Am I missing something here? What is with all these positive reviews? This is the most laborious book I have ever let grace my senses. It is required reading for one of my classes, but there is absolutely NO in depth analysis of the statistical data presented. It is a VERY pedestrian and pedantic review of some very real common sense. Here is the whole book in a nutshell: The worse off you are in society, the worse your health is in this country. Now if you feel like you need 300 pages of graphs you’ll probably never look at (because they are painstakingly described in text anyways), or you really want to know exactly how much more likely you are to have chronic illness if you are black, poor, and uninsured, then be my guest and buy this book. Just don’t say you weren’t warned. This book is only useful if you need a large source of recompiled stats and data on the topic.
A colleague gave me this book with the instructions, "READ THIS – IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT HEALTH DISPARITIES." It did and I have since given it to 4 other friends to read. This book is the first to link the multiple health risks that commonly characterize our underserved populations with vast disparities in health status. Personal anecdotes tie existing data to relevant theory in a clear and easy to understand format. Students, researchers, advocates and anyone interested in improving health care for vulnerable populations will find this book indispensable.
I am not a public health nurse, I am an ICU nurse at heart. However as doctoral student, this text was required for a course I am currently taking. It truly opened my eyes to vulnerability even within the US. With the recent and current national crisis and disasters, the concepts discussed are brought home.
