The shift to preventative care and health promotion is an example of how policymakers aim to rationalize and organize both health systems and patients health practices. By applying a perspective from empirical science & technology studies (STS), based on qualitative research methods, the chapters of this book zoom into the micro politics of prevention and health promotion. They analyze how patients are framed as being at risk, how preventative regimes shape medical practices and what its practical consequences are in patients' everyday lives.
