Introduction

Audience

The theorization of health issues is crucial both for understanding and as a guide for action. By providing a forum for academics and practitioners to engage with the theoretical development of the health debate, Social Theory & Health aims to develop the theoretical underpinnings of health research and service delivery.

The journal is of interest to scholars of health-related sociology; nursing, health and clinical psychologists; health and public policy analysts and theorists in related disciplines.
