Rethinking Social Epidemiology de Patricia O'Campo

Rethinking Social Epidemiology

Editat de Patricia O'Campo, James R. Dunn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2011
To date, much of the empirical work in social epidemiology has demonstrated the existence of health inequalities along a number of axes of social differentiation. However, this research, in isolation, will not inform effective solutions to health inequalities. Rethinking Social Epidemiology provides an expanded vision of social epidemiology as a science of change, one that seeks to better address key questions related to both the causes of social inequalities in health (problem-focused research) as well as the implementation of interventions to alleviate conditions of marginalization and poverty (solution-focused research). This book is ideally suited for emerging and practicing social epidemiologists as well as graduate students and health professionals in related disciplines.

To date, much of the empirical work in social epidemiology has demonstrated the existence of health inequalities along a number of axes of social differentiation. However, this research, in isolation, will not inform effective solutions to health inequalities. Rethinking Social Epidemiology provides an expanded vision of social epidemiology as a science of change, one that seeks to better address key questions related to both the causes of social inequalities in health (problem-focused research) as well as the implementation of interventions to alleviate conditions of marginalization and poverty (solution-focused research). This book is ideally suited for emerging and practicing social epidemiologists as well as graduate students and health professionals in related disciplines.

Caracteristici

Rethinking Social Epidemiology is one of the first texts that links “evidence to action” to ensure that social epidemiologic research can meaningfully affect social and health policy change This book focuses on producing actionable evidence on social inequalities by expanding upon current practice and introducing new social epidemiologic methods Unlike any other social epidemiology texts, this book offers a philosophically informed approach to major scientific debates within the field This book is applicable to a broad audience as it is written for and by social epidemiologists as well as non-academic users of social epidemiologic knowledge
