Current Challenges in Population Health

Abstract Submissions Closed

RC41 Sociology of Population (host committee)

Language: English


We invite papers covering global health topics, especially, though not limited to the association between structural factors and the health of the population. Suggested topics include: 

  • work and safety; 
  • the Ebola epidemic in West Africa; 
  • morbidity and mortality in migratory groups; 
  • HIV AIDS in economically disadvantaged groups; 
  • the wave of anti-immunization in the United States; 
  • the consequences of war and violence on physical and mental health, specifically among the most vulnerable groups; 
  • the health status of the economically disadvantaged; 
  • and the detrimental consequences of truncated health care accessibility.

The above topics are suggested as possible relevant themes; however, all papers that investigate the social and cultural factors underlying disease and physical and mental health status and their overall impact on society are welcome.
