OBS

Expression désignant les activités scientifiques qui contribuent aux fondements scientifiques de la pratique, des services et des systèmes de la santé publique. Jusqu'au début du XIXe siècle, les activités scientifiques se limitaient aux sciences de la nature et à la biologie, en s’étayant parfois sur une logique empirique. Depuis ce temps, l'assise scientifique des sciences de la santé publique s’est étendue à de nombreux secteurs, dont les statistiques démographiques, l'épidémiologie, les sciences de l'environnement, la biostatistique, la microbiologie, les sciences sociales et comportementales, la démographie, la génétique, la nutrition, la biologie moléculaire et d’autres encore.
