O knihe

conditions of health disparities across a range of populations in the United States, positions those
disparities within the broader sociopolitical framework that leads to their existence, and most importantly,
presents specific ways in which health equity solutions can be designed and implemented. Presenting
current theoretical foundations, cultural context, and evidence-based models and interventions all in one,
this textbook provides students with the basis to achieve greater health equity in their communities.
Edited by award-winning authors and featuring contributions from diverse experts in public health,
sociology, psychology, and medicine, this groundbreaking text goes beyond a traditional approach to risk
factors and disparities and emphasizes the central role that health equity initiatives must play in public
health research and practice.
The book is divided into three sections, with Section I focusing on providing the context of health equity
research and practice. Chapters are structured in a way that both new and experienced students in the
field will develop a deeper understanding of topics such as prejudice and discrimination; frameworks
and theories; and research and collaboration approaches. Section II addresses the current knowledge
of specific populations impacted by issues related to health equity, including African American, Latinx
and Hispanic, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, LGBTQ,
Veteran, People with Disabilities, and many more. Authored or co-authored by members of the community
being discussed, each of these chapters summarizes how health disparities impact the group, ongoing
population-specific models of disparities and equity, emerging programs for achieving health equity,
coverage of the most relevant aspects of intersectionality, and concluding exercises such as case
studies and current events. Section III then highlights the role of cultural humility in achieving health
equity. With its solutions-focused and community-affirming approach, Health Equity provides graduate
and undergraduate students of public health with evidence-based models to help advance health through
diversity, inclusion, and social justice.
