About the Book

The importance of social sciences and its application in the field of public health is being gradually recognised both by social scientists and medical scientists. It has been realised that many of today’s health problems are attributed to social and environment has definite impact on the morbidity pattern and more so, in rural areas and urban slums. For instance, many of the non-communicable dis¬eases like Coronary Heart Diseases, Diabetes, Hypertension, Stress diseases are related to lifestyle of the people. Moreover, the effects of social environment are reflected in the complex of psychosocial aspects and includes attitudes, beliefs, customs and value system of society. Till date, not many social scientists or public health specialists either singularly or jointly have undertaken community based field studies to correlate the social aspects of health and disease.
