In her online courses, Sue J. Goldie often uses diagrams and visual maps as a way to help students organize thinking about different dimensions of population health challenges. In this lesson, she introduces an informal conceptual framework constructed to reflect two main questions for public health professionals:
1) How can we best define and understand the health challenges in a population by considering both health conditions and the "conditions for health"?
2) How we can best respond to those challenges, drawing on contributions from the health and non-health sector?
