The Sociology of Health Inequalities by Mel Bartley

The Sociology of Health Inequalities by Mel Bartley

Leading researchers in the social sciences describe and explain the unequal chances of long and healthy life between social groups, ethnic groups, men and women and geographical areas.

"The editors and the authors are to be congratulated on making the individual parts and the whole interesting, readable and coherent" International Journal of Epidemiology 1999

"The Sociology of Health and Illness tackles health inequality with the overarching goal of linking medicine and social science. The social dynamics of health inequalities and social and spatial inequities in health are assessed. Contributors address morality, crime, psychological perspectives, lay knowledge, the utility of geography, sex differences, genetic and ethnic differences and economic factors." Sociological Abstracts , 2000
