Reducing overdose after release from incarceration (Roar): Study protocol for an intervention to reduce risk of fatal and non-fatal opioid overdose among women after release from prison
Adaptation and Testing of Instruments to Measure Cervical Cancer Screening Factors Among Vietnamese Immigrant Women
Purpose: Vietnamese American women diagnosed with cervical cancer are more likely to have advanced cancer than non-Hispanic White women. We sought to (a) develop a culturally sensitive Vietnamese translation of the Revised Susceptibility, Benefits, and Barriers Scale; Cultural Barriers to Screening Inventory; Confidentiality Issues Scale; and Quality of Care from the Health Care System Scale and (b) examine the psychometric properties. Design: Cr…
Human Rights Casualties from the “War on Obesity”: Why Focusing on Body Weight Is Inconsistent with a Human Rights Approach to Health
An increase in average body weight has been the subject of intense attention from public health authorities over the past decade. The weight-centered health paradigm and resulting concerns about the “obesity epidemic” are the foundation for public health policies and programs around the world. International human rights treaties describe the legal obligations of states and the moral obligations of other actors in society to respect, protect, and …
Prioritizing Prevention: Culture, Context, and Cervical Cancer Screening among Vietnamese American Women
Evaluation of a Community-Based, Service-Oriented Social Medicine Residency Curriculum
Potent community-based experiential learning with adequate time and encouragement to hear clients' stories allowed residents to gain an understanding of some of the complex factors that contribute to ill health in this population and seemed to influence residents' confidence in their skills in working with an undeserved population, particularly a population struggling with addiction. However, the curriculum did not provide adequate time for facil…
An Unanticipated Source of Hope: Stigma and Cervical Cancer in Brazil
In this article, I argue that although cervical cancer is an often stigmatized condition in Brazil, women with cervical cancer in Recife, Brazil, did not simply endure the stigma, they also perpetuated it. I draw on narrative theory and 18 months of ethnographic research in Recife to argue that rather than resisting the stigma associated with their disease, women in Recife used stigma to construct illness narratives that affirmed that they were s…
The impact on teachers of designing and implementing a Health at Every Size curriculum unit
With growing concern over the ‘obesity epidemic’ in children, schools have become the front line of defence in the ‘war against obesity’. However there is a growing body of evidence of unintended harm associated with school-based health education programs framed as ‘obesity prevention’, including body dissatisfaction, eating and physical activity disorders and size-based bullying, harassment, violence and discrimination. An alternative paradigm k…
Interpretations of Interpretations: Combining Community-Based Participatory Research and Interpretive Inquiry to Improve Health
Combining the tools of CBPR with the tools of interpretive qualitative inquiry may allow researchers to address explicit community concerns while also examining what other, less immediately visible, issues consume the time and attention of community members. In our specific case, combining the insights of our community partners with the results of our interpretive analysis helped us shift the focus from cervical cancer alone to a focus on gender …
Beliefs About the Pap Smear Among Mexican Immigrants
Virtually Virgins: Sexual Strategies and Cervical Cancer in Recife, Brazil
This book provides a detailed, intimate portrait of a community of women living in a shantytown (favela) in northeastern Brazil, while exploring the complex interplay between gender, sexuality, power, and disease. It reveals how poor Brasileiras are constrained by dominant cultural constructions of female sexuality as a dangerous force that must be controlled by men; yet these women also manipulate these expectations by using their sexuality as a…
Mixed blessings: Cervical cancer screening in Recife, Brazil
This study examines the effects of a large-scale cervical cancer prevention campaign in Recife, Brazil between 1994 and 1995. It suggests that while this program effectively motivated women to get pap smears, it reinforced local understandings of the pap smear that ultimately had unintended negative consequences for women's health. It argues that because the campaign connected female sexual activity directly with cervical cancer, the program's me…
Explanatory models for cancer among African-American women at two Atlanta neighborhood health centers: The implications for a cancer screening program
The Cultural Interpretation of Breast Cancer
By attaching meaning to illness, cultural demystifies seemingly random conditions, while simultaneously entrapping them in inescapable webs of significance. Humans are caught between the need to and give meaning to illness, and the danger of giving illness an interpretation that ultimately proves deleterious to victims of disease, and to society itself. This paper argues that in the developed Western cultures*, breast cancer is an example of …
