This book focuses on the modelling of contemporary health and social problems, especially those considered a major burden to communities, governments and taxpayers, such as smoking, alcoholism, drug use, and heart disease. Based on a series of papers presented at a recent conference hosted by the Leverhulme-funded Tipping Points project at the University of Durham, this book illustrates a broad range of modelling approaches. Such a diverse collection demonstrates that an interdisciplinary approach is essential to modelling tipping points in health and social problems, and the assessment of asWiley series in computational and quantitative social science.Social medicineMathematical modelsHealth behaviorMathematical modelsSocial medicineMathematical models.Health behaviorMathematical models.362.1015118Bellomo N.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910131282803321Tipping points2273397UNINA
