Effects of naloxone distribution to likely bystanders
Community-based naloxone distribution to reverse opioid overdose may significantly reduce deaths. Optimal distribution methods may include secondary distribution so that the person who picks up naloxone kits can enable others in the community to administer naloxone, as well as targeting naloxone distribution to sites where individuals at high-risk for opioid overdose death are likely to visit, such as syringe-exchange programs. This study design,…
Managerialism and medical charity
Since the mid-nineteenth century, the American Medical Association’s code of ethics has mandated that physicians provide charity care. However managerialism has threatened the likelihood of physicians’ providing charity care. Specifically, physicians who recently became employees, or whose revenue became predominantly pre-paid, also became less likely to provide free care. Moreover, physicians with an increased proportion of revenue from Medicaid…
Keane Et Al. Respond
We appreciate Pierce’s and Blackburn’s comment on our article and share their interest in evaluating the effects of privatizing services formerly provided by local health departments.1 A few resources are available, including a workbook that the National Association of County and City Health Officials designed to help local health departments examine their role in the provision of clinical services.2 Also, we recently completed a study of privati…
Managerial and Professional Beliefs Influencing Public Health Privatization
This article describes managerial and professional beliefs underlying decisions to privatize public health services. We drew a stratified, nationally representative sample of local health departments and interviewed 347 department directors by telephone. We used logistic regression to establish the independent effects of various beliefs on the decision to privatize. Over half of directors did not believe that there was valid evidence that privati…
Services Privatized in Local Health Departments
Privatization of public health is seemingly an oxymoron. Functions such as environmental regulation and communicable disease control would seem to be the unique purview of governmental public health departments. These services constitute public goods in that they affect entire communities, whereas personal health services are private goods, privately consumed by individuals.1 Recent pressures such as the penetration of managed care has led to shi…
The Perceived Impact of Privatization on Local Health Departments
Objectives. This article presents nationally representative data on the effects of privatization on local health departments (LHDs). Methods. A stratified representative national sample of 380 LHDs was drawn from a national list of 2488 departments. Telephone interviews were conducted with 347 LHD directors. Results. One half of the directors of LHDs with privatized services reported that privatization helped the performance of core functions. Pr…
Globality and Constructions of World Health
Explorations of the social construction of health and illness reveal that popular and professional discourses on health and disease implicitly contain underlying images of how societies can or should be structured. Globality, which is a notion that refers to the consciousness of the world as a single place, suggests that these images of world structure are now salient. This article describes four current discourses of "world health" and discusses…
