This text prepares students in public health, urban studies, sociology, nursing, medicine, and other areas to investigate causes and solutions to complex urban health problems such as asthma, diabetes, obesity, depression, substance abuse, violence and others. The authors demonstrate interdisciplinary ways to study the causes and consequences of these critical urban health problems, with step-by-step guidance to combining methods. Addresses the intersection of two main themes: the growing urbanization of the world's population and the increased importance of interdisciplinary approaches to public health practice and research.
