Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 2)

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781464803482

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume.

The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings:

1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women.

2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems.

3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Genetic counseling is one of the fastest growing fields across clinical care, medical research, and health-related industries. This growth is driven by advancements in genetic knowledge, the expansion of genetic tests and sequencing tools, industry demands for new testing modalities, and a public interest in direct-to-consumer genetic testing. <p/>As the field continues to expand and diversify, <em>The Oxford Handbook of Genetic Counseling</em> is the most comprehensive and authoritative resource designed to meet the demands of a growing workforce. The volume contains thirty-six chapters that cover historic developments, application in clinical practice, research and industry, and genetic and genomic testing. The book also discusses ethical and social issues and provides an outlook on the future of the field. <p/>Bringing together an interdisciplinary team that includes genetic counselors, clinical geneticists, medical researchers, bioethicists, legal and policy experts, and other healthcare professionals, this volume is an invaluable resource for professionals in the field. It appeals to genetic counselors, genetic counseling students, teachers, scholars, and bioethicists. Given its scope and diversity of topics, it is also an important resource for clinical faculty, health researchers, and healthcare providers who are increasingly encountering genetics and genomics in their respective fields.
