The authors of this groundbreaking text define social epidemiology as the study of        the social determinants of health, implying that an important goal of public health        is to identify and address factors in the social environment that may be related to        health outcomes. In the first systematic account of this field, they focus on the        major social variables that influence health, including socioeconomic position,        income distribution, race/ethnicity, gender, social networks/social support, social        capital and community cohesion, work environment, life transitions, and affective        psychological states. Individual chapters describe the conceptualization and        measurement of each social variable, as well as the empirical evidence linking them        to a broad range of mental, physical, and behavioral health outcomes. The volume        draws on the expertise of an internationally renowned group of scholars,        representing the diversity of disciplines relevant to this emerging field, from        sociology and psychology to physiology and medicine. The approaches covered by the        chapters span the range from formulating and testing hypotheses about the links        between social conditions and health to designing and implementing interventions and        social policies to improve population health. The challenge of persistent social        inequalities in health across the globe makes this a timely publication. The book        will be an indispensable introduction to the field for students, researchers,        practitioners, and policy analysts.
