　　This book shows how practitioners in the emerging field of

'cultural epidemiology' describe human health, communicate with

diverse audiences, and intervene to improve health and prevent

disease. It uses textual and statistical portraits of disease to

describe past and present collaborations between anthropology and

epidemiology. Interpreting epidemiology as a cultural practice

helps to reveal the ways in which measurement, causal thinking, and

intervention design are all influenced by belief, habit, and

theories of power. By unpacking many common disease risks and

epidemiologic categories, this book reveals unexamined assumptions

and shows how sociocultural context influences measurement of

disease. Examples include studies of epilepsy, cholera, mortality

on the Titanic, breastfeeding, and adolescent smoking. The book

describes methods as varied as observing individuals, measuring

social networks, and compiling data from death certificates. It

argues that effective public health interventions must work more

often and better at the level of entire communities.

    ? Demonstrates how individual decisions and

beliefs become health patterns of populations ? Written in

accessible language and with many examples for upper-level

undergraduates, graduate students in public health and medicine,

and practising professionals ? Includes lists of recommended

readings for each chapter as well as extensive references
