Data in Society
Statistical data and evidence-based claims are increasingly central to our everyday lives. Critically examining ‘Big Data’, this book charts the recent explosion in sources of data, including those precipitated by global developments and technological change. It sets out changes and controversies related to data harvesting and construction, dissemination and data analytics by a range of private, governmental and social organisations in multiple settings. Analysing the power of data to shape political debate, the presentation of ideas to us by the media, and issues surrounding data ownership and access, the authors suggest how data can be used to uncover injustices and to advance social progress.
The GP Contract Made Easy
The concepts and terminology of the new General Medical Services Contract can be confusing and daunting. The GP Contract Made Easy – Getting Paid summarises and simplifies a complex contract with many practical points to maximise a practice’s income and make the lives of doctors and managers easier. This book shows how the new Contract differs from the 1990 GP Contract, resulting in a change in the services that GPs provide and a change in their remuneration. This book provides advice on how GPs can maximise their income under the new regulations for the Global Sum, Enhanced Services and the quality indicators of the Quality and Outcomes Framework. General practitioners, primary care managers, and their professional advisers will find this book essential and invaluable reading.

Alcohol Problems in the Community
Community surveys reveal that about 6% of the adult male and 1% of the adult female population in England and Wales are drinking at high risk levels. Alcohol Problems in the Community examines the implications of recent community care legislation for government policy on alcohol. The first part of the book begins with a report on recent US research on the role of alcohol in the perpetration of child abuse and recent research on young people's drinking problems. This is followed by a study on the prevalence of drinking problems amongst older people which has been underestimated. In the second half of the book empirical evidence is presented on the particular difficulties faced by ethnic, migrant and homeless groups and this emphasis on the centrality of social disadvantage leads on to a consideration of a specific social work role in the assessment and management of alcohol-related problems. Alcohol Problems in the Community is aimed at social work practitioners and students on prequalifying, qualifying and postqualifying social work courses, and it addresses key social work issues in relation to poverty, homelessness, discrimination and drinking problems.

Macrosocial Determinants of Population Health
This book explores social factors such as culture, mass media, political systems, and migration that influence public health while systematically considering how we may best study these factors and use our knowledge from this study to guide public health interventions.
