Social determinants of health: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Social Inequality and Wellbeing - Softcover

"Clearly the book of its time! The authors skilfully address the myriad of health and social injustices that underpin current societal turbulence." Eileen Kaner, Newcastle University "As the UK enters uncharted waters post-Brexit, and neoliberalism and austerity are being challenged, the book is a wake up call to improve the life chances of those marginalised by society." David J. Hunter, Institute of Health and Society, Newcastle University "In an era of austerity and political turmoil, this is a timely, comprehensive and up-to-date reminder that the solutions for widening inequalities, given real commitment, are in our hands." Sir Ian Gilmore, Chairman, Alcohol Health Alliance UK

This book examines the key factors which can lead to poor quality of life, homelessness and reduced mortality. It will enable researchers, front-line workers, managers, service commissioners and politicians to identify and employ the most appropriate health, social and economic interventions to support those at the edge of the community.
