"The Prevention of Disease, a Social Construction of Anticipation" is a non-fiction book that addresses the topic of disease prevention from a social perspective. It examines how anticipation functions as a common practice among social actors and how this anticipation is applied to various needs, particularly in the health sector. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, it demonstrates that anticipation is not only an individual action but also a socially constructed one, influenced by social meanings, the status of individuals, and medical discourses. The book highlights the diversity of forms of anticipation, which encompass both financial and social dimensions. It shows that the anticipation of diseases is in a complex relationship with other needs and that there is a hierarchy of these practices that depends on the uncertainty of demand and the perception of risks.
