{"product_id":"social-determinants-of-health-and-paula-braveman-9780190624118","title":"The Social Determinants of Health and Health Disparities","description":"A growing body of knowledge has revealed the profound impact of the social determinants of health--the social, political, and economic factors apart from health care that influence health. The question is no longer if social factors are important influences on health, but rather how social factors operate and how to address them most effectively, efficiently, and equitably. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocial Determinants of Health and Health Disparities\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive resource for students and educators to understand the wide-ranging effects of social and political factors, including racism, on individual health. Drawing on Paula Braveman's seminal work in health equity, this volume explains how upstream drivers like law and policy are at the beginning of causal chains influencing health, and in particular how systemic issues like racism are core drivers of health outcomes. Each chapter examines how different social determinants of health--such as income, education, stress, work, and racism--are impacted by upstream social factors and how those factors influence health and health disparities through complex pathways. Chapters also include approaches for future practitioners and policymakers to most effectively activate health-promoting pathways while interrupting health-damaging ones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComplete with chapter summaries and discussion questions, \u003cem\u003eSocial Determinants of Health and Health Disparities \u003c\/em\u003eis the definitive classroom guide to understanding and addressing social disparities in health, particularly racial and socioeconomic disparities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Braveman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190624116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190624118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 7.81w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Paula Braveman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077872152831,"sku":"9780190624118","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5924815e-2024-44f3-8eea-aee33ae46d13.jpg?v=1685472238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-determinants-of-health-and-paula-braveman-9780190624118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
