Thoroughly updated to reflect current statistics, research, treatments, and more, the Second Edition also includes coverage of COVID-19, including its impact on mental health; expanded coverage of the social determinants of health and health inequities; new material on violence prevention including sexual assault and gun control; different ways to approach healthy eating and helpful tips on incorporating exercise; and much more. Filled with examples from social media, websites, and the popular press as well as peer-reviewed publications, the Second Edition also is enlivened with numerous features including: - Try It! which applies topics from the text to the students' daily life. - Fact vs. Fiction which debunks popular health myths and explores controversies, - By the Numbers which displays relevant and often surprising statistics to further the students' understanding of the topics. - Up for Debate which describes current controversies in public health. - Going Upstream provides insights to help students think about predisposing factors to health, particularly social determinants of health. - Tales of Public Health which that are real-life stories to bring a human face to a concept
