内容説明

`The authors have done a fine job of producing a book that will be of great use to three audiences: (1) graduate students and uppper-level undergraduate students enrolled in public health courses; (2) sociobehavioural researchers with an interest in community health, broadly defined; and (3) practising health professionals who are interested in the way that social and behavioural factors affect health, both as antecedents of and responses to the occurrence of health problems' - Critical Public Health This book applies a rich body of knowledge and theory from social and behavioural sciences to contemporary health issues. A guiding principle of the book is the importance of social context and cultural construction in the analysis of health problems. It addresses the multiple layers of influence on health, enlarging the dominant 'risk factor' approach to health behaviour by giving sufficient attention to the social environment. The book draws from many disciplines (sociology, anthropology, social psychology, demography, gerontology, economics, and history), and uses examples and case studies specifically from the forefront of public health. The book is especially useful for the way that it discusses core concepts and models and applies them to real world problems.
