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. This edition expands on the structural and legal lens for understanding entrenched health inequity in the U.S., further emphasized by the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the historical, structural, and legal underpinnings of health inequities related to race, ethnicity, gender, and ableism, providing a framework for analyzing how health inequity is tied to the structure and enforcement of laws. 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.
