This updated second edition of At Risk in America provides a detailed analysis of those key population groups most vulnerable to disease and injury in the United States today-including homeless persons, refugees and immigrants, people living with AIDS, alcohol and substance abusers, high-risk mothers and infants, victims of family or other violence, and the chronically or mentally ill. Lu Ann Aday reviews the major theories and knowledge concerning these at-risk groups and offers new approaches and methodologies for tracing the social determinants and societal influences on health. She examines the specific health needs and risks faced by these groups, their experience in the health care system, the current policies and programs that serve them, and the research and policy initiatives that might be undertaken to help reduce their vulnerability.

This book is a great reference for thesis and dissertation writers in the area of population risk!
By Mandy J. Roberts
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.
