Authors of the 20 chapters written for the 2009 edition of the respected annual series examine whether the U.S. is losing ground in trying to improve health because of changes in social determinants, geographic life influences on heart disease, the link between food marketing and childhood obesity, and evidence-based public health. Other topics include arsenic and chromium in drinking water, the delivery of public health interventions via the internet, transformation of the veterans health care system, and quality-based financial incentives in health care.
