... Takes a practical focus to introducing researchers and graduate
students to the connections between population health and social
justice, the variety of approaches to studying those connections
from an interdisciplinary vantage point, the creation of
interventions to address disparities, and potential applications of
these approaches for research. The editors and contributing authors
succeed with a book that provides examples of and formulas for
interdisciplinary research in a variety of fields related to urban
health. The authors do a superb job of tying the chapters together,
beginning with why these approaches to research and practice are
warranted and ending with potential limitations and benefits. This
book brings practical knowledge together from a variety of
disciplines to enhance population health and social justice
research.
