- Description
- Around the world, the need to find creative solutions to health problems has never been greater, and neither has the need to understand transdisciplinary research processes. Health Social Science: A Transdisciplinary and Complexity Perspective is an innovative text that defines and explains both the conceptual framework for transdisciplinary health research and its rationale, as well as presenting interesting examples of complex health problems to which the framework may be applied. In exploring detailed case studies of transdisciplinary teamwork in the areas of coronary heart disease and AIDS prevention, the book illustrates the barriers to be overcome and the opportunities provided by this type of research practice. It also instructs readers in the research tools required for transdisciplinary investigation.
