About us

Systems Approaches in Public Health is a new blog, arising from the growing interest in Public Health professionals and practitioners about understanding populations as systems and/or as complex social processes  and understanding how this insight can be turned into practical ways of improving and protecting the health of populations.  We are not for profit.
