Reviews
"This short book is a valuable companion for those with interest in social pharmacology of geriatric medication misuse. Its multidisciplinary focus is non-institutionalized minority women, truly a neglected subject of investigation. . . . The strength of this book is its breadth. In addition, the overall perspective which this book offers is thought-provoking. . . . the true measure of this book, or any book for that matter, is whether it offers a valuable contribution to its topic. Dr. Barbara Kail's volume surely does. It substantially raises our racial and ethnic sensitivity as factors to consider in geriatric non-compliance with medications to promote health." –Dr. Brent Green Clinical Gerontologist
