Assessment of Chronic Disease Management Strategies Among Health Care Practices in Medically Underserved South Carolina Counties
Diabetes and heart disease are among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, and these conditions are especially prevalent in the South. South Carolina’s persistent racial and socioeconomic disparities in chronic disease outcomes are well-documented, yet little is known about how health care practices in medically underserved areas are addressing these challenges. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey as pa…
Neighborhood Social Environment and Body Mass Index
The association between neighborhood-built environment and body mass index (BMI) is well-characterized, whereas fewer studies have explored the mechanisms underlying the relationship between neighborhood social environment and obesogenic behaviors. Using data from a random sample of 16,820 residents ≥18 years from all 169 Connecticut towns and seven ZIP Codes in New York, this study examines the influence of neighborhood social environment on res…

Perceived challenges to implementing childhood obesity prevention strategies in pediatric primary care
Childhood is an opportune time to address issues related to weight management, as children with obesity are more likely to have obesity in adulthood, and few successful long-term weight loss strategies exist. In 2007, an Expert Committee established guidelines for integrating obesity prevention into primary care, yet few studies have examined the extent to which pediatric primary care providers provide education about nutrition and physical activ…

Micro-moments of social support
Extending work on the everyday communication practices through which relationships are constituted, we examined the micro–moments of food service and the provision of social support in field recordings of everyday family life. We found that frequently when communicators serve themselves an item at the dinner table they offer that item to others, even when there is no indication that the other needs it. We revealed specific communication practices…
Advancing health equity by integrating intersectionality into epidemiological research
Epidemiological research increasingly recognises that health disparities are driven by complex interplay among factors including housing, education and employment.1 Intersectionality—‘the relationships among multiple dimensions and modalities of social relations and subject formations’—offers a theoretical approach for expanding our understanding of health disparities beyond independent systems of privilege and oppression (eg, racism and sexism).…
Does social capital moderate the association between children's emotional overeating and parental stress? A cross-sectional study of the stress-buffering hypothesis in a sample of mother-child dyads
At the Intersection of Epistemics and Action
We examine I know as a responding action, showing that it claims to accept the grounds of the initiating action but either resists that action as unnecessary or endorses it, depending on the epistemic environment created by the initiating action. First, in responding to actions that presume an unknowing addressee (e.g., correcting, advising), speakers deploy I know to resist the action as unnecessary while accepting its grounds. Second, in respon…
The use of conversational co-remembering to corroborate contentious claims
Memory is a central epistemic resource, yet the interactional organization of shared remembering is largely unexplored. Drawing on a large corpus of video- and audio-recorded interactions in English and Russian, we examine a collection of over 50 cases in which participants are engaged in the activity of co-remembering. We show that memory formulations are commonly used as an evidential method to legitimize or support a claim or point of view in …
Word Selection and Social Identities in Talk-in-Interaction
This article examines connections between communication and identity. We present an analysis of actual, recorded social interactions in order to describe intersections between identity and vocabulary selection. We focus on how, in selecting or deselecting particular terms (e.g., cephalic, doula, cooker) speakers can display both their own identities and the identities of others. We show how these identities are constructed in part through speaker…
Reference Recalibration Repairs
This report examines what is involved when a speaker overtly selects one formulation over another by employing a repair operation that reformulates a reference in a way that adjusts or recalibrates it, rather than abandons the original referent altogether. Focusing primarily on references to persons, we show that, beyond the narrowing of a reference—increasing its precision—that results in an improved fit between a person reference and other comp…
Pursuing a Response by Repairing an Indexical Reference
Prior conversation analytic research has demonstrated that when, following a sequence-initiating action, a response is relevantly missing (or is forthcoming but is apparently inadequate), speakers may use a range of practices for pursuing a response (or a more adequate response). These practices—such as response prompts, preference reversals, or turn extensions—treat the missing (or inadequate) response as indicative of some problem, and they may…

Communication Phenomena as Solutions to Interactional Problems
Beyond mundane reason
Conversation analysts have sometimes been taken to task for apparently choosing not to deal with the "context " of the conversa-tional activities they examine (Cicourel, 1981). In Talking Culture Moerman (1988) describes a blend of ethnography and conversation analysis, and suggests that ethnography describes contextual data extrinsic to interaction while conversation analysis provides non-con-texted structural descriptions of talk. In the presen…
Couples sharing stories
Some ways in which shared stories are begun and told are described using conversation analysis. Tellings shared by two persons who participated together in the events to be narrated display how coparticipants encounter and resolve the problems of having two potential tellers, and a "knowing" recipient present. The stories examined are begun with a three-part series of turns: a "remote" approach, a forwarding, and a ratification of the forwarding.…
