Summary

Stigma Syndemics: New Directions in Biosocial Health explores the linkages of stigmatization, structural conditions, and how these societal forces affect human health. The authors examine new areas-pregnancy, incarceration, detention, oral health, and malnutrition-in which biosocial health can be better understood by looking at how social and biological interactions are driven by stigma, through a syndemic framework.
