This timely Handbook provides an essential guide to the major
topics, perspectives, and scholars in the sociology of health and
medicine. Contributors prove the immense value of a sociological
understanding of central health and medical concerns, including
public health, the COVID-19 pandemic, and new medical technologies.
Through critically analysing the wide variety of approaches taken
by sociologists of health and medicine, this Handbook explores what
makes the field distinctive. Chapters cover the full human life
span and review key theoretical viewpoints as well as significant
empirical themes, drawing on cutting-edge research. The diverse
selection of contributors offer insights into important areas of
health and medical development including precision medicine,
epidemics and pandemics, data-intensive medicine, AI, neuroscience,
and future hospitals. The chapters also examine the implications of
COVID-19 across various domains of health, medicine, and
healthcare. Covering key questions, debates, and emerging
perspectives, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for
students and scholars in sociology, public health, and science and
technology studies. It will also be an important guide for
policymakers and practitioners seeking to develop effective health
policies and programs.
