Presenting current theoretical foundations, cultural context, and evidence-based models and interventions all in one, Health Equity: A Solutions-Focused Approach 2nd edition continues to provide students with the basis to achieve greater health equity outcomes. Edited by award-winning authors and featuring expert insights from various disciplines including public health, sociology, psychology, and medicine, this textbook transcends conventional discourse on risk factors and disparities by introducing health equity initiatives and programs that can improve public health research and practice.
