Risking Antimicrobial Resistance: A collection of one-health studies of antibiotics and its social and health consequences (2019) (PDF) by Carsten Strøby Jensen

Description

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is predicted to be one of the greatest threats to public health in the twenty-first century. In this context, understanding the reasons why perceptions of antibiotic risk differ between different groups is crucial when it comes to tackling antibiotic misuse. This innovative volume gathers together chapters written by sociologists, psychologists and linguists with the common aim of examining the social factors that affect use of antibiotics among humans and animals. A unique focus on Denmark – one of the world’s most progressive countries when it comes to antibiotic regulation – as well as Europe more broadly, makes this book a valuable resource for regulatory deliberations on future antibiotic policy to effectively combat AMR.

User’s Reviews

Review “The book effectively assesses antimicrobial resistance from the One Health perspective using studies from both the human and veterinary medical fields. … The book uniquely describes the reasons antimicrobials are used from the perspective of both human and veterinary medicine. … This well-written book could serve as a resource for understanding the social factors affecting antimicrobial use and consumption in humans and animals.” (Pamela A. Foral, Doody’s Book Reviews, January 04, 2019) Review “This edited volume offers a new perspective on the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Focussing mostly on Denmark but also including comparisons with Italy, Spain, and France, the volume approaches antibiotic use and regulation from the dual angles of one health and social sciences research on risk.” (Dr Claas Kirchhelle, Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK)
