Why do societies experience higher rates of mortality after
economic recession? What accounts for the persistent social class
differences in mortality rates? How do we explain the health status
differences between men and women, blacks and whites, and different
communities or cultures? How do some families create more healthful
environments for their children? How is stress generated in the
workplace? Such fundamental questions about the social determinants
of health are discussed in depth in this wide-ranging and
authoritative book. Well-known contributors from North America and
Europe gather and assess the evidence for the diverse pathways by
which society influences health and provides conceptual frameworks
for understanding these relationships. The book opens with a broad
review of research on the social environment's contribution to
health status and then addresses particular social factors: the
family, the community, culture, class, race and gender, the
economy, and the workplace. The concluding two chapters examine the
contribution of medicine to the improved health of Americans and
recast the health policy debate in a broad social policy context.
