Rachel Davis and Larry Cohen's article, "Toward Health Equity: A Prevention Framework for Reducing Health and Safety Disparities," from the textbook The New World of Health Promotion: New Program Development, Implementation, and Evaluation brings prevention to a new generation of students.
Their chapter, published in The New World of Health Promotion: New Program Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (eds. Healey and Zimmerman), strategically applies prevention as a tool to reduce health and safety inequities. It begins with an overview of primary prevention, provides a framework for understanding the health disparities trajectory, examines how social determinants enable an environmental approach to addressing health disparities, and describes what can be done to help close the persistent gap in health and safety outcomes in the United States.
