Overview
Global Health 101 (4th Edition) by Skolnik is a widely used introductory global health text that gives students a broad, accessible foundation in the major issues affecting health worldwide. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from the principles and goals of global health and health determinants and measurement through the global burden of disease and the links between health, education, equity, and the economy. It also covers ethics and human rights, health systems, culture and the environment, nutrition, women's and children's health, adolescents and young adults, communicable and noncommunicable diseases, injuries, natural disasters and humanitarian emergencies, working together to improve global health, and the role of science and technology. The aim is to help you review high-yield concepts the way they are tested on course exams, without rereading the whole book. It's an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook and not a copy of it — help students master a broad introductory global health curriculum.
Aligned with introductory global and public health courses; supports midterms and finals covering health determinants, the global burden of disease, and major global health challenges.
