Rezensionen
"The focus on relating social and behavioral factors to a variety of health issues distinguishes this work from other encyclopedias. This distinctive work offers a global perspective beneficial to students and professionals in social and behavioral sciences, medicine, public health, nursing, and other health-related fields. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." (Choice, 1 September 2014)

"The relationship between health and social and environmental factors is well documented, and this new encyclopedia explores the issue in depth. . . The writing style and reading levels are clearly aimed at academics, but undergraduate students and interested members of the general public will also gain knowledge from this encyclopedia. Academic libraries supporting programs in the health and social sciences will find this set particularly useful since there is little else that looks at health in this manner." (Booklist, 15 April 2014)
