A pioneering collection studying religion as a wider determinant of health in Britain This landmark volume presents the lived experience of British Muslims with regard to health inequalities, access to health services and involvement in health promotion initiatives. Exploring religion, ethnicity, racism, social class and deprivation, it examines how British Muslims interact with the UK health care system and the subsequent marginalisation in accessing benefits from those systems. The authors expose the unequal distribution of health benefits among British Muslims and explore how this has come to the fore during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using reflexive, interpretive, critical and evidence-based data-driven scenarios from across the UK, the book identifies loopholes in the health care system affecting high-risk groups. In doing so, it analyses why and how British Muslims live with the worst health outcomes when compared with all deprived social groups and ethnicities in the country.

Autorenporträt
Dr Sufyan Abid Dogra does the anthropology of modern Britain and works as a Principal Research Fellow at Bradford Institute for Health Research. He explores ways to encourage healthy dietary habits and enhance physical activity among children and young people from ethnic/religious minorities in the UK. He conducted a pioneering research on how mosques/madrassas can be used for health promotion in the UK. His interests are connecting the dots between art, culture, ethnicity, religion, health, and diversity to coproduce research with young people to influence public policy. He views art, culture, poetry, spirituality and music as sites of creating synergies for active civic life, better mental health and happiness of young people living with inequalities in Britain.
