How are behavioral scientists increasingly involved to advise
global decision-makers in the United Nations and elsewhere?" In
2020, the Psychology Coalition at the United Nations (PCUN)
launched a bold new series of books, describing how evidence-based
behavioral research is increasingly used by United Nations and
other decision-makers, to address global issues. These issues
reflect the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for
2030-such as health, poverty, education, peace, gender equality,
and climate change. This PCUN volume brings together 37 experts in
14 concise chapters, to focus on health in two parts: (1) a
data-based overview of diverse trends in global health-such as
COVID, opioids, dementia, and disabilities. (2) An examination of
underlying issues in global health-such as race, gender, LGBTQ+,
and health disparities (detailed below). The chapters are
co-authored by leading global experts as well as "rising star"
students from many nations--offering readers a concise overview of
each topic, a glossary of key terms, study questions, and
bibliography. This volume is suitable as a textbook for diverse
courses in psychology, social work, cross-cultural and
international studies.
