AN ESSENTIAL NEW RESOURCE ON A FUNDAMENTAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH
Sleep, along with the sleep-related behaviors that impact sleep
quality, have emerged as significant determinants of health and
well-being across populations. An emerging body of research has
confirmed that sleep is strongly socially patterned, following
trends along lines of socioeconomic status, race, immigration
status, age, work, and geography. The Social Epidemiology of Sleep
serves as both an introduction to sleep epidemiology and a
synthesis of the most important and exciting research to date,
including: * An introduction to sleep epidemiology, including
methods of assessment and their validity, the descriptive
epidemiology of sleep patterns and disorders, associations with
health, and basic biology * What we know about the variation of
sleep patterns and disorders across populations, including
consideration of sleep across the lifespan and within special
populations * Major social determinants of sleep (including
socioeconomic status, immigration status, neighborhood contexts,
and others) based on the accumulated research With editors from
both population science and medicine, combined with contributions
from psychology, sociology, demography, geography, social
epidemiology, and medicine, this text codifies a new field at the
intersection of how we sleep and the social and behavioral factors
that influence it.
