About the Book

Dawning Answers charts the legacy of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic to the theory and practice of public health. Richly detailed chapters describe how advances in techniques and startegies to monitor health events, develop public policy, set funding priorities, mobilize communities, support the adoption of safer behaviors, ensure access to needed prevention and treatment services, and involve affected populations in public health research, intervention, and evaluation, all owe a substantial debt to those who have adapted, redefined, and extended these techniques and startegies in response to HIV/AIDS. The book offers thoughtful analyses from experts in various fields and disciplines. Although most of the examples reflect the U.S. experience, relevant examples from other countries are cited, and an entire chapter is devoted to the evolving impact of HIV/AIDS on global health and development. Devastating as the losses from AIDS have been, the many public health lessons learned as a result of the epidemic have positively influenced other domains of public health and will continue to exert an influence on new approaches to health assessment, policy development, and assurance.

Review :
"This volume is comprehensive in its coverage, innovative in its approach, and well written. It is highly recommended to all in the fields of public health and preventive medicine." -Journal of Community Health, Vol. 28, 2003 "In an era in which alarmist editorials are a dime a dozen, the precise composed objectivity of Dawning Answers can be strangely jarring...the objective here if merely to pose the relevant questions clearly and succinctly, outline contrasting positions in current debates about HIV programmes, and place them into the appropriate sociological, political and ethical contexts. As a physician who treats people with HIV-1 infection and a clinical investigator, I found the first sections of this book useful for historical perspective and as a primer on public-health terminology and conceptual models. The later chapters provide thought-provoking information on various interpretations of the term 'AIDS exceptionalism.' What is refreshing is that these complex themes are presented here with balanced citations and journalistic objectivity, coaxing the reader to sift many viewpoints and formulate his or her own conclusions."--The Lancet "Dawning Answers makes an important contribution to the public health literature on AIDS. It insists that the progress made in controlling HIV/AIDS has wider implications, and encourages readers to extract the key lessons learned and apply them to broader public health practice."--AIDS Education and Prevention "This multi-authored volume documents the role of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in enhancing both public health theory and practice. He has assembled an impressive group of experienced contributors, whose individual chapters are both authoritative and highly informative about the vital role this disease has played in strengthening public health services worldwide. This volume is comprehensive in its coverage, innovative in its approach, and well written. It is highly recommended to all in the fields of public health and preventive medicine."--Journal of Community Health "This volume is comprehensive in its coverage, innovative in its approach, and well written.
