PHM-Exch> New Social Medicine Issue published: War & SM, WHO Commission on Social Determinants

From: Matt Anderson bronxdoc at gmail.com

Social Medicine, an open-access, online academic journal has just
published its latestissue and we thought it might be of interest to
this group.  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:

Spanish at www.medicinasocial.info.
