Book Chapter ResearchOnline@JCU

Abstract

The chapter will discuss the role of social sciences in developing a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives of health and illness in animals and humans, as well as in contributing to improve services and programmes using a One Health approach. Drawing on evaluated and ongoing examples from various countries, the authors will demonstrate the added value of social sciences to address common local or global health problems using a One Health approach. The presentation and discussion of these examples will allow for an exploration of various key aspects, ranging from diverse understandings of health risks, protection, responses, implementing interventions and health communications as well as questions of equity of access and benefit. Theories and approaches in anthropology and other social sciences will be used to frame the discussion. This expanded approach adds further value to social sciences' contribution to One Health and One Health’s contribution to social science.
