New Horizons in Health
discusses how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) can integrate research
in the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences to better understand the
causes of disease as well as interventions that promote health. It outlines
a set of research priorities for consideration by the Office of Behavioral
and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), with particular attention to research
that can support and complement the work of the National Institutes of Health.
By addressing the range of interactions among social settings, behavioral
patterns, and important health concerns, it highlights areas of scientific
opportunity where significant investment is most likely to improve national—and
global—health outcomes. These opportunities will apply the knowledge and
methods of the behavioral and social sciences to contemporary health needs,
and give attention to the chief health concerns of the general public.
"Such
a report always reminds us of the huge gaps in our knowledge and it is very
useful to have this presented in a systematic way with recommendations for
future development. Each chapter is well supported by extensive references
and overall the book is clear and readable."
-- Public Health, 2002
