Contributed by sociologists and health specialists from the US, UK, Canada, and Brazil, the 13 essays in this collection examine health and health care issues among women and minorities in the US, UK, and Canada. They consider women and reproductive-related health and health care concerns, including the relationship of pregnancy intentions to breastfeeding duration, the role of insurance and poverty in abortion care, the patient-health care worker relationship and its effect on patient views toward vaccination during pregnancy, and health-seeking behaviors for infertility; aspects related to health care practitioners, including emotional burnout among maternity support workers, how clinicians make sense of structural barriers to diabetes care among US Latinos with limited English proficiency, and racial residential segregation and the distribution of auxiliary health care practitioners across urban space; and aspects related to racial and ethnic minorities, with discussion of issues of dual diagnosis among US adults, the hypertension experiences of black men, the influence of health care utilization and social characteristics on health outcomes among elderly Asian Americans, behavioral functioning among Mexican-origin children, race and ethnic differences in care-seeking, and demographics and female smoking.
