"...a useful tool in introducing the social and behavioral concepts of pharmaceutical and healthcare to students, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers. Given the challenges that exist in providing even basic healthcare and pharmaceutical care to specific constituencies of the underinsured and growing elderly populations, the updates in this edition that include discussions on public policy, epidemiology, and ethical issues are relevant and timely."
