This open access book applies insights from the network perspective
in health research to explain the reproduction of health
inequalities. It discusses the extant literature in this field that
strongly correlates differences in social status with health
behaviours and outcomes, and add to this literature by providing a
coherent theoretical explanation for the causes of these health
inequalities. It also shows that much research is needed on the
precise factors and the social and socio-psychological mechanisms
that are at play in creating and cementing social inequalities in
health behaviours. While social support and social relations have
received considerable attention within social and behavioural
science research on health inequalities, this book considers the
whole network of interpersonal relations, structures and influence
mechanisms. This is the perspective of the social network
analytical approach which has recently gained much attention in
health research. The chapters of this book cover state-of-the-art
research, open research questions, and perspectives for future
research. The book provides network analyses on health inequalities
from the perspective of sociology, psychology, and public health
and is of interest to a wide range of scholars, students and
practitioners trying to understand how health inequalities are
reproduced across generations.

Moderne, funktional differenzierte, gleichzeitig aber vertikal
stratifizierte Gesellschaften sind urban gepragt. Ihre
Ungleichheitsstrukturen haben nicht nur soziale, sondern auch
raumliche Dimensionen, die sich in Differenzen innerhalb von
Stadten, zwischen verschiedenen Stadten, aber auch im Verhaltnis
zwischen Stadten und dem landlich gepragten Raum bzw. zwischen
Zentrum und Peripherie ausdrucken. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes
bringen zwei Bereiche der Soziologie, die Sozialstrukturanalyse und
die Stadt-und Regionalsoziologie, die empirisch oft kooperierten,
aber sich seltener uber hierfur relevante Konzepte verstandigten,
in einen Dialog. Die Beitrage beschreiben und analysieren soziale
und raumliche Ungleichheiten in stadtischen oder landlichen
Lebenswelten und werfen gleichzeitig die Frage auf, wie die
aktuelle Gestalt raumlicher Ungleichheiten konturiert und
produziert wird."
