“Second Opinion introduces students to the theories, concepts, issues, and contexts of health sociology.
Vignettes at the beginning of each chapter introduce a topic and encourage a sociologically reflexive approach.  ‘Doing health sociology’ boxes link theory to practice as well as highlight sociological research and theories for informing health care practice. Health policy, and public understanding of the social origins of health and illness.  Discussion questions at the end of each chapter facilitate student engagement and continue sociological debate.  Extensive online resources supplement each chapter, including YouTube and M))C videos, suggested further reading recommended websites, and chapters from previous editions.”
