Studies in Middle Eastern Health

This collection of articles stems from a two-day conference held in March of 1997 at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. The book offers a selection of conference papers, along with two new papers which the editors contributed. Topics include the history of epidemiological studies in Beirut, traditions in Islamic medicine, analysis of mortality rates of Arab Israelis, health care services in Gaza, re-use of wastewater, family planning in Egypt, and more.
