Research on social inequalities has a very long tradition in
sociological research, and discussion of the impact of social
inequalities on health and health care delivery has long been one
of the more important topics covered by medical sociologists. The
research presented in this volume varies in its coverage and its
approach to issues of social inequality in health and health care
delivery. This volume includes both theoretical and quantitative
papers, and deals with complex understandings of macro system
issues, the impact of the patient and individual factors on health
and health care and the impact of the provider and interaction
between providers and patients. The first section focuses on macro
system issues and includes both theoretical approaches to the topic
and quantitative approaches. The second section includes articles
with a greater focus on patient characteristics. These articles
vary greatly in their coverage, with some focusing on the US as a
whole, and others on specific sections of the US or subgroups
within the population such as African American women or the
elderly. The third section focuses on providers and issues of
social inequality and health care delivery. These papers examine
issues of gender, race and poverty as examples of sources of
inequality in modern societies. In contrast to the second section
these papers pay more attention to individual factors and the focus
of the chapters is on aspects of health care providers. Research on
providers of care is another long, important research tradition
within medical sociology. Social Inequalities, Health and Health
Care Delivery should be useful reading for medical sociologists and
people working in other social science disciplines studying
health-related issues. The volume also provides information for
health services researchers, policy analysts and public health
researchers.
