N2  - ""The volume exhibits three particular strengths for epidemiology students and researchers. In the majority of the chapters, the authors began with presentations of theoretical concepts.... A second strength of the volume is the recurring discussion of possible mechanisms that can explain the connections between social factors and health behaviors, disease risk and mortality.... Finally, the volume discusses the applications of the social epidemiology research to the design of effective public health interventions and social policies..... Social Epidemiology is a critical and timely addition to the field." --The Epidemiology Monitor"--Publisher description
