Price 32.82 - 45.00 USD
Quick-fix solutions to health inequalities are unlikely to be found in complex modern societies. Class or socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, and physical location all play their part in determining the chances of maintaining good health and securing good health care. This book — a study of health inequalities in Aotearoa, New Zealand — uses a variety of approaches from different disciplines, exploring the issues in four sections: ethnic and socio-economic inequalities in health, understanding inequalities, intervention strategies, and intervention experiences. The book includes wide-ranging discussions by community leaders, policy makers and implementers, epidemiologists, public health researchers, economists, sociologists, and medical professionals. It provides a way to understand and resolve health inequalities.
