Studying Health Inequalities: Evidence for Public Health Practice
Autor Jonathan Wistow, Tim Blackman, David S. Byrne, Gerald Wistowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2015
Addressing the implications of current British public health policies on the equal delivery of health services, this book—part of the Evidence for Public Health Practice series—explicitly identifies inequalities in health service practices. It offers an applied approach to researching, understanding, and dealing with this issue. Drawing on complexity theory, the authors use case studies to illustrate the problems, to discuss them in real-life terms, and to illuminate their complexities for students and practitioners of public health, health promotion, and health policy.

Recenzii
“An absolute ‘must read’ for healthcare practitioners and social scientists, this book makes a compelling case for ‘the way forward’ for policy makers.”
“An excellent overview of research on health inequality and measures to reduce them. The examples, while drawn mainly from the United Kingdom, have international relevance for the debate about ‘what works’ in tackling these inequalities.”
“This is a very important book and a must-read for anyone interested in doing applied social science in today’s political climate where evidence and complexity matter.”
