This textbook guides readers through the formulation of research, intervention and policy in public health from an integrated perspective on health and social issues. Julie Cwikel begins with a comprehensive review of the historical roots of public health and social medicine, as they form the theoretical bases for social epidemiological practice today. The heart of the book presents the theoretical, research and programmatic tools needed to bring about effective public health change. The SOCEPID model is presented as a guiding heuristic for integrating between qualitative data from the field and quantitative data collected through classic epidemiological research. This model is then applied to a range of key topics: chronic illness, injury control, violence prevention, sexually transmitted diseases (especially HIV), environmental hazards, and vulnerable populations such as immigrants and trafficked women. Throughout the book germane tables and figures are integrated to illustrate social epidemiological methods without losing sight of the meaning of numbers.
This book grew out of Cwikel's extensive experience in teaching social epidemiology. It is practical and activist, demonstrating through cutting-edge empirical findings how epidemiological methods can be used to conduct policymaking research and change at both the micro and macro levels.

This volume presents a rigorous account of statistical forecasting efforts that led to the successful resolution of the Johns-Manville asbestos litigation. This case, taking 12 years to reach settlement, is expected to generate nearly 500,000 claims at a total nominal value of over billion. The forecasting task, to project the number, timing, and nature of claims for asbestos-related injuries from a set of exposed persons of unknown size, is a general problem: the models in this volume can be adapted to forecast industry-wide asbestos liability. More generally, because the models are not overly dependent on the U.S. legal system and the role of asbestos as a dangerous/defective product, this volume will be of interest in other product liability cases, as well as similar forecasting situations for a range of insurable or compensable events. The volume stresses the iterative nature of model building and the uncertainty generated by lack of complete knowledge of the injury process. This uncertainty is balanced against the Court's need for a definitive settlement, and the volume addresses how these opposing principles can be reconciled. The volume is written for a broad audience of actuaries, biostatisticians, demographers, economists, epidemiologists, environmental health scientists, financial analysts, industrial-risk analysts, occumpational health analysts, product liability analysts, and statisticians. The modest prerequisites include basic concepts of statistics, calculus, and matrix algebra. Care is taken that readers without specialized knowledge in these areas can understand the rationale for specific applications of advanced methods. As a consequence, this volume will be an indispensable reference for all whose work involves these topics.
