“I highly recommend this book to anyone working directly with people with an intellectual disability as well as professionals, academics and students who strive to promote issues and improve the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and their families.” Agnes Lunny OBE, Chief Executive of Positive Futures, Northern Ireland “The editors and authors have done practitioners a great favour in bringing together in one volume a comprehensive account of how children and adults with intellectual disabilities can be supported to lead healthier lives.” Roy McConkey, Professor of Developmental Disabilities, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland People with learning disabilities are affected by significantly more health problems than the general population and are much more likely to have significant health risks. Yet evidence suggests they are not receiving the same level of health education and health promotion opportunities as other members of society. This important, interdisciplinary book is aimed at increasing professional awareness of the importance of health promotion activities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Written by an international board of experts, it is a thorough and comprehensive guide for students, professionals and carers. The book considers a variety of challenges faced by those with intellectual disabilities, from physical illnesses such as diabetes, epilepsy and sexual health issues, through to issues such as addiction, mental health and ageing.

“For anyone looking for a readable and complete introduction to evaluation, the search ends here. This book gives an overview of evaluation in action for making better decisions about how to improve health outcomes for individuals, communities, and nations. The emphasis on including assessments of implementation is refreshing and the examples throughout the book illuminate the concepts and pique the reader's curiosity right to the end.” Dean L. Fixsen, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Senior Scientist & Co-Director, National Implementation Research Network, USA Evaluating Improvement and Implementation for Health describes modern evaluation methods in healthcare and policymaking, and challenges some of the assumptions of the evidence based healthcare movement: • • • •

Are innovations always an improvement? Are they always worth it? Can they be implemented? More importantly, should they be implemented?

These are questions with practical consequences and questions which evaluation can answer - if we choose the right methods. This book will help you do just that - match the right evaluation method to the questions being asked. Pragmatic, even-handed and accessible, Evaluating Improvement and Implementation for Health provides an overview of the many different evaluation perspectives and methods used in the health sector.

This text is part of a wider initiative to monitor the effects of the crisis on health systems and health, to identify those policies most likely to sustain the performance of health systems facing fiscal pressure and to gain insight into the political economy of implementing reforms in a crisis. The study draws on three main sources of information: • A survey of countries in WHO’s European Region carried out in two waves. The first wave involved 45 key informants in 45 countries and covered health system responses up to the end of March 2011. The second wave involved 92 key informants in 47 countries and covered health system responses up to the end of January 2013. • Detailed case studies of health system responses to the crisis in Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal. These countries were selected from a group of countries identified as being heavily affected by the crisis in different ways. Each case study was written by national experts and academic researchers based on a standard template. • Analysis of statistical data from international databases Contents: Introduction / The economic and fiscal background to the crisis and implications for spending on health / How has the crisis affected public funding for the health system? / How has the crisis affected health coverage? / How has the crisis affected purchasing and service delivery? / How has the crisis affected health status? / Lessons for policy Paperback £29.99 June 2015 256pp

European Child Health Services and Systems Ingrid Wolfe and Martin McKee (Eds) Both at LSHTM, UK

The book focuses on three key aspects of delivery of child health services: l l l

Service integration and coordination Public health measures Enhancing the quality of care for children

Taking a child-centric view on understanding how health services and systems work the book aims to contribute towards improving children’s health through deepening the understanding of children’s health services. Focusing primarily on the western European countries the book draws on research conducted with child health leaders in ten countries: Austria, Britain, Finland, France, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. The chapters include clinical scenarios designed to help identify and describe the various ways in which children and their families negotiate health services when dealing with twelve different conditions.

An Agenda for Policy, Information and Research

MANAGEMENT, POLICY AND LEADERSHIP Successes and Failures of Health Policy in Europe Four Decades of Divergent Trends and Converging Challenges Johan Mackenbach and Martin McKee (Eds) Both at LSTHM, UK

In the last 40 years the health of Europeans overall has improved markedly yet progress has been very uneven from country to country. Successes and Failures of Health Policy in Europe considers the impact health policy has had on population health in Europe. It asks key questions about mortality trends and health policy activity, such as: • Do between-country differences in rates of smoking-related diseases reflect differences in tobacco-control policies? • What would be a country's health gain if it implemented the policies of the best-performing country? • Which social, economic and political factors influence a country's success in health policy? This book fills an important gap by offering a comparative analysis of the successes and failures of health policy in different European countries. In doing so it helps readers identify best practices in health improvement from which other countries can learn. The book explores how policy impact can be quantified and identifies which aspects of policy we can learn from when tackling the determinants of health in our populations.

Understanding Health Services

Frances Wilson, Mzwandile Mabhala and Alan Massey All at the University of Chester, UK

It is now widely acknowledged that there is more to health than just the absence of illness. This book aims to widen the perspective of health professionals to encompass the concept of well-being across the lifespan. It has been written to introduce students to the theory and practical application of health improvement and well-being in the context of public health, providing global as well as domestic perspectives on key concepts, in particular: • • • •

Social and health inequalities Social justice Political influences Commissioning, funding and delivery of services

Each chapter defines and provides an outline of theoretical perspectives relevant to each topic, allowing the reader to critically evaluate the accepted wisdom in each of the fields under discussion. Case studies illustrate local and global perspectives and questions throughout the book encourage students to think and reflect on the key points of each chapter and apply theory to practice. With a delicate blend of theory and practice, Health Improvement and Well-Being considers the key influences on health improvement and the best ways to tackle them as a health professional.

Reinhold Gruen and Nick Black This book provides a series of conceptual frameworks which help to unravel the apparent complexity that confronts the inexperienced observer. It also shows the necessity to consider healthcare at three levels.

This book is key reading for experienced and senior public health professionals as well as masters level students taking courses in public health, health improvement or health promotion, or taking modules in health improvement as part of a more general health science course.
