"Class/socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, physical location and social relationships all play a part in determining our chances of maintaining good health and securing good health care. And in the complex western societies of today, quick-fix solutions to health inequalities are unlikely to be found. Based on current research and experience, this book uses a variety of approaches from different disciplines to explore the issues in four sections: Ethnic and Socio-economic Inequalities in Health, Understanding Inequalities, Intervention Strategies, and Intervention Experiences."--BOOK JACKET.
