Social Determinants of Health Among African-American Men

"This groundbreaking book applies the concept of social determinants of health to the health of African-American men. While there have been significant efforts in recent years to eliminate health disparities, serious disparities continue to exist especially with regard to African-American men who continue to suffer disproportionately from poor health when compared to other racial, ethnic, and gender groups in the United States. This book covers the most important issues relating to social determinants ofhealth and also offers viable strategies for reducing health disparities"--Provided by publisher.
