Achieving Health Equity: Context, Controversies, and Remedies

Context, Controversies, and Solutions
Focusing on social justice and practical solutions, this edition confronts enduring health disparities with updated data and new chapters on emerging racial and ethnic groups. It examines a broad spectrum of communities, providing clear insights and remedies to empower action against inequities.
Featuring a refreshed title, Achieving Health Equity: Context, Controversies, and Remedies, Patti Rose's third edition maintains a distinct focus on social justice issues associated with health disparities. With an emphasis on solutions, this edition, like its predecessor, centers on racial and ethnic emerging majorities, acknowledging the persistence of health disparities while providing actionable insights on why they exist and how to address them. By providing this solution-oriented approach, the book aims to engage and guide students, academics, communities, health professionals, and others in contributing to resolving the problems linked to health disparities.
