This volume deals with the topic of health inequalities and health
disparities. The volume is divided into five sections. The first
section includes an introductory look at the issue of health care
inequalities and disparities and also an introduction to the
volume. One of the backdrops to this topic in the United States was
The National Healthcare Disparities Report and its focus on the
ability of Americans to access health care and variation in the
quality of care. Disparities related to socioeconomic status were
included, as were disparities linked to race and ethnicity and the
report also tried to explore the relationship between
race/ethnicity and socioeconomic position, as explained in more
detail in the first article in the book. The second article
discusses a newer overall approach to issues related to health
inequalities and health disparities.
The remaining four sections of the book address more specific
topics relating to inequalities and disparities. The second section
examines racial and ethnic inequalities and disparities. The third
section includes articles that address the issue from the
perspective of research about health care providers and health care
facilities. The last two sections of the book focus on consumers
and topics of health care disparities, with Section 4 focused on
issues related to substance abuse, mental health and related
concerns. Section 5 includes articles looking at issues of
vulnerable women, women with breast cancer and people with
colorectal cancer.
Inequalities and Disparities in Health Care and Health is important
reading for medical sociologists and people working in other social
science disciplines studying health-related issues.The volume also
provides vital information for health services researchers, policy
analysts and public health researchers.
* A great resource for health services researchers, policy analysts
and public health researchers

and disparities
