Critical Epidemiology and the People's Health

Beschreibung

How can we create a more rigorous and effective epidemiology? Critical Epidemiology and the People's Health invites readers to the next great paradigm in public health by promoting a progressive, transdisciplinary, intercultural, community-building approach--one that is radically divergent from the presiding object-based, empiricist mode of thinking.
