[afro-nets] Social Medicine: New Issue Published

["Matthew Anderson" <bronxdoc@gmail.com>]

Social Medicine has just published its latest issue. For this special issue on Social Medicine & War, Dr. Vic Sidel served as guest editor.  We are publishing papers examining the Civil War in Nepal, the ongoing health impact of the  Spanish Civil War and violence along the border between Colombia and Ecuador.

In August of 2009, the WHO's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health issued a bold call to eliminate health disparities within a generation.  Three articles in this issue look at what has - and has not - happened in the intervening year.

We are also very pleased to publish three classic texts describing the Peckham Experiment, an innovative community center built in England during the Depression. The Pioneer Health Center was  designed around the idea of studying (and fostering) what makes people healthy, rather than what makes them sick.

We invite you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our web site to review articles and items of interest: www.socialmedicine.info.  As always all articles are available in Spanish at www.medicinasocial.info.

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
