Vaccine Hesitancy Curriculum
Vaccination is considered one of humanity's most transformative medical breakthroughs, with its origins tracing back to Edward Jenner's groundbreaking smallpox vaccine in the late 18th century. Though early skepticism of vaccines was formidable, rigorous scientific investigation and countless documented successes established vaccination as a cornerstone of modern medicine. For generations, vaccination was considered one of the surest ways to prevent death and suffering from infectious diseases, fundamentally reshaping global public health outcomes. However, advances in social networking and the influence of an anti-vaccination movement have reignited vaccine hesitancy on a scale not seen since the pre-modern era. Empowering healthcare providers with the skills to engage in meaningful dialogue with patients and the community about vaccines is paramount to addressing vaccine hesitancy and rebuilding public trust in vaccination programs. This comprehensive book first lays a foundation for understanding vaccine hesitancy by exploring the historical sources of mistrust in vaccines and science. Subsequent chapters highlight evidence-based approaches to cultivate communication skills and foster meaningful dialogue in patient interactions, while emphasizing empathetic practice and self-reflection in health professions trainees. Beyond theoretical foundations, it provides practical tools and strategies for addressing the most challenging aspects of vaccine communication. When these communication principles are thoughtfully applied in clinical settings, they become powerful tools for combating misinformation, dismantling deeply held misconceptions, and nurturing patient trust.

Public Health Practice in Australia
The third edition of Public Health Practice in Australia has been written as the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are starting to be fully understood.The book takes a systems approach to public health, examining the impact of historical, social, economic, environmental, and political factors on the health of individuals, communities, and populations. Linking theoretical issues to contemporary practice, it highlights common threads that underlie seemingly disparate activities, ideas, and entities that comprise the organised effort of public health practice. As well as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the health inequalities that it has highlighted, the new edition also emphasizes the importance of ecological health and the impact of climate change on public health.Timely and comprehensive, and including case studies throughout to bring key concepts to life, this is an invaluable resource for students and professionals across the health sciences, including public health, medicine, environmental health, health promotion, health information management, and health administration.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Neurodegenerative diseases progressively damage specific cells and connections in the brain and/or spinal cord, exacting an enormous toll on the health of people living with these diseases, as well as their families and caregivers. ALS is a particularly devastating and complex neurodegenerative disease that affects the neurons that control voluntary muscle movement. People with the disease become progressively weaker and lose their ability to walk, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe on their own, with most people dying within 3-5 years of symptom onset. Four ALS therapies-three disease-modifying, plus one symptom-managing-have been approved by the (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration. Yet, to develop highly effective ALS treatments, numerous challenges remain to be addressed. Hope rests on treatments that are currently in development, or those that will follow based on the identification and validation of new therapeutic targets. Most appealing are treatments that might be instituted in those with genetic causes of ALS even before symptoms begin or uncovering the still mysterious environmental factors that cause ALS. Beginning with a brief history of the disease, an overview of the diseases of the nervous system, and primers on the scientific bases of the disease, this volume elucidates the nature of the disease and sets forth its signs, symptoms and stages. It discusses the genetics and etiology of ALS, its action mechanisms, and the difficulties encountered at reaching a correct diagnosis. It addresses the management and treatment approaches, the prognosis, and summarizes the research and latest developments in the field, including eventual participation in clinical trials. It concludes by answering many of the frequently asked questions about the disease, lists the several resources and support available, and provides guides and guidance for the patients, their families and caregivers.
Risk Communication in Public Health Emergencies
This book clearly explains how public health officials plan, deliver, and evaluate crisis and emergency risk communication before, during, and after health emergencies. Organized into four parts - precrisis planning, communicating during a health emergency, communicating and evaluating after a health emergency, and crisis leadership - it offers practical information as well as the opportunity to reflect on emergency risk communication best practices and theories. Including information on precrisis planning, implications of public health law, developing communication plans, writing messages, evaluating emergency risk communication, and crisis leadership, this book brings together theory and practical application to provide working professionals with evidence-based research and practical knowledge to effectively communicate during health emergencies. Case studies of emergencies such as COVID-19, Zika, Ebola, Mpox, and water crises all use the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication framework to analyze how health officials provided accurate and actionable health information to the public.
