At Risk in America

This book is a great reference for thesis and dissertation writers in the area of population risk!

Good Info

I thought that the book provided some good information, especially the latter half of the book which offered possible solutions and to improve the health situation of the populations that she identified as vulnerable. I wish the earlier chapters, which identify the vulnerable populations and the circumstances that increase their risk, were slightly more in depth. Overall, there is some strong data and Aday presents a pretty good look into the problem of the disproprtioante health risks that many people in America face.
