.
Covers all aspects of a public health approach to diabetes
Individual and population-level interventions
Case study examples help relate practice to theory
'Thinking points' encourage reflection and are a teaching aid
Each chapter ends with summary points, websites and further reading lists to help direct readers.
The Public Health Mini-Guides provide up-to-date, evidence-based information in a convenient pocket-sized format, on a range of current key public health topics. They are designed to support the work of health and social care practitioners and students on courses related to public health and health promotion.
