Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Increasing attention is being paid to the consequences of health and ill-health and to the outcomes of health care provision. Indices of health status in current usage focus on ill-health and are based on negative conceptualizations of health (e.g. mortality and morbidity rates, the self-reporting of symptoms, illness and functional ability). More attention is now being given to the development of positive measures of health, a term which encompasses concepts of 'social health', 'social well-being' and 'quality of life'. This volume reviews a wide range of popular measures of functional disability and health status, as well as broader measures of health such as those concerned with psychological well-being (e.g. anxiety and depression), emotional well-being (e.g. life satisfaction, morale and happiness), and social networks, support and loneliness. The book will be an essential source book for social scientists and all health care professionals involved in the measurement of 'health'.
