Social epidemiology is the study of how the social world influences
-- and in many cases defines -- the fundamental determinants of
health. This link was substantiated in the first edition of Social
Epidemiology, and the generation of research that followed has
fundamentally changed the way we understand epidemiology and public
health. This much-awaited second edition elevates the field again,
first by codifying the last decade of research, then by extending
it to examine how public policies impact health. The new edition
includes: * 11 fully updated chapters, including entries on the
links between health and discrimination, income inequality, social
networks, and emotion * Four all-new chapters on the role of
policies in shaping health, including how to translate evidence
into action with multi-level interventions * Updated references,
detailing the best research over the last two decades The result is
a bold, brilliant text that will serve the new world of
epidemiology in which scientists both observe health and design
interventions to improve it. Social Epidemiology again sets an
intellectual agenda and provides an essential foundation for those
interested in social determinants of health around the world.
