About this title

Synopsis

Health social science synthesizes a wide range of knowledge in order to understand and solve complex health problems. This volume presents ten case studies that illustrate some of the best practice in health social science in developing countries. Each study addresses the critical question of how social and behavioral science approaches can make a difference in improving significant health problems. Examples drawn from Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific look at problems such as AIDS, STDs, smoking, heart disease, and psychological stress.
