Using Covid-19 Oral History Archives to Support Equitable and Creative Solutions to Contemporary Public Health Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic sparked what may be the largest number of oral history projects addressing a single public health issue. These collections range from brief informal efforts like those created in classrooms across the country to rigorous and formal projects led by institutions and those with expertise in oral history and archiving. The contribution of this article to existing methodological knowledge is that it brings an underutilized form o…
Sparking Intentional and Antiracist Pedagogy
The COVID-19 pandemic and the racial justice uprisings of 2020–2022 created an altered and challenging landscape for teaching public health. Challenging and direct experiences with these public health issues and their reverberations shaped how some faculty and many students participated in both online and in-person classrooms. In this project, we conducted a narrative analysis of oral history interviews with eight faculty members at a public univ…
Conceptualizing precarious employment through the lens of social reproduction
Research on the health and well-being impact of precarious employment (PE) commonly conceptualizes employment as a relation of power between workers and employers, a perspective informed by power relations and relational social class theories. Social reproduction theory is a less common but complementary conceptual lens that can be used to investigate PE and health, in which the nature of work has relevance for the quality of employment . Social …

Psychosocial and Health-Related Behavioral Outcomes of a Work Readiness HIV Peer Worker Training Program
Targeted work readiness training is an important approach to help people living with HIV (PLHIV) to overcome their unique barriers to work, while addressing social determinants of health needs. This study assesses the psychosocial impacts of a work readiness training and internship program among HIV peer workers in New York City. From 2014 through 2018, 137 PLHIV completed the training program, and 55 individuals completed both the training and t…
Advocating for a single-payer healthcare system
Historical accounts of healthcare movements have focused on grassroots organizations, as well as professional and labor-led organizations led by doctors and nurses; however, the role of public health professionals has been understudied. Given persisting uninsurance rates, public health academics are important stakeholders in achieving a single-payer system in the U.S. This study seeks to explore how public health academics perceive their role in …
I Am the Home Care Agency”
As the locus of long-term care in the United States shifts from institutions to the community, paid caregivers (i.e., home health aides, personal care attendants) are providing more hands-on care to persons with dementia living at home. Yet, little is known about how family caregivers engage with paid caregivers. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews ( n = 15) with family caregivers, of persons living at home with severe dementia, and…
Awareness, Acceptance, Avoidance
Death and dying are woven throughout the work of home care aides, and yet the care they provide at the end of life (EOL) remains poorly understood. This is due in part to the multiple circumstances under which aides provide EOL care. In this paper, we elucidate the EOL care experiences of aides working in home care agencies in New York City. We conducted in-depth interviews with 29 home care aides, and we analyzed these data using inductive, team…
Work as a Root Cause of Home Health Workers’ Poor Health
Exploring the Link Between the Hazards and Value of Work, and Overcoming Risk for Community-Based Health Interventions for Immigrant Latinx Low-Wage Workers
Few studies integrate work and immigration as intersecting social determinants of health. We synthesize data from 12 focus groups ( N = 97) originating from two separate community-engaged studies that originally centered on exploring barriers to health and hazards of work among immigrant Latinx women and men to explore the role of work in their overall health and well-being. The three major interrelated themes we drew from this research—hazards o…
Expanding the Conceptualization of Support in Low-Wage Carework
Home care aides are a rapidly growing, non-standard workforce who face numerous health risks and stressors on the job. While research shows that aides receive limited support from their agency employers, few studies have explored the wider range of support that aides use when navigating work stress and considered the implications of these arrangements. To investigate this question, we conducted 47 in-depth interviews with 29 home care aides in Ne…
Combating Anti–Asian American/Pacific Islander Racism Through Local Health Departments and Schools of Public Health
Professional, friend or family
While there is a growing literature on home care workers, less is known about how home care companies market their services. Through a content analysis of the 19 largest U.S. home care and home health providers' websites, we examined how companies describe services, desired outcomes of care, and job responsibilities and qualifications. Companies actively market family-like relationships as central to "good care". However, companies' emphasis on u…
Home Care Workers' Experiences of Client Death and Disenfranchised Grief
While many types of health care workers experience patient death, home care workers do so under vastly different social and economic circumstances. When a client dies, home care workers often lose both a close relationship and a job. Though research suggests that health care workers' grief may frequently be disenfranchised, there is no in-depth study of the mechanisms that disenfranchise home care workers' grief specifically. To address this gap,…
Elicitation as a Multilayered Process
This article describes a novel approach to reciprocal peer interviewing in which participants interview one another sequentially, allowing each the space of a full interview to articulate her experiences and reflections. This structure of data collection offers a new conceptualization of the way that elicitation functions; not just as a process inside of an interview, but one that is also shaped by factors preceding and outside of the individual …

How cooks navigate nutrition, hunger and care in public-sector foodservice settings
Objective To examine the perspectives and practices of cooks responsible for carrying out healthy meal programmes in publicly funded foodservice, in order to better understand what they consider to be ‘good’ food and where nutrition and nutritional standards fit into this conceptualization. Design A qualitative, exploratory study involving in-depth interviews that were conducted with cooks and their supervisors about their work practices and pers…
Pan de Yuca and Brown Rice
Efforts to provide “good” food to vulnerable populations in the United States are proliferating, and one major set of venues for these initiatives is publicly funded foodservice. While some aspects of these initiatives are well studied, the work that cooks do under new healthy food initiatives is often overlooked. Cooks shape what ends up on the plate and what is eaten, and thus their work influences the success of these efforts. At the same time…
Intimate Partner Violence Risk among Undergraduate Women from an Urban Commuter College
Evidence, Power, and Policy Change in Community-Based Participatory Research
Meaningful improvements in health require modifying the social determinants of health. As policies are often underlying causes of the living conditions that shape health, policy change becomes a health goal. This focus on policy has led to increasing interest in expanding the focus of community-based participatory research (CBPR) to change not only communities but also policies. To best realize this potential, the relationship between evidence an…
Missed Opportunities for Improving Nutrition Through Institutional Food
The institutional food sector—including food served in schools, child care settings, hospitals, and senior centers—is a largely untapped resource for public health that may help to arrest increasing rates of obesity and diet-related health problems. To make this case, we estimated the reach of a diverse institutional food sector in 1 large municipality, New York City, in 2012, and explored the potential for improving institutional food by buildin…
Say 'trouble's gone
The concept of biographical disruption has unique relevance for socioeconomically disadvantaged groups who participate in entry-level job training programmes. In these programmes trainees often suffer from various forms of chronic illness and must arrange these illnesses into a picture of employability. In this article I use ethnographic data and narrative analysis to examine closely two trainees' illness-related experiences, expressions and talk…

Sectoral Job Training as an Intervention to Improve Health Equity
A growing literature on the social determinants of health strongly suggests the value of examining social policy interventions for their potential links to health equity. I investigate how sectoral job training, an intervention favored by the Obama administration, might be conceptualized as an intervention to improve health equity. Sectoral job training programs ideally train workers, who are typically low income, for upwardly mobile job opportun…
