Population Health Intervention Research

Representing a diverse array of health concerns ranging across chronic and infectious diseases and including research employing varied qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this book illustrates how geographic concepts and approaches have informed the design and planning of interventions and the evaluation of health impacts. The authors argue that geographically targeting interventions to places of high-need and tailoring interventions to local place contexts are critically important for intervention success. Including an afterword by Professor Louise Potvin, this book will appeal to researchers interested in population and public/community health and epidemiology as well as health geography.
