This book is intended as a core textbook for courses in public health that examines current issues in health from a social and behavioral science perspective. It is a cross-disciplinary course (public health, medical sociology, health psychology, medical anthropology) and thus there are many ways to teach the course based on a particular instructor's perspective. The authors wrote the book because they were dissatisfied with the way other texts apply social science to public health and found that many texts being used were from related fields such as medicine, nursing or general health.The authors are planning to do a major revision based on reviews they have collected and the reviews we have collected. We believe the revised edition will essentially be a new text based on rich feedback. They will include new theory, new cases, new research, and a rich ancillary package. They will also reduce the frameworks presented to make the book more readable to students.

This book examines the ways that behavioral and social sciences have been applied to major public health concerns. With the community-based approach, behavioral and social sciences have been increasingly integrated into public health, demonstrating that they can contribute to understanding the role of risk behaviors and risk-group characteristics for health promotion and disease control and prevention. The authors of this book provide a showcase of successful examples of integrating behavioral and social sciences with public health, and they challenge public health specialists and behavioral and social scientists to meld their work in more effective ways.
