Attribution
Constance A. Nathanson
Publication Details
Book, Russell Sage Foundation, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
In Disease Prevention as Social Change, sociologist Constance Nathanson argues that public health is inherently political, and explores the social struggles behind public health interventions by the governments of four industrialized democracies. Comparing the history of four public health dilemmas–tuberculosis and infant mortality at the turn of the last century, and more recently smoking and AIDS–in the United States, France, Britain, and Canada, Nathanson examines the cultural and institutional factors that shaped reform movements and led each government to respond differently to the same health challenges.
