This volume in the highly-regarded Research in the Sociology of Health Care series, deals with both macro-level system issues and micro-level issues involving access to care, factors that impact access, patients as partners in care and changing roles of health providers. It includes: examination of factors that impact access to care such as racial/ethnic, social, demographic and structural sources, discussion of changing patterns of care and changing patterns of interaction between patients and providers of care, and investigation of changing roles of health care providers within the health care delivery system. Key contributions focus on linkages to policy, population concerns and patients and/or providers of care as ways to meet health care needs of people both in the US and in other countries. This volume relates to issues of consumers of health care services, providers of such services and policy perspectives. It also raises issues of the availability of services, access to those services, quality of services and the role of government in services provision.

This book presents the first extensive exploration of how social determinants of health impact the lived experience of those with epilepsy and contribute to disparities and inequities in outcomes for individuals with epilepsy and other chronic conditions.Social determinants of health are fundamental drivers of health and disease, yet few publications have extensively examined the role of social determinants in treatment disparities. A deeper understanding of the role played by these factors--including social, economic, historical, and systemic inequalities--is a critical step towards closing these gaps in understanding. This book offers not only a deeper dive into the social determinants of health and their relation to epilepsy, but also explores what is known on this topic internationally and how it compares to the American experience. In addition, readers will find a description of ground-breaking research examining the role of social determinants and treatment delays for an under-examined population--low-income communities on the Medicaid program in a diverse American state. The book will appeal to a wide variety of audiences and offers the reader an opportunity to better understand the concept of social determinants of health and how they impact those living with chronic conditions like epilepsy. Specific considerations are placed on describing the impact of low socio-economic status and discrimination, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
