Conclusion --Appendix: Contested Illnesses Research Group's Nuts And Bolts And Lessons Learned --References --List Of Contributors --IndexThe politics and science of health and disease remain contested terrain among scientists, health practitioners, policy makers, industry, communities, and the public. Stakeholders in disputes about illnesses or conditions disagree over their fundamental causes as well as how they should be treated and prevented. This thought-provoking book crosses disciplinary boundaries by engaging with both public health policy and social science, asserting that science, activism, and policy are not separate issues and showing how the contribution of environmental factors in disease is often overlooked.Environmental healthSocial medicineHypersensitivityOrganizationsHealth OccupationsSociologyDisorders of Environmental OriginSocioeconomic FactorsPopulation CharacteristicsSocial SciencesDiseaseImmune System DiseasesHealth Care Economics and OrganizationsDelivery of Health CareSocial ChangeEnvironmental IllnessConsumer OrganizationsEnvironmental HealthEnvironmental health.Social medicine.Hypersensitivity.Organizations.Health Occupations.Sociology.Disorders of Environmental Origin.Socioeconomic Factors.Population Characteristics.Social Sciences.Disease.Immune System Diseases.Health Care Economics and Organizations.Delivery of Health Care.Social Change.Environmental Illness.Consumer Organizations.Environmental Health.362.1Brown Philedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMorello-Frosch Racheledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtZavestoski Stephenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910953266303321Contested Illnesses4451499UNINA
