Abstract

In this chapter, public health (PH) is considered as a diverse field in which a number of disciplines and approaches contribute to establishing a knowledge base for the design and implementation of interventions. I aim to explain why causality is central, yet not always explicit, in both the generation of the knowledge base and in the design process of interventions. I point to the importance of this diversity in PH and thus motivate for a pluralistic approach to causality, which has the potential to strengthen our knowledge base for PH interventions and the communication from PH scholars to decision makers and the general public.
