Expanding the Boundaries of Health and Social Science Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Innovation


Free Download Frank Kessel, Patricia Rosenfield, Norman Anderson, "Expanding the Boundaries of Health and Social Science: Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Innovation"
English | 2008 | pages: 510 | ISBN: 0195324277 | PDF | 3,2 mb
It is now widely recognized that research on human health requires more than a focus on human biology and disease entities. Lifestyles, attitudes, stress, education, income-all are now understood to contribute to the spread of disease, the effectiveness of curative therapies, and the prevention of illness, as well as to good health and an enhanced sense of well-being. However, despite such developments and the rise of interdisciplinary research, there is still considerable debate about how best to conduct research and shape policies that insightfully integrate concepts and methods drawn from the full range of the health, social, and behavioral sciences. Moreover, scholars and researchers who wish to engage in such interdisciplinary inquiry have no texts that serve as substantive and practical guides to the most effective avenues.
