Summary

Tom Frieden examines how public-health knowledge can become practical action. He draws on successes and failures to discuss the gap between evidence and changes that improve population health.

The book is an argument about public systems and implementation. Its cases should be read in their stated settings rather than as individual treatment instructions.
