商品簡介
Part of the Advances in Medical Sociology series, this volume is designed for sociologists and students in medical social science who want to learn more about how their discipline is interacting with a new era of medicine and public health focused on genetics and genomics. Part one looks at genetics as usual; contributors look at both the problems of genetic determinism and the ways genetics has been changing to consider the genetic effects of social-environmental pressures. Part two looks at collaborations between sociology and genetics in medicine; contributors offer both conceptual approaches and a practical study (of determining factors in late-life depression). Part three looks at medical ethics and practice, in fertility clinic websites, risk notification and genetic counseling, and public-private partnerships to overcome social disparities in access to genetic services.
