Aims and scope

Social Work in Public Health provides a much-needed forum for social workers and those in health and health-related professions.

By blending conceptual and practical considerations, Social Work in Public Health enables authors from many disciplines to examine health and social policy issues, concerns, and questions with a focus on implications for practitioners and scholars in social work and public health. This valuable resource also presents leading policymakers, as well as community leaders and individuals affected by particular public and social policies, a forum to discuss and debate contemporary issues and their impact giving readers special insight into policy formulation. Types of articles in Social Work in Public Health include:

specific subjects such as primary prevention, health care strategies of various ethnic groups, and financial aspects in policy formulation
