Summary note
This book addresses social injustice and its relationship to public health. Major sections of the book focus on how the health of specific population groups is affected by social injustice, how specific areas of public health and medical care are affected by social injustice, and what needs to be done to reduce social injustice and its impact on health. This book will be of value to a wide range of practitioners and students in health and human services, including medicine, nursing and social services, as well as in law and other fields.
