Social Sources of Disparities: Patterns, Causes and Interventions
David R. Williams, PhD, MPH
Dr. Williams is an internationally recognized authority on social influences
affecting health. His research interests are socioeconomic status, the
experience of discrimination or racism, and resulting health effects. He
has examined the extent to which psychosocial factors such as stress,
racism, types of social support, religious involvement, psychological
resources and health behaviors are linked to health and social status and,
in turn, explain socioeconomic and racial variations in health.
