Reviews
“The book would be a worthwhile addition to any collection on cultural competency; diversity, equity, and inclusion; public health; social determinants of health; or health professions education. Hansen and Metzl’s Structural Competency in Mental Health and Medicine: A Case Based Approach to Treating the Social Determinants of Health will, I hope, inspire further development and implementation of structural competency perhaps involving collaborations with health sciences libraries and librarians.” (Gregory Laynor, Journal of the Medical Library Association, Vol. 109 (2), April, 2021)
