Population health is an emerging field that draws heavily on two disciplines: demography and epidemiology. As demographers have become increasingly interested in health transitions and trajectories and as epidemiologists have become increasingly interested in population-level dynamics, the two fields have converged in many ways. Their separate histories, cultures, languages, organizations and missions, however, have acted as impediments to dialogue among practitioners in the two fields. This volume seeks to improve conversation across the disciplines. It brings together reports on current research that provide examples of work that bridges the two fields, and help identify organizational and institutional pathways that can encourage collaboration.
