Public Policy Challenges In Rethinking Public Health: Comparative Perspectives
This volume challenges current thinking on post-pandemic public health reform, which assumes that public health systems will naturally be strengthened in light of the shortcomings exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, this volume asks why public health is such an intractable and difficult area for effective public policy initiatives and suggests two kinds of answers. The first is 'because of the very nature of public health', which is difficult to clearly define and conceptualize. The second answer is 'because of the specific contextual features of each discrete healthcare system within which public health is situated.'This comparative analysis examines how the public health systems of ...

Substance Use in a Comparative Perspective
The book follows two main objectives. First, it aims at putting together different pieces of evidence on developments of substance use and risk behavior in five post-communist countries over time. Thus, first objective is to build a complex and reliable empirical evidence base for empirical comparison (and identify evidence gaps). Second, we try to analyze and interpret such developments using both quantitative and qualitative analysis and to relate them to the formulated theoretical framework. Since available empirical evidence is often far from conclusive, the findings presented are sometimes rather exploratory and should be tested by further and more detailed research. The book is structu...

Tracking Resources For Primary Health Care: A Framework And Practices In Low- And Middle-income Countries
The global health community is broadly in agreement that achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hinges upon both an escalation of the financial resources dedicated to primary health care (PHC) and a more effective use of those resources: more money, better spent. This book introduces and explicates the end-to-end resource tracking and management (RTM) framework, which includes five components that determine effective and efficient financing for PHC: resource mobilization, allocation, utilization, productivity, and targeting.In addition, this book compiles detailed results from the most recent RTM-based resource tracking efforts for PHC in selected countries. This is to demonstrate how the RTM framework can be used to bring a set of separate resource tracking efforts at different stages of flow of funds into a comprehensive process with an end-to-end 'storyline'. In order to build a functional PHC system that addresses access, quality, and equity issues, this book highlights the key (public) financing issues that researchers, technical advisors, and policy makers would need to address in addition to more resources.
