encouraged. Such studies may examine the social, economic, cultural and political
determinants of health. For instance, studies on the effect of migration, living and
working conditions, and structural factors as well as disease specific epidemiologic
research may be a prime research concern. If studies focus on interventions that can
reduce or prevent human suffering/ill-health/ disease and thus can lead to improvement
in population health, health service systems can be viewed as one of the factors
