Summary: This textbook outlines and discusses key public health principles and the social model of health. Drawing on a range of case studies and the international literature, it looks at how public health research has been applied to policy and practice. The book discusses the transferability that these findings have had and their capacity to influence and provide evidence for practice. Health and Inequality covers a broad range of social determinants of health, encountered throughout the life-course, including: pre-birth and early years; breastfeeding and teenage mothers; health inequalities for mothers and babies in prison; children in full time education; sexuality, relationships and sexual health of young people; early adulthood; welfare rights and health benefits; women, employment and well-being; adults in later life.
