The journal is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of health and health care in
which place or location matters.
Recent years have seen closer links evolving between medical geography, medical sociology, health
policy, public health and epidemiology. The journal reflects these convergences, which emphasise differences in health and health care
between places, the experience of health and care in specific places, the development of health care for places, and the methodologies
and theories underpinning the study of these issues.
The journal brings together international contributors from geography, sociology,
social policy and public health. It offers readers comparative perspectives on the difference that place makes to the incidence of ill-health,
the structuring of health-related behaviour, the provision and use of health services, and the development of health policy.
At a
time when health matters are the subject of ever-increasing attention, Health & Place provides accessible and readable papers
summarizing developments and reporting the latest research findings.
