Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
At the 2018 Sharing Knowledge to Build a Culture of Health conference, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation staff and leaders from diverse sectors explored what a Culture of Health looks like in practice. We engaged in robust discourse around programs, policies, and data related to improving health, well-being, and equity. In this book, we bottle and highlight that discourse.
MoreLong description:
Weaving together research findings and narratives, Culture of Health in Practice: Innovations in Research, Community Engagement, and Action explores the many opportunities we have as a society to advance a Culture of Health and makes the case that a commitment to health equity is fundamental to bringing those efforts into the mainstream. In this latest contribution to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health Series, contributors describe the challenges and opportunities in rural and urban regions, in neighborhoods and schools, in prisons and workplaces. They explore different populations, including immigrants, minority youth, and individuals with substance use disorders; the risks posed by climate change; the role of the media in shaping the public discourse; and the innovations being spearheaded by health providers, insurers, and community leaders. Together, the chapters carry the message that while the challenges are daunting, achieving health equity for all lies within reach.
This important volume highlights the intersection of culture and health equity in new and provocative ways. The chapter on immigrant health in an era of insecurity and xenophobia is alone worth the price of admission - but the reader also gets a panorama of voices covering rural issues, employer responsibilities, climate change, media representations, the crisis of overincarceration, and so much more. Highly recommended.
