L'information sur la santé et les politiques de santé, ou les politiques de santé et d'information des acteurs, constituent des débats à l'acuité accrue. Traiter des rapports entre les médias et les acteurs de la santé et du politique c'est véritablement s'interroger sur la " santé " du politique et sur celle de l'information publique.

"Written by epidemiologists, ethicists and legal scholars, this book provides an in-depth account of the moral problems that often confront epidemiologists, including both theoretical and practical issues. An excellent introduction explores the theoretical and practical problems while leading issues are examined in later chapters with up-to-date and solid analysis. The topics covered include informed consent, privacy and confidentiality protection, the balancing of risks and benefits, ethical issues in the study of vulnerable populations, the institutional review board system, and professional education. All articles in the volume are original, and each include detailed references and an extensive bibliography. Epidemiologists, public health researchers, bioethicists, and health policy-makers will value the insight this book provides into the ethical dilemmas faced in epidemiologic research."--Publisher description (LoC).
