AN OUTING FOR ETHICS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
This month we carry three complementary sets of observations on ethics, science, and public health, including a consideration of the concept of the neutral expert and an exploration of how public health ethics can be accommodated in consumerism. See pages 3–6
Speaker’s corner challenges the conventional epidemiological focus of cardiovascular research on myocardial infarction rather than angina as a hard end point, and in our Gallery we feature Jose Maria Bengoa, who has given 65 years to public health in the Americas. See pages 2
For a Glossary, we offer research in occupational health, a collaboration between Valencia and Seattle. See page 7
Health Impact Assessment ventures out of the laboratory in a paper from Glasgow that explores its role in assessing housing improvements, and a paper from Singapore looks at avoidable hospitalisation rates as measures of the quality of primary care. See pages 11, 17
