Searching Eyes: Privacy, the State, and Disease Surveillance in America (California/ Milbank Books on Health & the Public) Book

This is the first history of public health surveillance in the United States to span more than a century of conflict and controversy. The practice of reporting the names of those with disease to health authorities inevitably poses questions about the interplay between the imperative to control threats to the public's health and legal and ethical concerns about privacy. Authors Amy L.
