Contemporary Health Studies provides a user-friendly introduction to current issues and key debates in understanding and promoting health. Its up-to-date, global focus places a strong emphasis on the social, political and environmental dimensions of health.
Part I sets the scene by looking closely at the definition of 'health' and outlining the aims and purpose of health studies. Part II explores the different disciplines that underpin health studies, incorporating new theoretical frameworks to help readers understand health. Part III applies this knowledge to addressing the determinants of health, including chapters on individual factors, public health, policy and international perspectives. Each chapter contains carefully developed learning features designed to highlight the fundamentals of each topic, to apply these to in-depth case studies - from global antibiotic resistance to the challenge and promise of digital data - and to pose questions for reflection and debate.
This new edition is an essential guide for undergraduate health students, written by three authors with a wealth of teaching experience in this area. Their book will inspire readers to consider the human experience of health within contemporary global society as mediated by individual, societal and international contexts.
