ISBN10: 0801879426, ISBN13: 9780801879425, [publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, MD] Hardcover First Edition Hardcover. How do new diseases become part of the public health agenda? Emerging Illnesses and Society brings together historians, sociologists, epidemiologists, public health experts, and others to explore this vital issue. Contributors describe the processes by which patients' groups interact with medical researchers, public health institutions, and the media to identify and address previously unknown illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, AIDS, lead poisoning, Lyme disease, and hepatitis C. The introductory chapter develops a general theoretical model of the social process of "emerging" illness, identifying critical epidemiologic, social, and political factors that shape different trajectories toward the construction of public health priorities. Through case studies of individual diseases and analyses of public awareness campaigns and institutional responses, this timely volume provides important insights into the medical, social, and economic factors that determine why some illnesses receive more attention and funding than others. Telford III, Harvard School of Public Health; Christian Warren, New York Academy of Medicine.
