Place is an important element in understanding health and health
care disparities. More that merely a geographic location, place is
a socio-ecological force with detectable effects on social life,
independent well-being, and health. Despite the general enthusiasm
for the study of place and the potential it could have for a better
understanding of the distribution of health in different
communities, research is at a difficult crossroads because of
disagreements in how the construct should be conceptualized and
measured. This edited volume incorporates an cross-disciplinary
approach to the study of place, in order to come up with a
comprehensive and useful definition of place. Topics covered
include: Social Inequalities, Historical Definitions of Place,
Biology and Place, Rural vs. Urban Places, Racialization of a
Place, Migration, Sacred Places, Technological Innovations An
understanding of place is essential for health care professionals,
as interventions often do not have the same effects in the clinic
as they do in varied, naturalistic social settings.
