Книга "Введение в синдемику" (Introduction to Syndemics) представляет собой описание быстро развивающейся области синдемической теории и исследований, которая представляет собой рамки для анализа и предотвращения взаимодействия заболеваний, учитывающую основные социальные и экологические причины. Эта перспектива дополняет стратегии профилактики отдельных проблем, которые могут быть эффективными для конкретных проблем, но часто не соответствуют цели защиты общественного здоровья в широком смысле. Автор книги, Меррил Сингер, демонстрирует, почему проблемы здоровья не должны рассматриваться изолированно, а скорее в контексте других заболеваний и социальных и экономических неравенств, которые питают их. Книга содержит широкий спектр примеров из истории и современности, иллюстрирующих модель синдемики. В целом, книга является важным чтением для специалистов в области общественного здравоохранения и социальных наук, а также для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся этой темой.
This book explains how the fields of syndematic theory and research are developing, addressing disease interactions taking place in society. It proposes a new framework for analyzing and preventing underlying social and ecological sources of disease. This approach complements the traditional practice of single-problem prevention, typically demonstrating effectiveness when dealing with particular issues, without taking into account factors such as inadequate living conditions that threaten people's overall health.
"Merrill Singer accurately points out why single-health problems cannot be considered in isolation. They should be analyzed within the context of others' health issues, alongside social and economic inequalities that exacerbate them," declares Michael H. Merton, director of the Duke Global Health Center.
This work by the author is not only theoretical, it contains both historical and current examples that illustrate the model. Both Peter J. Brown and Mark Nichter express their appreciation for Singer's contributions to prominent areas of society while acting as both medical and cultural anthropologists.
These critics have found Merrill Singer's work to be the most thorough treatment of one of humanity's longest standing concerns. Francisco I. Basutos, an expert on the aspects of socioeconomic policy, shares his views on how Singer manages to encompass this important area of study. Likewise, Bonnie Buntain indicates the valuability of the "new approach," connecting science families dealing with medicine, veterinary research, and societal prioritization.
Furthermore, Warwick Anderson emphasizes the importance of the work, urging researchers and those working with the specific subject matter to reconsider traditional mechanisms of disease prevention based on previous methods alone.

This book explains the growing field of syndemic theory and research, a framework for the analysis and prevention of disease interactions that addresses underlying social and environmental causes. This perspective complements single-issue prevention strategies, which can be effective for discrete problems, but often are mismatched to the goal of protecting the public's health in its widest sense. «Merrill Singer has astutely described why health problems should not be seen in isolation, but rather in the context of other diseases and the social and economic inequities that fuel them. An important read for public health and social scientists.» —Michael H. Merson, director, Duke Global Health Institute «Not only does this book provide a persuasive theoretical biosocial model of syndemics, but it also illustrates the model with a wide variety of fascinating historical and contemporary examples.» —Peter J. Brown, professor of Anthropology and Global Health and director, Center for Health, Culture, and Society, Emory University «The concept of syndemics is Singer's most important contribution to critical medical anthropology as it interfaces with an ecosocial approach to epidemiology.» —Mark Nichter, Regents Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Arizona «Merrill Singer offers the public the most comprehensive work ever written on this key area of research and policy making.» —Francisco I. Bastos, chairman of the graduate studies on epidemiology, Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz «Exquisitely describes how this new approach is a critical tool that brings together veterinary, medical, and social sciences to solve emerging infectious and non-infectious diseases of today's world.» —Bonnie Buntain, MS, DVM, diplomate, American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine «For too long the great integrative perspectives on modern biomedicine and public health disease ecology and social medicine-have remained more or less separate. In this innovative and provocative book, Merrill Singer develops a valuable synthesis that will reshape the way we think about health and disease.» —Warwick H. Anderson, MD, PhD, professorial research fellow, Department of History and Centre for Values, Ethics, and the Law in Medicine, University of Sidney
