Offering in-depth coverage of biologic, chemical, and radiologic agents, this book helps family physicians understand their role in preparing for and responding to terrorist events. The text considers the physical and psychological impact on providers and patients who are directly affected as well as spillover effects. It also examines the structure, function, and planning efforts of the public health system at the local, state, and federal levels. Emphasis is placed on how physicians can work with health officials on the delivery of preventive and therapeutic measures. In addition, coverage also discusses surveillance activities, plans for handling mass casualties, and responding to concerns about risk.
