Population health as a framework for public health practice: A Canadian perspective

B.E. Cohen

American Journal of Public Health, 2006, vol. 96, issue 9, 1574-1576

Abstract: I explored the discourse on population health within 3 diverse regional health authorities in Manitoba, Winnipeg, with a focus on the public health sector. At all study sites, population health was viewed primarily as an epidemiological tool for population health assessment and surveillance rather than as an approach to taking action on the broad determinants of health. My findings suggest that concerns about the limitations of population health as a framework for public health efforts to reduce inequities in health are warranted.
