This study explores the changing institutional context of health in the post-Soviet region and examines how various methods of measurement illuminate and obfuscate measures of health. It also investigates the impact of representation on health practices and explores the role of different factors such as risk, stress, and enabling resources. Additionally, the study examines how social change and differentiation influence health outcomes.

Key Questions • What is health? • How do various methods illuminate and obfuscate measures of health? • How does our work challenge or extend existing frameworks and theories? • How does representation matter? • What can our work and this region tell us about health and health practices more globally?
