Overview
Designed to make the subject of health policy accessible to students, this revised and updated text introduces the recent key developments in health policy in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Well researched and accessible, its twelve chapters guide readers through the various models of policy development and implementation using case studies of actual policies and offering questions that spark critical thinking.
