Originally published in 1987, this book examines the priorities of health policy in the late 20th Century and the varied approaches or strategies to foster the prevention or control of disease. Several chapters focus on specific diseases and conditions, but other areas of concern such as injuries, alcoholism, drug-abuse, occupational health and nutrition are also dealt with. The book illuminates how epidemiology can serve as a more effective basis for health policy and practice and will be of great value to students and lecturers of medical sociology, epidemiological medicine and health policy.

Sol Levine was University Professor of Sociology and Public Health at Boston University, USA. Abraham Lilienfeld was Distringuished Service Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Unviersity School of Hygiene and Public Health, USA.
