This contributed volume is the first-known collection of essays
that brings together scholarly review, critiques, and primary and
secondary data to assess how sociocultural factors influence health
behavior in South Asian women. The essays are authored by working
scholars or healthcare practitioners from Bangladesh, India, and
Pakistan. In the chapters, the contributors acknowledge social,
economic, and environmental factors to recommend improved
interventions and health policy for women of the region. Studies on
South Asian women's health have targeted clinical evidence, with
less attention on social and environmental factors driving health
recovery and health outcomes. The South Asian region, more than any
other part of the world, is driven by traditional and cultural
forces that are possibly the most significant factors determining a
woman's health awareness and her rights to adopt healthy behavior
or pursue health recovery. Women of the region share a common
culture and political history, and there are benefits to
understanding their problems collectively in order to design joint
improvements in health policy for women. Salient, but neglected,
socio-political areas that influence health behavior and health
outcomes in women of the region are covered in the chapters
including: Oral Narrations of Social Rejection Suffered by South
Asian Women with Irreversible Health Conditions Women's Role in
Decision-Making for Health Care in South Asia Poverty, Health
Coverage, and Credit Opportunities for South Asian Women Refugee,
Displaced, and Climate-Affected Women of South Asia and Their
Health Challenges The Political Sociology of South Asian Women's
Health The Sociology of South Asian Women's Health is a useful
resource for students, researchers, and academicians, especially
those interested in public health, gender, social policy, and
occupational management, as well as healthcare practitioners,
administrators, health and public policy-makers, government
officers, and scholars of South Asian studies.
