USDResearch in the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease has had a fundamental impact on our understanding of how environmental experiences and contexts influence the development of health and disease over the entire lifecourse. Covering a wide range of geographic regions, this volume includes an overview of the field, key concepts, and cutting-edge examples of interdisciplinary collaboration. The first reference text covering the interdisciplinary work of DOHaD, a broad list of contents maps the history of DOHaD, showcases examples of biosocial collaboration in action, offers a conceptual toolkit for interdisciplinary research, and maps future directions for the field. The definitive volume on biosocial collaborations in DOHaD, this will be indispensable for scholars working at the intersections of public health, lifecourse epidemiology and the social science of DOHaD. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
- Presents a practical handbook of DOHaD research through a comprehensive conceptual toolkit and case studies of biosocial collaboration in action
- Offers practical conceptual tools for DOHaD researchers across disciplines to design, develop and interpret research findings, and makes social science theory accessible to a diverse audience of DOHaD researchers and practitioners
- Includes future directions for researchers to contemplate
- This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core
Reviews & endorsements
‘This magnificent collection crosses disciplines and continents in its synthesis of exciting scholarship around the past, present, and future of DOHaD. It is a singular achievement, and its readers will be multiple.’ Martyn Pickersgill, Professor of the Sociology of Science and Medicine, Edinburgh Medical School
‘The clearest and most comprehensive account of DOHaD in society ever. Framing the field in terms of its history and with a biosocial lens, the many distinguished authors of this Handbook offer, in combination, a very thorough and erudite reading of DOHaD in its strength (and sometimes weakness). Understanding child health from this perspective queries and questions approaches in public health, clinical practice and policy. A book that sets the standard in this field; a book to cherish and keep close to hand by all those interested and involved in child health, from whatever perspective.’ Stanley Ulijaszek, Emeritus Professor of Human Ecology, University of Oxford
‘In a masterful manner, this Handbook weaves together a rich tapestry of perspectives from across the globe and various disciplines, offering a nuanced yet concise overview of the state of the art of research on DOHaD. Irrespective of your own field - whether you're a medical researcher, a nurse, social scientist, or a policy maker - prepare to see your work in a new light after reading this book.' Barbara Prainsack, Department of Political Science, University of Vienna, Austria
‘A needed, comprehensive, in-depth, and thoughtful source of information important for those performing collaborative DOHaD research as well as those involved in implementation of policy based on this research.’ Joan Ann MacEachen, Doody's Reviews
