Description: “Essentials of Health Justice: Law, Policy, and Structural Change, 2nd Edition,” by Elizabeth Tobin-Tyler and Joel B. Teitelbaum, addresses the urgent demand for texts that delve beyond social determinants of health and access to care.

Targeted at an interdisciplinary audience of students and scholars in public health, medicine, law, and other health professions, the text discusses systems and policies influencing health and explores legal and policy solutions to remedy health injustice. It includes key features like learning objectives, discussion questions, and Navigate eBook access for enhanced learning experiences.
