Description 1 online resource Series Cambridge elements. Elements in public policy Cambridge elements. Elements in public policy. Summary When politicians reshape public health agencies, scientists resist changes and, if possible, leave. Those shifts make it harder for agencies to fight future public health threats. This Element focuses on the tension between scientists and managerial control in the policy process, both conceptually and empirically. It centers on a failed attempt to reorganize the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because many of the gains in longevity and health quality result from the work of public health agencies, public health scientists and practitioners are the frontline producers of public health.--provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 03, 2022) Subject Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) SUBJECT Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) fast (OCoLC)fst00686437 Subject Medical policy -- United States Medical scientists -- United States.
