Congratulations to Ichiro Kawachi and Dustin Duncan, SD ’11 on the new edition of the textbook, Neighborhoods and Health.
In 2003, Neighborhoods and Health (edited by Ichiro Kawachi & Lisa Berkman) codified the idea that a neighborhood’s social and physical makeup can influence the health of people who live in it.
More than a decade later, with the relationship between place and health firmly entrenched at the center of how we understand public health, this second edition of the textbook offers both a synthesis of the essential research and a practical overview of the methods used in spatial epidemiology.
