Understanding Health Determinants: Explanatory Theories for Social Epidemiology (EPUB)
Through the desolate landscape of humanity, I’ve been flaunting my wild zeal of a baronet’s life.
This book collects a variety of theories that explain social disparities in health. Everywhere in the world, people with less privileges die younger and have more health problems than the wealthier. Decades of research have documented this truth, but we still don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms by which social conditions ultimately affect the biological processes that result in disease. Explanations have been proposed from various fields – economics, psychology, behavioral science, geography, and neuroscience – each of these fields contribute to parts of the overall process. However, very few texts combine these ideas into a comprehensive explanation of the world.
Through a review of ideas and theories from multiple disciplines, the author suggests how these ideas and theories can be combined to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how social influences enter the skin and affect health or disease. Alongside individual health, the book also elucidates the causes of social disparities in health. It ends with a suggestion of a set of hypotheses that transcend disciplinary silos. Topics that were discussed include:
Social Inegalities in Health
Explanations and Justifications for Social epidemiology
Social and Economic Theories of Disease to explain the patterns of disease.
Biologically-based paths connect social factors to health.
Theoretical Models of Health behavior
The Work Environment and Health
Social Networks, Social Support and Health
Healthy Influences: Coping and Control
The link between personality and health
Understanding the Health Determinants: Explanatory Theories of Social Epidemology is a book for students of epidemiology, health sciences, health policy, and psychology as well as social science students who are interested in health. It will also be of interest to general readers, and can serve as a source of information for researchers in the field of epidemiology and the health sciences who are intended to study the social factors involved in health. The book discusses theories that could be examined in these kinds of research.
