Health social science has evolved rapidly since the late 1980s. This volume presents ten case studies that exemplify some of the best practice in health social science in developing countries. The studies address the critical question of how social/behavioural science approaches can make a difference to significant health issues such as AIDS, people's reliance on traditional healers, their use of both indigenous and modern medicine, STDs, smoking, heart disease, and pyschological stress.The first and last chapters provide an overview of the evolving role of health social science research and examine some of the most promising perspectives illustrated by the case studies. The editors also reflect on future challenges and innovations in health social science research. This book will be a valuable resource for policymakers, planners and foundations supporting international health development, as well as scholars and public health practitioners.

Reliable information on how health service strategies affect the poor is in short supply. In an attempt to redress the imbalance, 'Improving Health Service Delivery in Developing Countries' presents evidence on strategies for strengthening health service delivery, based on systematic reviews of the literature, quantitative and qualitative analyses of existing data, and seven country case studies. The authors also explore how changes in coverage of different health services affect each other on the national level. Finally, the authors explain why setting international targets for health services has been not been successful and offer an alternative approach based on a specific country's experience.The book's findings are clear and hopeful: There are many ways to improve health services. Measuring change and using information to guide decisions and inform stakeholders are critically important for successful implementation. Asking difficult questions, using information intelligently, and involving key stakeholders and institutions are central to the "learning and doing" practices that underlie successful health service delivery.

Like all priority setting in the public sector, this 'definition of the problem' involves both ethical choices and political processes. Early chapters explain the foundations of these ideas and apply them to the pharmaceutical sector. The relationship of ultimate outcomes (like health status or ri...
