Although interest in social epidemiology has grown exponentially over the past three decades, there is a glaring need for an edited handbook that provides a contemporary, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art interdisciplinary survey of established and emerging areas of study to better support the training and research activity of scholars and students.
The
De Gruyter Handbook of Social Epidemiology
is an indispensable reference work that brings together the contributions of leading social epidemiologists from around the world. Our interdisciplinary approach represents a range of approaches to social epidemiology, including anthropology, demography, gerontology, medicine, psychology, public health, social work, and sociology. By highlighting established and emerging areas within the field of social epidemiology, this volume offers an invaluable resource for scholars and students who are interested in the ways in which population health intersects with aging, socioeconomic determinants, race and ethnicity, migration, sex and gender, sexual orientation, social relationships, religion, neighborhood context, environmental ecology, area income inequality, and political determinants.
