Description - Vulnerable Populations in the United States by Leiyu Shi
Based on the authors' teaching and research at the Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Keck School of Medicine
of the University of Southern California, the second edition of
this landmark text offers a general framework for students,
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers for learning about
vulnerable populations. It contains in-depth data and information
on major health and health care disparities by race or ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, and health insurance coverage. It is
thoroughly updated to include the latest data and trends and
provides a detailed synthesis of recent and increasingly expansive
programs and initiatives to remedy these disparities. To keep
current with recent trends it incorporates the latest Healthy
People 2020 objectives, includes new sections on real-world
clinical examples, and discusses the impact of health care reform
on vulnerable populations. The book's Web site includes
instructor's materials that may be downloaded.

the United States
"An excellent primer for undergraduates and graduate students
interested in vulnerable populations and health disparities."
?New England Journal of Medicine
"Combines thoughtful, coherent theory with a large amount of
information available in a single source. It will prove to be a
valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, teachers, and
students alike for years to come."
?Journal of the American Medical
Association
"A very worthwhile read for health care administrators, health
policy analysts, public health and health promotion practitioners,
students of public health, and health researchers."
?Inquiry
"It makes clear that, for political, social, and economic (as
well as moral) reasons, the country must increasingly make
vulnerable populations a national health policy priority."
?Journal of Health Care for the Poor and
Underserved
"I have reviewed a number of books looking for meaningful
content to help my students understand and work with vulnerable
populations. This is the most comprehensive, yet understandable
book on the topic."
?Doody's Reviews
"Provides much-needed guidance to policymakers challenged with
providing solutions to this embarrassing issue in the United
States."
