Book ID/图书代码： 06350705B08243
English Summary/英文概要： There is increasing recognition that socio-economic and cultural factors are prime determinants of health and health care. What factors contribute to the acceptance of community health financing or a vaccination program? What are the needs of the growing group of elderly people or psychiatric patients? What social and cultural factors should be taken into account in plans to improve reproductive health care? These are only some of the questions that confront health professionals and health planners. Anthropological research can be a tremendous support to health programs, by giving insights in the perspective of recipients and providers of health programs and health care, and also by providing managers and implementers of these programs with mechanisms and strategies that could lead to a reorientation of health care programs and policies towards the actual needs of the target group.
The need for training in anthropology of health and health care has been expressed by social scientists involved in multi-disciplinary health research projects. Public health staff at different levels is involved in providing health education and primary health care and are confronted with difficulties related to the socio-cultural context in which they work as they implement health programs. It is for this reason that the International Course in Anthropology of Health and Health Care was developed. This course has been designed for research officers of public health institutes, coordinators of community health care programs, project staff, responsible for the implementation of various health programs, public health professionals, social science lecturers at universities, and junior social scientists.
The course takes a multi-disciplinary approach and focuses on a number of important problem areas and issues, such as vaccination, reproductive health and AIDS, equity and community health financing, self-care and the use and distribution of pharmaceuticals.
In earlier editions, the manual was used to teach public health in institutions worldwide.
