History of Medical Sociology

Abstract

Medical sociology is an applied research subfield within the field of sociology that was developed in the 1800s. It uses theories and research to examine the social, cultural, and political factors associated with health, illness, and healthcare and to provide solutions to social problems associated with aspects of health, illness, and healthcare.
