They include cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and stroke, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, like chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma, and diabetes. The World Health Organization published a \u003cem\u003e'Global Action Plan for the prevention and control of NCDs 2013-2020'\u003c\/em\u003e which set a target to reduce death rates from NCDs by 25%. In response, countries are drawing up national level NCD prevention policies and programmes. New units have been set by governments, NGOs, and other organisation to drive this agenda forward creating a need for capacity building and training. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil the Nuffield Department for Population Health at the University of Oxford initiated an accredited six-day short course on Prevention Strategies for Non-Communicable Diseases with a population-based approach, many attempts to engage with NCD prevention centred on individual-level interventions, such as screening and treating individual patients. In this new book, the course leaders bring together the entire scope of the population-based approach and provide a solid introduction to the concepts, evidence, and methods that define it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e'An Introduction to Population-Level Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases'\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers through the policy cycle from problem definition, solution generation, capacity building, and implementation to evaluation and monitoring. The book includes a wide range of case studies, and practical examples of plans and projects which illustrate real-life application of theory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book provides an unparalleled overview of population-based approaches to the prevention of non-communicable diseases, reflecting the latest research in the field.
