Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book reframes the opioid crisis as far more than a story of reckless prescribing or pharmaceutical misconduct. It uncovers the deeper socioeconomic, political, and cultural forces that have shaped one of the most devastating public health emergencies in modern U.S. history. Through clear analysis and compelling evidence, it challenges readers to reconsider what they think they know and why conventional narratives fall short.Moving seamlessly across disciplines, the book draws from econometrics, qualitative fieldwork, spatial modeling, and socioecological theory to illuminate the structural and place-based contexts in which addiction takes root. It exposes how declining economic opportunity, eroding social cohesion, regulatory contradictions, and distorted media portrayals have interacted to produce widespread vulnerability. Each chapter reveals overlooked mechanisms, from the consequences of free market healthcare to the lived experiences of stigma, trauma, and marginalization.Offering more than critique, the book charts a path forward. Through case studies, innovative prevention frameworks, and community centered solutions, it outlines a prevention approach focused on addressing root causes rather than symptoms. The result is a vital, multidimensional resource for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and anyone seeking a deeper, more actionable understanding of the opioid crisis and the systemic change required to end it.…
