Discussion Topic
In this unit, you learned about aspects of disease, including pathophysiology of disease,
disease and immunity, human tissues and disease, and genetic research and disease.
The lessons in this unit focused on disease mainly from the perspectives of the fields of
biology, health care, and genetics. What other fields of study make contributions to the
understanding of disease? For example, what aspects of disease might sociologists study?
Can you think of professionals in fields other than health care who could play a role in disease
prevention-such as journalists or those in public relations?

Explanation: Medical sociologists study the physical, mental, and social components of health and illness. Major topics for medical sociologists include the doctor-patient relationship, the structure and socioeconomics of health care, and how culture impacts attitudes toward disease and wellness. Health professionals play a central and critical role in improving access and quality health care for the population. They provide essential services that promote health, prevent diseases, and deliver health care services to individuals, families, and communities based on the primary health care approach. Epidemiologists rely on other scientific disciplines like biology to better understand disease processes, statistics to make efficient use of the data and draw appropriate conclusions, social sciences to better understand proximate and distal causes, and engineering for exposure assessment.
