Recensioner i media

Editors Jang and Oh, both American-trained sociologists, bring together 15 articles that originally appeared in English in a number of journals published in Korea—seven are from Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. With just a couple of exceptions, the contributing authors come from institutions of higher education or government institutes in Korea. Aimed at readers outside Korea who are interested in health disparities, the essays in this collection explore access to health care as well as the health conditions of populations such as shift workers, night workers, on-call workers, the elderly, female marriage immigrants, and minority youth. Each chapter's careful account of the data bases and methods of analysis used may allow experts on health and public policy to integrate information on Korea into their understandings of health disparities. Recommended.
