      abstract = {"Numerous research programs have developed over the last  decade to improve the understanding of the causes,  prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications.  Efficient synthesis of the data and information from these  diverse sources is crucial to prioritize interventions and  assemble resources for the implementation of public health  programs. This book meets this need and builds on previous  works to reflect the evolution of science related to  diabetes public health. Through compelling evidence related  to the current health and economic impact of diabetes, the  book provides effective approaches to prevent and manage  diabetes through the practice of public health. It combines  state-of-the-art descriptions of risk factors and  complications, effective and cost-effective approaches to  prevention and treatment, translational research, and  genomics to give a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on  diabetes public health. Critical review and synthesis of  influential epidemiologic studies and consensus statements,  expected future advances in trials and technologies, and  public health information resources are also highlighted  topics. With significant attention to diabetes control in  the U.S. and North America, Diabetes Public Health should  be required reading for public health practitioners and  researchers, as well as anyone involved in health policy,  administration and management. It will also be of interest  to academics in the field of diabetes and other chronic  diseases"--Provided by publisher.},
