“…Public health, though the prevailing thoughts and practices are derived from biomedical paradigms, draws from the fields of formal, organic, inorganic and social sciences. The article, referring to Winslow (1926), Guest, Ricciardi, Kawachi, and Lang (2013), Park (2013), Muthu (2014), Warren and Smalley (2014), Turnock (2016), observes public health to be a distinct interdisciplinary field which crosses traditional boundaries between above academic disciplines and various schools of thought. Thus, 'knowledges of different fields' are transformed into the 'knowledge of public health'.…”

Public health has constituted itself as a distinct academic discipline. The present paper attempts to understand ontology of this discipline. A study has recently been carried out which concerns, first, conceptualization of ontology of public health, secondly, nature of public health, and thirdly, curriculum development. Ontology is a philosophical doctrine that refers to an understanding about the basic elements theorized about. As the paper unveils, the tenet of public health is that the health state is not a matter of 'individual' only; rather this is a question of the 'collective' too. Diverse aspects take forms of intellectual construction which are transformed into the subject of the discipline. They are categorized as worldview, theory, methodology, instrumentation, and application. The constructions are internalized in the discipline's nature to be 'epistemic', 'interdisciplinary' and 'componential'. In order to produce knowledge, the discipline involves an epistemic process consisting of priori and posteriori approaches. Public health, though the prevailing thoughts and practices are derived from biomedical paradigms, contains an interdisciplinary trait that draws from the fields of formal, organic, inorganic and social sciences. The discipline comes to be appeared as an integral whole being componential. The aforementioned categories of intellectual constructions are viewed as the basic elements of public health. Elements exist and operate in a center/periphery binary relationship. Center (worldview), while it holds the whole structure of the discipline together, limits the movement of rest elements and keeps them in the periphery. The paper concludes by pointing out few issues for developing curriculum for universities.

“…Whilst clinical services traditionally focus on the health (or impairment) of individuals, public health employs interventions which target the health of populations. Such an approach originates from a philosophical position of equity that assumes individuals, communities and governments are all responsible for protecting and promoting health in their population(s) [3]. Public health focuses on efforts to prevent disease and disability, considers factors influencing disease and health outcomes (known as ‘determinants') and adopts a multidisciplinary, multisectoral approach including community engagement [3,4].…”

Adopting Public Health Approaches to Communication Disability: Challenges for the Education of Speech-Language Pathologists

Public health approaches to communication disability challenge the profession of speech-language pathology (SLP) to reconsider both frames of reference for practice and models of education. This paper reviews the impetus for public health approaches to communication disability and considers how public health is, and could be, incorporated into SLP education, both now and in the future. The paper describes tensions between clinical services, which have become increasingly specialized, and public health approaches that offer a broader view of communication disability and communication disability prevention. It presents a discussion of these tensions and asserts that public health approaches to communication are themselves a specialist field, requiring specific knowledge and skills. The authors suggest the use of the term ‘communication disability public health' to refer to this type of work and offer a preliminary definition in order to advance discussion. Examples from three countries are provided of how some SLP degree programmes are integrating public health into the SLP curriculum. Alternative models of training for communication disability public health that may be relevant in the future in different contexts and countries are presented, prompting the SLP profession to consider whether communication disability public health is a field of practice for speech-language pathologists or whether it has broader workforce implications. The paper concludes with some suggestions for the future which may advance thinking, research and practice in communication disability public health.
