“This resource will be a welcome addition to the marketing and health collections of public and academic libraries.” —Library Journal
“This is a very user-friendly volume that helps lay people make sense of the government’s health-care statistics. It would be useful for any collection geared toward a high school audience or higher.” —American Reference Books Annual
The second edition of American Health: Demographics and Spending of Health Care Consumers focuses on health care consumers rather than industry statistics and reveals future market and policy needs.
Presenting more than twice as many tables as contained in the popular Health, United States, American Health’s 14 chapters examine addictions, aging, alternative medicine, attitudes toward health care, births, deaths, disability, diseases and conditions, health care coverage and cost, health care visits, hospital care, mental health, sexual attitudes and behavior, weight and exercise—the whole gamut of our physical and mental well-being. American Health’s 300-plus tables were individually compiled and created by New Strategists editors and statisticians, who add historical data and calculations so you can instantly grasp the trends without having to do the work yourself. If you need more information than the tables provide, you can explore the data source cited at the bottom of each table.
