Across all nations, the burden of COVID-19 has fallen most heavily on the socially disadvantaged. In the United States, the COVID-19 mortality rate for Black Americans is over twice that of their White American counterparts, and people in prisons have more than double the COVID-19 mortality rate of the general U.S. population. Other social dimensions such as income, gender, sexuality, and immigration status have also played a significant role in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Social Epidemiology of the COVID-19 Pandemic\u003c\/em\u003e provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the pandemic's effect across populations and its disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups in society, including racial\/ethnic minority, immigrant, and incarcerated populations. Written by leading international scholars, this essential volume describes how the COVID-19 pandemic intersects with nearly every social determinant of health, from race and ethnicity to income inequality, and how such interactions compound existing structural disadvantages. Using examples from upper-middle and high-income countries such as the United States, contributing experts delve into the differential impacts of COVID-19 by major social determinants of health and reveal the resultant effect of pandemic-related policy on health outcomes. Together, these authors underline the urgent need for further integration of social epidemiology into public health decision-making to ensure that every population receives the care it requires. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from research across epidemiology, sociology, psychology, and public policy, \u003cem\u003eThe Social Epidemiology of the COVID-19 Pandemic\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the stark disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the valuable insights from social epidemiology that can inform a more equitable pandemic response.","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45030154109079,"sku":"9780197625224","price":7520.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197625224.webp?v=1769205277","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-social-epidemiology-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-9780197625224","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
