Black women and public health : strategies to name, locate, and change systems of power / by Evans, Stephanie Y.,editor.; Davis, Sarita K.,editor; Hinkson, Leslie R.,1971-editor.; Wathington, Deanna J.,editor.; Ward, Jasmine,author of afterword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Black Women and Public Health creates an urgently needed interdisciplinary dialogue about issues of race, gender, and health. An enduring history of racism, sexism, and dehumanization of Black women's bodies has largely rendered the health needs of the Black community inaudible and invisible. Grounded in the lived experiences and expertise of Black women, this collection bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates. Black women's public health work is a regenerative practice--one that looks backward, inward, and forward to improve the quality of life for Black communities in the United States and beyond. The three dozen authors in this volume offer analysis, critique, and recommendations for overcoming longstanding and contemporary challenges to equity in public health practices.

Health communication fundamentals : planning, implementation, and evaluation in public health / by Sood, Suruchi,author.; Riley, Amy Henderson,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Health communication planning -- Health commumication implementation -- Health communication research, monitoring, and evaluation."The two of us decided to write Health Communication Fundamentals: Planning, Implementation and Evaluation in Public Health in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were both teaching graduate courses in health communication at the time and realized we didn't have a comprehensive resource for our students that addressed what we were witnessing every day-ever-changing information as the virus evolved and vaccines became available (though vaccines were not always accessible or equitable), shifting technology use, increasing misinformation and disinformation online, and an erosion of trust in public health authorities. At the same time, we acknowledged our students were increasingly interested in interdisciplinary perspectives and contemporary health topics-such as antiracism and social justice, mental health, and climate change-that have not traditionally been included in health communication textbooks. This textbook is designed to address these gaps and serve as a practical resource to train the next generation of health communication practitioners with the tools they need to excel in the public health communication workforce"--
