No one is healthy alone.
Sixty questions on the forces that act on health from outside the body — trust, family, faith, migration, and meaning. Not to be memorised — to be argued with until the reasoning is yours.
Written for students of public health and epidemiology by Yahya M. Al-Farsi, Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology, Sultan Qaboos University. The cases are Omani and Gulf: a family managing diabetes together, a mosque health campaign, a migrant worker far from home, a belief about illness the clinic must first understand.
Practice by unit
Every answer is marked the moment you choose it, with the reasoning shown. Quantitative items — the social gradient's rate ratio, a health-literacy prevalence, an intervention's relative effect — show their working.
Test yourself
Twenty questions, twenty minutes, no feedback until the end. Then review every answer with the working.
