Contemporary Health Studies provides an accessible introduction to
current issues and key debates in understanding and promoting
health. Its up-to-date, global focus places a strong emphasis on
the social, political and environmental dimensions of health. Part
One sets the scene by looking closely at the definition of 'health'
and outlining the aims and purpose of health studies. Part Two
explores the different disciplines that underpin health studies,
such as sociology, psychology, anthropology and health psychology,
incorporating new theoretical frameworks to help readers understand
health. Part Three applies this knowledge to address the
determinants of health, including chapters on individual factors,
the role of public health, the latest policy influences on health
and the growing importance of the global context. Each chapter
contains contemporary statistics and evidence alongside carefully
developed learning features designed to highlight the fundamentals
of each topic, to apply these to in-depth case studies - from
global antibiotic resistance to the challenge and promise of
digital data -, and to pose questions for reflection and debate.
Contemporary Health Studies is an essential guide for undergraduate
health students written by three authors who have a wealth of
teaching experience in this subject area. Their book will inspire
readers to consider the human experience of health within
contemporary global society as it is mediated by individual,
societal and global contexts.
