Insurance Status and Biological and Psychosocial Determinants of Cardiometabolic Risk Among Mexican-Origin U.S. Hispanic/Latino Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose: Hispanics/Latinos in the United States bear higher burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated complications compared with the general population. Health insurance coverage is also lower in this population. We examined the association of health insurance with biological and psychosocial determinants of cardiometabolic risk among U.S. Mexican-origin Hispanic/Latino adults with T2D. Methods: Participants were self-reported Hispanic/Lati…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Burden and Cost of Diabetes for US Medicare Beneficiaries
Purpose: To examine the burden and cost of diabetes among fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries. Methods: Medicare 5% File data for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) consisting of 1,397,933 enrollees in fee-for-service without Medicare Advantage during the period 2012–2013 were analyzed by race and ethnicity. Results: Although non-Hispanic whites (nHWs) comprised most of this population (86%), prevalence of T1D and T2D was higher f…
Risk screening, emergency care, and lay concepts of complications during pregnancy in Chiapas, Mexico
Introduction: The Anthropology-Map Merger
The potential of merging anthropology and mapping became clear to us (guest editors Namino Glantz & Ben McMahan) as we sought novel means of improving health among the elderly in Mexico. To share our own experiences and hear about others, we organized a session—The medical anthropology-map merger: Harnessing GIS for participatory health research—at the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) Annual Meeting, held in March 2007 in Tampa, Florida. P…
Formative Research and Participatory GIS Mapping: Elder Well-Being in Chiapas, Mexico
This article grows out of my (NG) ongoing research on well-being among older adults in Comitán, a small city in Chiapas, Mexico. This work has aimed at jumpstarting two interwoven processes: (1) obtaining, analyzing, and applying information on elder demographics, lifestyles, health, and care, and (2) engaging local stakeholders (elders, care providers, policymakers, social scientists, the media) in the process. The research has assumed a formati…
Childbirth Care-Seeking Behavior in Chiapas
This study was designed to better understand how women in a developing region choose between the multiple options available to them for birthing. We conducted focused, open-ended ethnographic interviews with 38 nonindigenous, economically marginal women in Chiapas, Mexico. We found that although medical services for birthing were readily available to them, these women most often chose traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for assistance with their …
Studying Domestic Violence in Chiapas, Mexico
Conjugal violence is common in the Border Region of Chiapas, Mexico, with serious repercussions for women's health and well-being. To understand local perceptions of and responses to violence, the authors conducted focused, open-ended ethnographic interviews with 40 nonindigenous, economically marginal women of the community. This article describes the data collection, analysis methodology, and findings concerning informants' concepts of the natu…
Studying domestic violence: Perceptions of women in Chiapas Mexico
In 1994, the Comitdn Centre for Health Research and the College of the Southern Border in Chiapas, Mexico, launched an ethnographic study on sexual and reproductive health among Ladina women in the border region of Chiapas. Questions regarding alcohol abuse, violence and sexual coercion were included, because it was clear that these topics are closely intertwined. This paper presents some initial findings on the perceptions of 40 Ladina women reg…
