Population Health vs. Public Health

Many individuals incorrectly think that population health and public health are one in the same. While they are interrelated, there are key differences between the two.

Population Health vs. Public Health

Kindig and Stoddart (2003), define population health as

…an approach [that] focuses on interrelated conditions and factors that influence the health of populations over the life course, identifies systematic variations in their patterns of occurrence, and applies the resulting knowledge to develop and imple-ment policies and actions to improve the health and well-being of those populations.”

They propose that population health is concerned with both the definition of measurement of health outcomes and the pattern of determinants

Population Health vs. Public Health

Determinants include medical care, public health interventions, genetics, and individual behavior, along with components of the social (e.g., income, education, employment, culture) and physical (e.g., urban design, clean air, water) environments.

– Institute of Medicine, 1988
