Pinpointing genetic, non-genetic, and epigenetic factors underlying health conditions common to the population—including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer—the author traces intricate links among these factors in the current environmental and social context. The section on non-genetic factors in health disparities, such as social determinants and health behaviors, adds depth to the ongoing discourse on public health and health policy objectives. And the chapters on gene\/environment interactions outline the vast potential for developing new multidisciplinary frontiers in shrinking health inequities and personalizing care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe African diaspora and disease-specific disparities\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe genetic basis to health disparities\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of epigenetics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomic factors and health\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychological issues and how they affect disparities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGene-environment interactions in health disparities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace, a biological or social concept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompelling and accessible, \u003ci\u003eHealth Outcomes in a Foreign Land\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge and inspire medical students, epidemiologists, public health professionals, biomedical research scientists, and social scientists to go farther in their work.
