Description: The book offers a "how-to" presentation of a health-care model, Community Participatory Involvement, which has been used successfully for 20 years to deal with public-health and other problems around the world.
Review Quotes: "Drawing on case studies from cholera epidemics in South America, this book shows how a Community Participatory Involvement model serves as an unusually effective means for global health intervention. The authors present a compelling argument for the active involvement of local communities in defining research parameters and public health objectives, in conjunction with civil society and state institutions. This book is engaging and accessible, and it offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersecting biological, environmental, and social determinants of infectious disease."
