Quotes: Geoffrey Rose

Quotes: Geoffrey Rose:
"It makes little sense to expect individuals to behave differently from their peers; it is more appropriate to seek a general change in behavioural norms and in the circumstances which facilitate their adoption.
Rose, Geoffrey, The strategy of preventive medicine. Oxford (Oxford University Press), 1992, here: 102
Measures to improve public health, relating as they do to such obvious and mundane matters as housing, smoking, and food, may lack the glamour of high-technology medicine, but what they lack in excitement they gain in their potential impact on health, precisely because they deal with the major causes of common disease and disabilities.
Rose, Geoffrey, The strategy of preventive medicine. Oxford (Oxford University Press), 1992, here: 101"
