Special Issue on Social Science and Health

Social Science and Health is an interdisciplinary field that explores the societal, cultural, and behavioral aspects of health and illness. It draws upon theories and methods from various social science disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology, psychology, and economics, to understand how social factors influence health outcomes. This area of study examines issues like health disparities, social support systems, health policies, and the role of social institutions in promoting or hindering health. By understanding these social determinants of health, Social Science and Health aims to improve individual and population health outcomes.
