Review Breast Cancer: Society Shapes an Epidemic / Palgrave Macmillan:Breast Cancer: Society Shapes an Epidemic provides an innovative look at the social and political contexts of breast cancer and examines how this illness has become a social problem. This is not a book about breast cancer as a biological disease, its diagnosis and treatment, or the latest research to cure it. Rather, it looks at how economics, politics, gender, social class, and race-ethnicity have deeply influenced the science behind breast cancer research, spurred the growth of a breast cancer industry, generated media portrayals of women with the disease, and defined and influenced women’s experiences with breast cancer. The contributors address the social construction of breast cancer as an illness and as an area of scientific controversy, advocacy, and public policy. Chapters on the history of breast cancer, the health care system, the environment, and the marketing of breast cancer, among others, tease apart the complex social forces that have shaped our collective and individual responses to breast cancer.

Review Worlds Apart: Long Term Care in Australia and the United States / Routledge:Here is a timely analysis of Australia's response to the long-term care needs of the elderly relative to that in the United States in the early 1980s. Despite similarities in their rationale for public sector involvement in the support of services for the aged and demographic and governmental similarities, the countries have taken substantially different policy approaches. In this very comprehensive examination, the author reviews the shared concerns and key policy issues regarding long-term care in Australia and the United States, compares the demographics and government structures, studies the overall structure of each country's long-term care system, examines costs and institutionalization rates, and evaluates the major strengths and weaknesses of new initiatives in each country. This thorough examination will assist health professionals in both countries in determining whether different strategies meet with different levels of success and at what cost.

Anderson, Carolyn E. Aydin, and Stephen J. Jay have edited a volume that reviews a number of evaluation approaches and applications. " -Physicians and Computers "It has been a great pleasure to read your book, Evaluating Health Care Information Systems. There is a great need for a book like this in Europe, and I think it will be useful to many. We have just started a new program on health care informatics at Aalborg University, and we are planning to use your book in this program. " -Christian Nohr, Department of Development and Planning, Research Group Technology and Society, Aalborg University Health care organizations have become increasingly reliant on information systems. They have also become more aware of the potential pitfalls when integrating a computer system into a complex organizational structure. From cost factors to personnel problems, evaluating the impact of information systems requires an understanding of behavioral processes as well as computer technology. [+]Drawing on more than a decade of multi-method research, Evaluating Health Care Information Systems provides a guide for evaluating the impact of computerized information systems on the structure and function of health care organizations. Chapters provide a practical overview of established research guidelines for sampling, data collection procedures and instruments, and analytic techniques. Utilizing a pluralistic approach, this practical volume also includes organizational evaluation methods such as direct observations, archival data use, interviewing strategies, survey research, experimental research methods, simulation, social network, and cost-benefit analysis. Well-known contributors from sociology, anthropology, psychology, communication, and the administrative and health sciences provide both a conceptual and methodological framework. This timely volume is an essential tool for students and scholars who recognize the increasing importance of studying and evaluating the use and impact of information systems. It is also an invaluable guide for professionals such as computer system developers, administrators, and health care policy analysts.

Review Religious Faith, Spirituality, and Health Communication: A Special Issue of Health Communication / Lawrence Erlbaum:A primary premise of this special issue is that religious faith and spirituality comprise an integral component of lay discourse and lay theories associated with health. The articles included in this collection begin to fill a void and-at the same time-illustrate a role health communication fulfills within the behavioral sciences, emphasizing how everyday people make sense of health conditions in their daily living. Following the introduction, the next paper provides an integrated synthesis of the ways and means that religious faith and spirituality have been assessed, primarily through use of quantitative measures. The next two articles utilize instruments discussed in the previous review. The remaining papers utilize qualitative methods to begin to address the absence of specific understanding regarding religious faith and health communication, answering the challenge to health communicators to enrich the field through greater use of such methodological approaches to inquiry.
