COVID-19 and Women's Health, 2nd edition
As a result of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the world is facing one of the greatest challenges we have experienced in over a century. The economic consequences for society at large are potentially catastrophic. The health and social care sectors have reacted by providing emergency care on an unprecedented scale, while the scientific community has focused on developing new treatments and a vaccine to prevent future waves of the pandemic. Evidence is emerging to suggest that certain conditions, such as obesity and hypertension, predispose some individuals to a worse outcome if they become infected, and that women may be less likely to die from COVID-19 than men. It is also curr...

Critical Medical Anthropology
Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.
The Economics of Health Professional Education and Careers
The formation of health professionals is critical for the health system to function and to achieve its universal health coverage (UHC) goals, and this is well recognized by the majority of governments that plan to ensure enough training places and aim to regulate in order to ensure quality. But the importance of market forces is often overlooked, resulting in interventions and regulations that often fail to achieve their intended effects. This publication aims to inform the design of health professionals' education policies to better manage health labor market forces toward UHC. It documents what is known about the influence of market forces on the health-professional formation process. The ...

Métodos demográficos
Existem alguns textos didáticos sobre demografia em língua portuguesa, tanto no Brasil como em Portugal. Entretanto, este livro se destaca pela atualidade e pela amplitude de cobertura de temáticas. Ele introduz os principais conceitos e técnicas usados em demografia, mas também resume algumas discussões recentes sobre demografia e políticas públicas, a transição demográfica, as teorias de fecundidade e migrações e a demografia econômica. Também aborda alguns temas menos comuns em cursos básicos de demografia, tais como nupcialidade, demografia de domicílios e famílias, demografia histórica e o uso demográfico de recursos informáticos, especialmente o Excel e "R". Finalmente, o livro apresenta referências e exemplos para a totalidade dos países lusófonos, inclusive para os PALOP. O texto está organizado em quatro partes que pretendem atender as necessidades de cursos de graduação e, ainda, em níveis iniciais de cursos de pós-graduação em demografia.
