Drinking Careers: A Twenty-Five Year Study of Three Navajo Populations
ISBN: 9780300060003 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book, the first long-term follow-up study of alcohol use among Native Americans, a physician/sociologist and an anthropologist examine the data on three groups of Navajos whom they first interviewed about their use of alcohol in 1966. The authors find verification for their initial hypothesis that young men who would have been classified as alcoholic often stop or moderate their drinking as they age. They also find that there is considerable diversity in patterns of alcohol use among both women and men.

Regional Cultures and Mortality in America
ISBN: 9781107079632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Across the contiguous 48 states, populations in states with more activist civic cultures have lower mortality than states that do not follow this model. Several different factors can be pointed to as causes for this discrepancy - net income, class inequality, and the history of settlement in each of the different states and regions. These observations are true of Non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans but not of American Indians, and Hispanics, neither of which is fully integrated into the state political culture and economy in which it resides. In Regional Cultures and Mortality in...

Disease and Social Diversity: The European Impact on the Health of Non-Europeans
ISBN: 9780195108699 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book discusses the various social, political, and cultural forces that shape the distribution of diseases in populations. It is based on a series of comparative studies of the historical and contemporary disease patterns of the indigenous peoples of America north of Mexico, Polynesia, and Australia. The purpose of the comparisons is to control in a quasi-experimental way certain crucial variables in order to examine the impact on health of other variables. The comparisons are made at increasingly more refined levels of analysis. Thus, once disease ecology has been held roughly constant,...

The Health of Populations: General Theories and Particular Realitites
ISBN: 9780195308075 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the maelstrom of current public health debate over the social determinants of health, this book offers a well-balanced discussion on the roots of prevalent strains of thought on the matter. While this area of research deals in complex problems, it is often dominated by those who deploy rather categorical, partisan positions, citing from a wide range of contradictory statistical studies. Stephen Kunitz brings a measured, balanced and independent perspective to bear on the debate, taking a step back from current arguments to look at the fundamental issues through a socio-historical lens....
