ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book highlights the role of social sciences and theory in application to global public health, and the place of social sciences in highlighting the ever-increasing importance of health inequalities across a wide spectrum. It demonstrates that the articulation and role of health inequalities across a range of behaviours and contexts, which application of social sciences perspectives, assists to highlight and explain, beyond traditional approaches. The book also highlights the eclectic nature of social science perspectives across global public health, and the diverse approaches which can be used to frame research and develop solutions in an increasing late modern world, as well as the link between public and global health. It discusses the eclectic nature of social sciences perspectives in, for example, making links between public health and global public health, and its place in developing core public health skills, and competencies.
