Emerging Illnesses and Society: Negotiating the Public Health Agenda Hardcover - 2004 - 1st Edition

by Randall M. Packard (Editor); Ruth L. Berkelman (Editor); Howard Frumkin (Editor)


From the publisher

How do new diseases become part of the public health agenda? Emerging Illnesses and Society brings together historians, sociologists, epidemiologists, public health experts, and others to explore this vital issue. Contributors describe the processes by which patients' groups interact with medical researchers, public health institutions, and the media to identify and address previously unknown illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, AIDS, lead poisoning, Lyme disease, and hepatitis C. The introductory chapter develops a general theoretical model of the social process of "emerging"illness, identifying critical epidemiologic, social and political factors that shape different trajectories toward the construction of public health priorities. Through case studies of individual diseases and analyses of public awareness campaigns and institutional responses, this timely volume provides important insights into the medical, social, and economic factors that determine why some illnesses receive more attention and funding than others.

Goldstein, Memorial University of Newfoundland; Peter J. Krause, University of Connecticut School of Medicine; Howard I. Kushner, Emory University; Lawrence D.

A series of publications in the early 1990s, including the Institute of Medicine's Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States and Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague, drew public attention to the rising threat of newly emerging diseases.
