Purchase options and add-ons
The authors of this excellent text define social epidemiology as the epidemiologic study of the social distribution and social determinants of states of health, implying that the aim is to identify socio-environmental exposures which may be related to a broad range of physical and mental health outcomes. In the first systematic account of this field, they focus on methodological approaches but draw widely from related disciplines such as sociology, psychology, physiology, and medicine in the effort to develop and evaluate testable hypotheses about the pathways between social conditions and health. The persistent patterns of social inequalities in health make this a timely publication.

A scholarly book focused on society and health from a population perspective. The approach to epidemiology opens up a number of challenges to common ways of thinking and encourages the reader to be critical when reading research.

The book is quite easy to read! It is really good for a beginner in the field of Social Epidemiology.
I will recommend it for anybody who wants to learn more about health disparities among various classes and social groups.

Good overview but lacks clear writing style overall. Tedious to read at times and therefore a disappointment for the MPH student being introduced to this burgeoning field.
