Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many young people suffer from skin conditions which affect their physical and mental wellbeing. In the modern 'appearance-focused' world of social media, skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis can be particularly psychologically challenging. Furthermore, with so much (mis)information out there, it can be hard to know where to start when looking for advice. This book provides clear, accurate, and evidence-based information for young people with skin conditions. It outlines what 'normal' skin is, with subsequent chapters covering the most common skin problems, including acne, eczema, alopecia, hidradenitis, psoriasis, sweating, urticaria, vitiligo, and others. Each chapter describes the condition in a clear, easy-to-read format, and offers practical, evidence-based advice for treating and managing symptoms. Additional resources in each chapter provide reliable sources for finding further information. The book also includes a unique section addressing the impact skin can have on your life and ways to address this. The book is written with teenagers and young adults in mind, but the information will be useful for anyone with a skin problem, or those involved with young people including parents, teachers, and health workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.
