Description
Policy makers and medical professionals are becoming increasingly aware that health is determined by a number of factors, many of them social. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the social determinants of health, analyzing the spectrum of socioeconomic and cultural factors that play a role in health outcomes. Drawing on experts from a wide range of fields, and bringing together academics and practitioners, Social Determinants of Health will enable researchers, policy makers, and front-line medical and social service personnel to identify and employ the most appropriate interventions to support people whose position on the margins of society puts their health at risk.
