Primary healthcare: people, practice, place.

摘要

Crooks and Andrews's Primary Healthcare: People, Practice, Place sits within the geographies of health series and is a first of its kind text. The series aims to introduce a largely under-addressed subject (geography) in primary healthcare (PHC) research to examine risk, representation, meaning, inequality, power, culture and difference including health mapping and modelling. While geographic information systems (GIS) have been employed in health services research for mapping disparities in access and equity, the goal of this book is to explore geography beyond solely space to geography as place. There are few publications that examine this relationship between geography and PHC.
