Structural Inequalities and Health Outcomes for Chronic Disease provides a conceptual framework for understanding existing evidence and guides the research around promising interventions and policies. In addition, it demonstrates how structural inequalities impact health and presents ways the healthcare system can participate in the solution. The book covers major chronic diseases and the special populations impacted by structural inequalities. Those working and studying public health, medicine, nursing, pharmacology will find this work of interest, as well as diversity and disparity scholars and health policymakers.
