New Directions in the Sociology of Health links a number of
contemporary issues to a broader sociological framework. It
discusses health policy and programmes aimed at public concerns
like AIDS, drug use, tranquilizer dependency and alcohol abuse. The
work of a para-medical and lay workers - not least women - in
health and prevention is a major focus, with particular attention
being paid to the elderly and ethnic groups. Papers dealing with
health at work, health in the home, and public health policy
complete a collection which illustrates how sociology in the 1990s
can contribute to the prevention of illness and the maintenance of
good health.
