| Abstract (English): |
Population health is driven by the forces in the world around us. Those forces, in turn, are determined by a national and global conversation about priorities and values. This highlights the challenges public health faces to achieve its broader aspirations. The long-drawn national and global debates about what to prioritize and how collective resources should be invested are influenced, both positively and negatively, by a wide variety of factors. Political considerations about where resources should be deployed and who benefits from them and who does not, are a central part of any national or global conversation. Similarly, commercial stakeholders have a particular and legitimate interest in a broader conversational environment, given the impact this topic can have on their commercial viability. Additionally, broader public conversations depend on the millions of small-scale conversations at the proverbial kitchen table that, together, lead to change and form the national and global consensus. This essay establishes the need to catalize, on small and large scales, the underpinnings of public health on an ongoing basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
La salud de las poblaciones se basa en las fuerzas del mundo que nos rodean. Esas fuerzas, a su vez, están determinadas por un consenso nacional y mundial sobre prioridades y valores que nos recuerda adecuadamente cuán difícil es para la salud pública lograr sus aspiraciones más amplias. Los extensos debates nacionales y mundiales sobre qué priorizar y cómo se deben invertir los recursos colectivos están influenciados, positiva y negativamente, por una gran variedad de factores internos y externos. Las consideraciones políticas sobre dónde deben desplegarse los recursos y quién se beneficia y quién no de ellos son una parte central de cualquier conversación nacional o global. De manera similar, los actores comerciales tienen un interés particular y legítimo en un entorno de conversación más amplio, dado el impacto que esta conversación puede tener en su viabilidad comercial. Adicionalmente, las conversaciones públicas más amplias dependen de las millones de conversaciones a pequeña escala en la mesa de la cocina proverbial que, juntas, se suman para cambiar y evolucionar el consenso nacional y global. En este ensayo se establece la necesidad de permear, a pequeña y gran escala, los fundamentos que sustentan la salud pública en forma permanente. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
