Health Equity: A Solutions-Focused Approach is a comprehensive
textbook that illustrates existing conditions of health disparities
across a range of populations in the United States, positions those
disparities within the broader sociopolitical framework that leads
to their existence, and most importantly presents specific ways in
which health equity solutions can be designed and implemented.
Presenting current theoretical foundations, cultural context, and
evidence-based models and interventions all in one, this textbook
provides students with the basis to achieve greater health equity
in their communities. Edited by award-winning authors and featuring
contributions from diverse experts in public health, sociology,
psychology, and medicine, this groundbreaking text goes beyond a
traditional approach to risk factors and disparities and emphasizes
the central role health equity initiatives must play in public
health research and practice. The book is divided into three
sections, with Section One focusing on providing the context of
health equity research and practice. Chapters are structured in a
way that both new and experienced students in the field will
develop a deeper understanding of topics such as prejudice and
discrimination; frameworks and theories; and research and
collaboration approaches. Section Two addresses the current
knowledge of specific populations impacted by issues related to
health equity, including African American, Latino and Hispanic,
Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and
Pacific Islander, LGBTQ, Veteran, People with Disabilities, and
many more. Authored or co-authored by members of the community
being discussed, each of these chapters summarizes how health
disparities impact the group, ongoing population-specific models of
disparities and equity, emerging programs for achieving health
equity, coverage of the most relevant aspects of intersectionality,
and concluding exercises such as case studies and current events.
Section Three then highlights the role of cultural humility in
achieving health equity. With its solutions-focused and
community-affirming approach, Health Equity provides graduate and
undergraduate students of public health with evidence-based models
to help advance health through diversity, inclusion, and social
justice. Key Features: Origins and Theories - Discusses the
