The new Second Edition features: two new chapters: one on the impact of urban education on urban health and another covering the elderly and health equity; updated and enhanced coverage on men's health, demographic data, the importance of cultural proficiency, maternal mortality and Black women, and much more." Current trends and movements, including the role of social media in the provision of health care information for improved health literacy; mass incarceration and criminal justice reform; and much more."-- Provided by publisher
