[edit] Comment
I saw the quote below and wanted to know more.
"Early on in human civilization, it was recognized that polluted water and lack of proper waste disposal may spread vector-borne diseases."
How early on? What is your source with page number included.

[edit] Why
I have been avoiding this article for long because I assumed there would be a lot of controversy here. Then I came here ready to deal with the squabbles, but nada. Why? Where are the health promotion vs. health education arguments? Where are the risk factors and the health behaviours? Or is it that this is the ultimate article? The wikipedia article where everyone is NPOV? I doubt it. Well, I'll go quarrel about what Homer Simpson said or did not say. --Ezeu 14:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I agree
I cleaned it up a lot but have yet to add more thorough discussion. will do in a bit,. ThatPaige 03:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)ThatPaige
[edit] Categories
Should Category:Sewerage & Category:Water treatment be subcategories of Category:Public health?
What about other technologies, such as refrigeration, which have an impact on public health? Should we create a category called Public health technologies? --Singkong2005 04:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Schools
Why is only Johns Hopkins (correctly, Bloomberg School) listed on this page? What about Harvard, Michigan, Washington, North Carolina, Emory....
I'd rather delete the link and replace it with a link to the Association of Schools of Public Health -- unless someone wants to make a list of schools and programs of public health. --D Wilbanks 03:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Good point. I deleted the link to JHBSPH, replaced it with a link to ASPH, and reordered the links a little with agencies at the top. Of course, you should feel free to do this sort of editing in the future! bikeable (talk) 20:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Splitting?
Moved from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine:
I think this article should be split into several other articles - it would be a good thing, I feel. Does anyone else agree with this proposal?? SunStar Net 13:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why do you think that? And in what would you split? A quick look doesn't convince me that's the way to go...--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 14:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
