Sociology ‘the study of the individuals, groups and institutions and their relations that make up human society’ Cultural attitudes, beliefs Health service provision in rural areas and developing countries Health inequalities Community health programs Fertility rates, mortality rates Community nutrition programmes Paying for healthcare.

“To solve local problems with global information” and… opposite Community health studies around the world can inform local projects: Examples: Skin cancer prevention programs Dengue prevention AIDS prevention Work done in developing countries is applicable to immigrant communities in developed countries. Cultural beliefs and practices travel.
