Thorough discussions of health and health care emphasize how social forces can prevent or foster illness, affect cultural ideas about illness and disability, structure health care institutions, and affect the lives of health care workers. Race, class, gender, and disability issues are highlighted throughout and the social causes of health and illness in less developed nations and the diverse ways that nations provide (or don't provide) health care are also explored.
