Health inequalities and welfare resources
Continuity and change in Sweden
How welfare states influence population health has long been debated but less well tested by research. This book presents new evidence of the effects of Swedish welfare state on the lives of citizens. The analysis and theoretical approaches developed in the book have wide implications for health research and policy beyond Scandinavia.
What works in tackling health inequalities?
Pathways, policies and practice through the lifecourse

It sets this against an examination of both local practice and the national policy context, to establish what works in health inequalities policy, how and why.
