Location:

RC15 Sociology of Health (host committee)

Language: English

Session Type: Oral


Part I: Focus on individual level

(Part II: Focus on meso and macro level)

International comparative research increasingly addresses health and health behaviour and highlights the enormous differences in health outcomes between countries. However, theory-driven studies that take the influencing factors at the macro and micro levels into account have so far been rare. In our opinion, the previously applied theory of relative deprivation does not go far enough. Therefore, we welcome (A) contributions which cover theoretical work, taking both the micro and macro level into account, to explain individual variation in health outcomes; or (B) theory-driven empirical research testing social mechanisms with sound analytical strategies; or (C) contributions that examine and discuss the methodological comparability of health items against the background of different cultural meanings.
