Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to invite scholars in the field of social inequalities in health to submit their research. The Special Issue is very broad and concerns empirical research (both quantitative and qualitative) studies, but also knowledge from conceptual and theoretical papers, e.g., addressing new perspectives and approaches to understand social inequality in health among children, youth, and adults or socially vulnerable groups in society.
We also invite contributions with research on the impact of, e.g., health literacy, distributed health literacy compassion, empowerment, or capability as theoretical and empirical contributions on inequalities in health.
Dr. Carsten Kronborg Bak
