Description
Cultural and social boundaries often separte the participants in public health projects -- practitioners, recipient communities, host countries, researchers, and others -- and it is a major challenge to translate public health knowledge and technical capacity into public health action across these boundaries. This book provides an overview of anthropology and shows in 15 wide-ranging case studies how anthropological concepts and methods can be applied to public health problems.
