      abstract = {Using current societal dilemmas, this book explores how  social factors and social identity influence our health and  recovery from illness. It includes recent research to  present practitioners, researchers, policymakers and  students of many disciplines with the material to support  them in better harnessing current knowledge of the impact  of social factors on health. The contents will influence  collaborative working across policy, disciplinary and  practice boundaries to design and deliver healthcare  services. The book identifies the importance of social  connectedness, social support, agency and self and group  efficacy in people's health, longevity and resilience after  adversity. Core perspectives include the social identity  approach and a values framework for taking public health  ethics into decision-making, both of which emphasise  valuing people and co-productive relationships. Advocating  better targeted mental health promotion and integrated  interventions, this book strongly argues for a greater  emphasis on social factors in evidence-based and  cost-effective practice. -- Provided by publisher.},
