Description: "This text, unlike other volumes in the field, draws from many disciplines (sociology, anthropology, social psychology, demography, gerontology, economics, and history) and uses examples and case studies specifically from the forefront of public health. Students, researchers, and practitioners will find this a valuable primer of core concepts and models applied to real world problems."--Jacket.
