Publisher: Emerald Publishing Limited


This upcoming volume in Research in the Sociology of Health Care delves into a diverse range of crucial social factors and their profound impact on health and disparities in healthcare, both within the United States and across the globe. The authors of this volume engage in an insightful exploration of issues related to infectious diseases, various chronic health conditions, and their intersection with societal values. A dedicated section focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, encompassing topics such as kidney disease, face masks, social attitudes, pandemic experiences in rural and urban regions of the United States, and in urban India. Other chapters delve into broader international perspectives, including Nepal, Ecuador, and cross-national comparisons. Several papers specifically address healthcare system challenges within the United States, encompassing microhospitals in Texas, evidence-based medicine, and trends in health disparities among the Latina population.

Written from a sociological and interdisciplinary social science perspective, these papers offer valuable insights into both broader trends in the United States and other countries, as well as specific considerations of issues from a social lens, particularly in the context of COVID-19. The authors employ a comprehensive approach to analyze the complex interplay between social factors, healthcare systems, and individual experiences, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities facing societies worldwide.
