The book explores the importance of nutrition as a component of the broad field of public health. The authors review the principles of public health nutrition, examining nutritional epidemiology and programs that deal with health disparities, weight control challenges, and the needs of special populations. The text addresses the practice of public health nutrition through tools for conducting a food and nutrition assessment of a community, designing and carrying out a social marketing campaign, and developing large and small grant proposals.
Nutrition in Public Health provides an integrated view of nutrition needs and the policies and political mechanisms that affect the delivery of quality food and nutrition services. It gives students a thorough understanding of the federal government’s role in determining nutrition policy and influencing practice.
Arlene Spark attended the City College of New York (CCNY) and Columbia University Teachers College. After majoring in English at CCNY, she worked for a year as a narcotics caseworker for the New York City Department of Social Services and then for three years as a home economics teacher at the Narcotics Addiction Control Commission (NAAC). The Commission awarded her a paid educational leave of absence for an MS in Public Health Nutrition. She subsequently earned an EdM in community nutrition and started teaching on the college level--and has been teaching on the college level ever since. A United States Public Health Traineeship allowed her to return to school to complete a doctorate in nutrition education. Dr. Spark's career in nutrition includes 12 years of clinical practice and teaching in the Departments of Pediatrics and Community & Preventive Medicine at New York Medical College. At the American Health Foundation she was a co-PI on an NHLBI intervention study in pediatric preventive cardiology, and she served as a co-I on an NHLBI study of the elderly in the Department of Community Medicine at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine (now the Ichan School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai). Since 1998, Dr. Spark has taught in the City University of New York (CUNY). She is professor in the masters and doctoral programs in the CUNY School of Public Health. She has a New York State Permanent Teaching license in Home Economics (it was through home economics that she discovered nutrition). She was in the first cohort of registered dietitians (RDs) to become board certified in pediatric nutrition and in the second cohort of RDs to become a Fellow of the American Dietetic Association (now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics). Dr. Spark is the co-author of Food Policy: Looking Forward From the Past (2015). She lives in Demarest, New Jersey, almost 3000 miles away from her daughter and grandsons in Davis, California.Lauren Dinour
