Lifestyles are risky, too
In this article, we examine the portrayal of non-drug related health risks and patient empowerment messages in prescription drug advertising. Little is known about the social construction of non-drug related risks in direct-to-consumer advertisements. In addition, research has failed to investigate to what extent, and how, prescription drug ads use risk messages to construct understandings of empowered medicated patients. To fill these gaps in re…
Healthworlds, Cultural Health Toolkits, and Choice
How do minorities differ from Whites in their interactions with the broader consumeristic health culture in the United States? We explore this question by investigating the role that acculturation plays in minority and White patients' views of prescription drugs and the direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs. Drawing on data from six race-based focus groups, we find that patients' views of prescription drugs affect their resp…

We analyzed nationally representative longitudinal data from Wa…

This paper aims to contribute to this literature by examining the popular constructions of lifestyle behavior in direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) geared toward overweight and obese individuals. We are centrally interested in how pharmaceutical advertisements frame healthy behaviors as a solution to the experience of overweightness and in…
