“It Looks Like You’re Making Very Healthy Choices”
Addressing patient-clinician communication barriers to improve multiple chronic disease care is a public health priority. While significant research exists about the patient-clinician encounter, less is known about how to support patient-clinician communication about lifestyle changes that includes the context of people's lives. Data come from a larger photo-based primary care study collected from 13 participants who were adults 60 or older with …

“We don’t say that word out loud”
In this article, we use grounded practical theory to develop a practical theory for using “difficult data” in Language and Social Interaction university classes. “Difficult data” are transcribed, audio/video-recorded data that contain language and ideologies that could be offensive, bigoted, or otherwise disturbing. We provide contextual literature for understanding the pedagogical tensions around using these data from communication pedagogy rese…
A spectrum of speech codes
This qualitative methodological review documents and analyzes thirty years of published empirical research using Speech Codes Theory (SCT). Ninety-four publications were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Nearly half of the studies used participant observation/ethnography, but other data such as media and non-observational methods were also utilized. Over half of the studies culminated in a speech code. Speech codes occur with various lev…

Skimming the Scum
Cet article analyse le partage intergénérational de recettes de soupes familiales chez les Sino-Américains à partir d’enregistement audio et video de séances de cuisine. Trois thèmes principaux ressortent: 1) la construction de l’hygiène au cours de la préparation des repas, 2) l’interrogation de l’authenticité et de la “chinoisité” dans les pratiques d’alimentation, et, 3) la revendication du capital culturel comme élement identitaire d’un group…
Pilot Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of Integrative Nutritional Counseling Versus Standard Diabetes Self-Management Education for Chinese Americans with Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose: Chinese Americans (CAs) with diabetes and limited English proficiency often struggle to adhere to standard diabetes diets focused on food measurement/restriction. Chinese medicine principles commonly inform food choices among CAs but are rarely acknowledged in nutritional interventions. We developed and tested feasibility of a theoretically informed integrative nutritional counseling (INC) program that combines Chinese medicine principle…
Can We Talk About It Now? Recognizing the Optimal Time to Initiate End-of-Life Care Discussions with Older Chinese Americans and Their Families
Introduction: Older Chinese Americans often defer end-of-life care discussions. Researchers sought to explore how to engage older Chinese Americans and their families in end-of-life care discussions and to understand the optimal timing to initiate such discussions. Methods: Individual, semistructured interviews were conducted with 14 community-dwelling older Chinese Americans, 9 adult children, and 7 clinicians. The data were collected and analyz…
We (Tong) Chinese”
This paper explores discursive ways Chinese American older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) take ownership of their health management. Fifteen patient stakeholders with T2DM took part in four focus group interviews. We used qualitiative discourse analysis to examine how participants used the phrase, “We (Tong) Chinese,” and variants, to index models of Chinese-living-in-the-U.S. personhoods, to incorporate “Chinese” and “western” ways …
Interactional formats and institutional context
This paper applies practically oriented discourse analysis to focus \ngroup interviews using conversation analytic principles to show how interactional \nqualities demonstrably different to analysts are also treated as such by \nparticipants. \nWe take a grounded practical theory perspective to claim that the \nempirical and practical distinction is an exploitable resource for participants, \nwith important implications for the goals of research …
"Have You Seen Your Aura Lately?" Examining Boundary-Work in Holistic Health Pamphlets
An increasing number of people in the United States are using holistic therapies. Both encouraging and informing this trend in growth, printed leaflets are a popular and important medium for holistic health practitioners. Using a discourse analytic approach, the author analyzed pamphlets and printed texts distributed at a holistic health fair. These texts reflect and construct specific understandings of holistic health and proper health care. Und…
Behold the Power of Qi
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has recently gained a great deal of popular and scholarly attention. However, little work in this area has examined how people actually talk about TCM as a health care system and its implicit assumptions about health, illness, and treatment. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in an acupuncture community, I describe a Qi-based speech code examining the importance and necessity of Qi (most simply translated…
