"Health Disparities Among Under-served Populations: Implications
for Research, Policy and Praxis", focuses on a topic of national
concern. Both disparities in health status and in health care
reflect the continuing power of race, social class, and gender as
forces that define the social determinants of health and the
social, biological, and physical environments where groups live.
Chapters focus on key issues that include substance abuse,
psychological coping, trauma, infant mortality, HPV, environmental
hazards, teen pregnancy, homeless youth, racism, discrimination,
and cultural competence. The scholars who have contributed to this
volume showcase their insight and keen analyses of these pressing
issues through a variety of lenses, including but not limited to,
sociology, economics, psychology, education, public health,
history, urban studies, nursing, and environmental activism. This
anthology critically examines the devastating impact of race,
class, and gender on the health and health care of African
Americans, Latinos and American Indians, with particular focus on
children and adolescents.
