I saw the sentence below in a scientific book.
Also find in this book are various strategies to assess patient health factors.......
I couldn't understand the "Also find in this book" part. What kind of structure it is?

1I think you have misquoted: it should be "Also found in this book ...". Google says this passage occurs in Samdani, Amer et al., Neuromuscular Spine Deformity, 2018 – StoneyB on hiatus Sep 3 '18 at 13:01

Yes, you're right! But I still don't understand. – Nevzat Doğukan Erbek Sep 3 '18 at 16:44
"Also" - conjunctive adverb, connects the idea of the previous sentence, (i.e. "In this book are ideas about potatoes. Also found in this book are potato recipes.")
"found in this book" - adjective phrase, used in this context to describe the subject of the verb "to be"
"are" - present tense, third person, plural conjugation of the verb "to be"
"various strategies to assess patient health factors" - subject phrase, where "strategies" is the specific noun in question and the other specify the kind of strategies
The meaning of the sentence, then, is that: [In addition to any previous sentences about the matter], [various strategies to assess patient health factors] [are] [in the contents of this book].
