About this product

Product Information

This book introduces students and researchers to the wealth of scientific information about health disparities among Americans. While the scientific research has burgeoned in recent years, the results are upsetting some firmly fixed beliefs regarding what people can or should do to improve their health. Unequal Health contrasts popular beliefs about the relevance of such factors as sex, race, poverty, and health habits with research on those factors reported in the scientific literature. Budrys extends her analysis to more complicated topics, namely, access to medical care, genetics, and stress. The final chapters of the book switch from a focus on the health of individuals to the health profile of whole populations. These chapters deal with research on the relationship between social inequality and health status--generally identified as social epidemiology or the study of population health. Budrys' synthesis of key research challenges basic tenets of the American belief system that promote the idea that all of us could improve our health significantly if we simply chose to do so. Her books shows health and well-being in America are directly tied to economic status--a relationship that extends well beyond obvious explanations related to poverty.

Reviews
Unequal Health could not have appeared at a more appropriate time. Inequality in health is arguably the most important public health issue confronting us today and yet, as we write, these inequalities are increasing rapidly. What causes the differences in health between older and younger people? Between men and women? Between Black people and White people? Are these differences inevitable? Are they the result of biology or of discrimination and oppression? These are the absolutely essential questions that Budrys fairly, directly, and eloquently discusses in her book., Writing in a user-friendly style, Budrys offers a clear and simple explanation of the major factors contributing to the inequities, with the caveat that readers will be left with more questions than definitive answers. Recommended.

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
