Health Inequality - an Introduction to Theories, Concepts and Methods Reviews

Mel Bartley's enquiry into health inequalities is admirably thorough and balanced ... What is particularly refreshing is the way in which the different implications for practical action of accepting different models of causation are highlighted ... [An] excellent book. Health Service Journal This book makes an original and major contribution to the body of knowledge on the complex theories of inequalities in health. It is well written and explained in simple terms that encourage the reader to evaluate the original research for themselves. Australian Social Work This book should become essential reading for anyone genuinely interested in understanding health inequalities. International Journal of Epidemiology
