Part I illuminates the powerful relationship between rights work and public health practice in Thailand, Russia, Burma, and China and in U.S. prisons. Part II explores new methodologies and new uses of previous practices for rights-based public health research. Part III confronts current policy approaches--such as Brazil's integration of rights, HIV\/AIDS programming, and the contradictory and confounding global policies on illicit drugs--and offers recommendations for future programs and strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Beyrer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801886473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801886478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.11w x 1.18d","brand":"Chris Beyrer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120235770111,"sku":"9780801886478","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6718720b-96af-4cc3-be7d-9be10bb339ef.jpg?v=1687413229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-health-human-rights-chris-beyrer-9780801886478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
