- Title
Bending the Trends.
- Authors
DeSalvo, Karen; Harris, Andrea
- Abstract
The authors explore ways of improving healthcare outcomes in the U.S. They examine the results of a study which indicated that the continued increases in medical care costs in the country are not associated with better outcomes or more equitable health. They also discuss the benefits of adopting a public health model that aims to create healthy communities by addressing such factors as the environment, housing, transportation and access to healthy food and safe spaces.
