Review Articles

Review Articles are a new and exciting feature of Sociology of Health & Illness.  They provide a state-of-the-art overview of the literature on either an established or emerging area, and offer valuable summaries for both teaching and research purposes.  In summary, Review Articles evaluate the progress of research in clarifying a sociological problem and recommend potentially fruitful avenues for further empirical, methodological, and theoretical work.
