The state's role in promoting population health: Public health concerns in Canada, USA, UK, and Sweden Dennis Raphael a, Toba Bryant b. a.

In this paper we examine the dominant public health models of Canada, USA, UK, and Sweden. The Canadian and USA public health communities are focused upon individualized approaches to risk management. In contrast, the UK and Swedish public health scenes are more oriented toward broader approaches to health determinants. We argue that the extent to which governments, public health agencies and public health workers concern themselves with public policy approaches to address broader determinants of health depends upon the particular model of health adhered to within each jurisdiction. And whether a health model is adopted depends upon the ideological and political context within which a nation is situated. Canada represents a situation where concerted effort to influence governmental policy directions by the public health community could reap significant benefits. 感謝大家囉 我已經翻了一部份 想和大家對照一下答案 麻煩幫我翻譯一下..寄到站內信箱 拜託拜託!!!!! 謝謝!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- http://tinyurl.com/yb58rwc HI EVERYBODY :) --
