Society and Culture: Health Care Policy and Preventive Medicine

The analyses of the significance of health policies, the organisation of the health care system, and the medical technologies available for use in preventative medication form the basis of this programme.

Additionally, this programme will focus on the role played by social and ethnic factors in forming attitudes about, reactions to, and use of preventative medicines.

Finally, studies will concentrate on how the use of preventive medicines is coordinated, whether there are useful tools for this coordination, and what the effects are of attempts to coordinate this use.
