Corporate Logic in Clinical Care
As large corporations come to dominate U.S. health care, clinical medicine is increasingly market-driven and governed by business principles. We examine ways in which health insurers and health care systems are transforming the goals and means of clinical practice. Based on ethnographic research of diabetes management in a large health care system, we argue that together these organizations redefine clinical care in terms that prioritize financia…
“They Treat you a Different Way
Electronic Health Records and the Disappearing Patient
With rapid consolidation of American medicine into large-scale corporations, corporate strategies are coming to the forefront in health care delivery, requiring a dramatic increase in the amount and detail of documentation, implemented through use of electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs are structured to prioritize the interests of a myriad of political and corporate stakeholders, resulting in a complex, multi-layered, and cumbersome health rec…
Counterproductive Consequences of a Conservative Ideology
Medicaid expansion, a key part of the Affordable Care Act, has been opposed by conservative politicians despite its fiscal and public health benefits. In response, some Republican-led states have expanded Medicaid with new reforms, including requirements for cost sharing and behavioral incentives, that promote conservative political values tied to an ideology of personal responsibility. We examine this trend using Michigan’s Medicaid expansion as…
E-Shopping for Health
Health care in the United States is undergoing a radical restructuring, mandated in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), designed to improve access to care and increase the efficiency of our health care system. Key features include a revamped health insurance market and increased reliance on electronic technologies for buying insurance and tracking patient care. One goal of these changes is to reduce the unequal burden of disease carried by low-income …
Genes, Race, and Culture in Clinical Care
Race, although an unscientific concept, remains prominent in health research and clinical guidelines, and is routinely invoked in clinical practice. In interviews with 58 primary care clinicians we explored how they understand and apply concepts of racial difference. We found wide agreement that race is important to consider in clinical care. They explained the effect of race on health, drawing on common assumptions about the biological, class, a…
Pharmacogenetics in Primary Care
Better Than Nothing
The United States health care system has reached a crisis point, with 49.9 million Americans now living without health insurance (DeNavas-Walt, Proctor, and Smith 2011). The United States government has responded to this crisis in a variety of ways, perhaps the most visible being the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March 2010. With a goal of expanding access to health insurance to 32 million Americans by 2019,…
Health Care Needs in Crisis
Currently, the United States is facing a health care crisis. The number of uninsured and underinsured people is increasing steadily, with Latinos especially hard hit, at nearly triple the national rate of uninsured. For many in this population, difficulty in accessing adequate health care is multiplied by poverty, limited English language competency, and immigration status. In this paper, we report on focus groups and interviews conducted with a …

Childbirth Care-Seeking Behavior in Chiapas
This study was designed to better understand how women in a developing region choose between the multiple options available to them for birthing. We conducted focused, open-ended ethnographic interviews with 38 nonindigenous, economically marginal women in Chiapas, Mexico. We found that although medical services for birthing were readily available to them, these women most often chose traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for assistance with their …
An Analytical Framework for Contrasting Patient and Provider Views of the Process of Chronic Disease Management
Medical anthropologists involved in clinical research are often asked to help explain patients' "noncompliance" with treatment recommendations. The clinical literature on "noncompliance " tends to problematize only the patient's perspective, treating the provider's perspective as an uncontroversial point of departure. Explicating the articulation between provider and patient assumptions, expectations, and perceptions in managing chronic illness i…
Studying Domestic Violence in Chiapas, Mexico
Conjugal violence is common in the Border Region of Chiapas, Mexico, with serious repercussions for women's health and well-being. To understand local perceptions of and responses to violence, the authors conducted focused, open-ended ethnographic interviews with 40 nonindigenous, economically marginal women of the community. This article describes the data collection, analysis methodology, and findings concerning informants' concepts of the natu…
Porque me tocó a mi ? Mexican American diabetes patients' causal stories and their relationship to treatment behaviors
Moral Reasoning and the Meaning of Cancer
Moral themes were a striking feature of the causal explanations for female cancers discussed by oncologists and patients in an ethnographic study of hospital-based cancer care in southern Mexico. These explanations integrate general biomedical explanations with everyday expectations and experiences, giving meaning to otherwise arbitrary events. Analysis of case examples shows that causal models incorporate local constructs about what constitutes …

Hypoglycemia
Most people suffer from multiple ill-defined symptoms from time to time. In this article we consider some reasons why hypoglycemia may have gained widespread lay acceptance in the United States as an explanation for such symptoms. The discussion focuses on how the hypoglycemia construct links the interpretation of symptoms to the cultural milieu in which they are experienced. A group of 12 informants, either self-diagnosed or diagnosed by physici…
