The book is signed for publication with Routledge and already includes 14 chapters organised in four thematic parts: 1) Integrity issues, 2) Physical and mental health, 3) Gender, ethnicity, and social inequality, 4) Ethics and policy. The editor is seeking proposals for chapters that may add to the themes included in this collection. Five topics are especially relevant and wanted:

In addition to these requested topics, proposed chapters may also focus on other themes that fit within the four thematic parts outlined above.
