In his new book entitled The Political Determinants of Health, Daniel E. Dawes, JD, argues that the key to understanding and addressing the extraordinary inequities in the U.S. health system is to focus on politics, political behaviors, political decision-making, and the resulting public policies. At this upcoming Grand Rounds, he and Michael Sparer will discuss the political process by which health policy emerges, and the political strategies that are needed to reduce health disparities and to create a more equitable society.
