After developing a framework for analyzing public health ethics, the undergraduate textbook introduces the general moral considerations for assessing and justifying public health interventions, and surveys different perspectives on setting public health goals and priorities. The ten chapters explore the role of government in public health promotion and containing communicable diseases, address the ethical issues raised by screening programs and contact notification, and describe government health communication strategies for changing individual behaviors and social norms. Case studies demonstrate the challenges of ordering directly observed TB treatment, allocating a scarce vaccine, monitoring blood sugar control in diabetes patients, and deciding whether to ban raw milk sales.
