About this ebook
The coverage connects public health foundations with health policies and services in India, epidemiology, biostatistics, social sciences, major health problems and programmes, determinants of health, demography, reproductive and child health, health communication, digital health, health systems research and international health. Worked calculations and explanatory examples help you interpret numerical information, compare approaches and connect programme objectives with evidence of results.
The book contains 600 original MCQs with explanations: 50 questions in each of the ten units and one 100-question integrated mock examination. A quantitative revision companion supports review of important measures and calculations. Eight public health interpretation cases develop practice in reading screening results, trends, inequalities, costs, programme changes and uncertainty. These cases encourage careful judgement about what the available information does and does not establish.
Written by Bookskart Expert UGC Panel and published by Bookskart India, this 2nd Edition combines conceptual study with substantial question practice. Use it to organise revision, investigate errors and make each study session more focused.
About the author
This textbook covers the ten units of UGC NET Social Medicine and Community Health, subject code 81. The unit practice questions and the integrated mock examination are original instructional material. Worked datasets and fictional scenarios are provided for learning and are identified as examples.
Public-health practice relies on current guidance and appropriate professional judgement. The clinical material explains population-health concepts and is not a substitute for assessment and treatment of an individual patient.
Source references identify policies, guidance, methods and data used in the text. Historical dates, programme targets and data reference periods are retained so that changes can be understood accurately.
