The Social Determinants of Health by Kathryn Strother Ratcliff

The Social Determinants of Health by Kathryn Strother Ratcliff

This timely book takes seriously the idea of understanding how our social world not individual responsibility nor the health care system is the primary determinant of our health.

"This book offers a fresh, original, and much needed approach to social determinants of healthRatcliff shows - through straightforward, clear writing punctuated with timely and riveting examples - how the conditions of life that we take for granted are created and maintained. At the same time, she strikes a balance by underscoring both human agency and the realities of power dynamics, adding an invaluable sociological perspective. Students will love this book!"
Professor Mary Zimmerman, University of Kansas School of Medicine

"What we breathe in, eat, and drink; where we work and live; how we travel - each, done badly, can damage health. Kathryn Strother Ratcliff takes us on a wonderfully informative journey to examine the governmental and industrial causes of exposures that determine health."
Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Chair of the World Health Organization's Commission on Social Determinants of Health (2005-2008)
