Description: This chapter introduces you to the sociological perspective and how it can be used to understand a wide range of health issues. Health sociology focuses on the social patterns of health and illness - such as the different health statuses between women and men, the poor and the wealthy, or the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations - and seeks social rather than biological or physical explanations.
