Strategic Skills for Public Health Practice: Advancing Equity and Justice is a call to reimagine public health as a dynamic social movement rooted in community leadership. Grounded in bold vision and practical application, Advancing Equity and Justice challenges practitioners to move beyond limited technical fixes to embrace the moral clarity and collective action necessary to improve health for all.

The book blends traditional public health competencies — including research, evaluation and policy — with historical context, systems analysis, compelling narratives, insights from lived experience, and engaging illustrations.
