Presents a pioneering collection studying religion as a wider determinant of health in BritainHighlights the role of religion in exacerbating health inequalities, along with ethnicity, racism, social class and deprivationInvestigates contemporary health inequalities among second and third generation British Muslims, with a particular focus on disadvantaged childrenCaptures a wide range of health issues that British Muslims live with, such as: structural discrimination; COVID-19; mental health; consanguinity; genetic predispositions; dementia; domestic violence; end of life care; absentee fathers; and migrationCritically appraises current health practices and methods and offers practical guidelines on how to involve British Muslims in health promotion initiativesIncludes a foreword by Professor Aziz Sheikh, OBE, Chair of Primary Care Research and Development, University of EdinburghThis landmark volume presents the lived experience of British Muslims in regards to health inequalities, access to health services and involvement in health promotion initiatives. Exploring religion, ethnicity, racism, social class and deprivation, the book examines how British Muslims interact with the UK healthcare system and the subsequent marginalisation in accessing benefits from those systems. Authors expose the unequal distribution of health benefits among British Muslims and explore how this has come to the fore during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using reflexive, interpretive, critical and evidence-based data-driven scenarios from across the UK; this book identifies loopholes in the healthcare system affecting high-risk groups. In doing so, it analyses why and how British Muslims live with the worst health outcomes when compared with all deprived social groups and ethnicities in the country.
