Where people live matters to their health. Health improvement
strategies often target where people live, but do they work?
Placing health tackles this question through an examination of
England's Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy and its health targets. It
evaluates the evidence base for the strategy, compares experiences
from the United States and elsewhere in Europe, and illustrates the
relevance of complexity theory to area-based health improvement
work. The book brings together these topical issues with a social
science analysis of current programmes based on the methods and
concepts of complexity thinking. It concludes by setting out how
local action based on these ideas offers a new approach to
area-based health improvement work. Placing health is aimed at
researchers, academics and students in the social and health
sciences with an interest in area-based health improvement work, as
well as practitioners in health services, local government and
voluntary agencies working on neighbourhood renewal and health
projects.
