A new issue of Medical Sociology online is available to read or download at www.medicalsociologyonline.org. This, the second issue of MSo edited by the team from The Open University includes a wide variety of content to engage readers including peer-reviewed articles, commentaries and book reviews.
The peer-reviewed articles include a discussion of colorectal cancer, drawing on a social ecological model to identify possible interventions against unhealthy behaviours associated with screening for this condition; and an exploration of the impact of social exchanges on psychological distress amongst Asian Americans. The two commentaries in this issue bring to our attention different and important areas within medical sociology. The issue concludes with a trio of book reviews covering mental illness, cosmetic surgery and death & dying.
As they approach the end of their first year editing MSo, the team would like to remind readers that the journal and website offers a platform, not just for peer-reviewed articles, but also for commentaries, debates, controversies, book reviews and news items. They look forward to your contributions!
