Unequal Health Summary

Unequal Health: How Inequality Contributes to Health or Illness by Grace Budrys

Unequal Health contrasts popular beliefs about the relevance of such factors as sex, race, poverty, and health habits with research on those factors reported in the scientific literature. While the scientific research has burgeoned in recent years, the results are upsetting some firmly fixed beliefs regarding what people can or should do to improve their health.

Unequal Health Reviews

Unequal Health could not have appeared at a more appropriate time. Inequality in health is arguably the most important public health issue confronting us today and yet, as we write, these inequalities are increasing rapidly. What causes the differences in health between older and younger people? Between men and women? Between Black people and White people? Are these differences inevitable? Are they the result of biology or of discrimination and oppression? These are the absolutely essential questions that Budrys fairly, directly, and eloquently discusses in her book.--Steven Whitman, Mt. Sinai Hospital, Chicago
