A critical component of disease/injury prevention is public health surveillance - the collection, analysis and dissemination of health data. This study covers the usage of public surveillance programmes for vaccine preventable diseases, as well as for viruses such as AIDS and HIV. Readers learn how to target the resources of the public health system and evaluate programme effectiveness against birth defects, occupational illness and injury, chronic disease, pharmacosurveillance, and other public health problems.
