Publisher: Blackwell Publishing

The Social Science Citation Index consistently ranks Sociology of Health and
Illness as one of the top 10 public health journals and the top 15 sociology
journals in the world.

Sociology of Health and Illness is an international journal which publishes
sociological articles on all aspects of health, illness and medicine. It
focuses particularly on empirical research, especially, though not
exclusively, of a qualitative kind. The journal provides a sociological
perspective on the theory of medical knowledge, the practice of medical work
and the experience of receiving or giving medical care.

In addition to the six regular issues published each year, subscribers
receive a special issue. These themed issues aim to identify and contribute
to new areas of debate and research in the discipline and each issue is
devoted to an important topic of current interest.
