Huli Response to Illness
Lawlor Et Al. Respond
Bassett points out that our analysis ignores targeted marketing by tobacco companies and that to see smoking prevalence as an outcome only of personal choice is an incomplete view. We, along with Bassett and others, deplore the tactics of the tobacco industry.1–3 We did not claim in our article that the smoking prevalence observed in a population was the result only of personal choice. We pointed out that socioeconomic inequalities acting through…
Smoking and Ill Health
The resistance of disadvantaged groups to anti-smoking advice is remarkable. In relation to the study of differing cultures, there is a long-standing academic tradition assuming that behavior that may otherwise be difficult to understand is indeed rational within particular cultural contexts. Persistent smoking among the most deprived members of society may represent a rational response to their life chances informed by a lay epidemiology. Health…
Why are suicide rates rising in young men but falling in the elderly?-a time-series analysis of trends in England and Wales 1950-1998
Urban-rural differences in suicide trends in young adults
Childhood leg length and adult mortality
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation between childhood height, its components--leg length and trunk length--and mortality in adulthood. DESIGN: Cohort study based on the Carnegie (Boyd Orr) Survey of diet and health in pre-war Britain, 1937-9. SETTING: The 14 centres in England and Scotland that participated in the Carnegie Survey and where children were examined. Scottish centres: Aberdeen, Dundee, West Wemyss, Coaltown of Wemyss, Hopeman, Met…
Finding and Using Inter-war Maternity Records
This paper describes the results of a search for the obstetric records of a cohort of over 5,000 children who participated in surveys of childhood diet and growth during the late 1930s and early 1940s conducted by the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen. The surveys were conducted at sixteen centres throughout England and Scotland. Birth-weight data were found in hospitals, health authority archives and local authority record offices for approx…
Outpatients revisited
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To assess the scope for reducing unnecessary outpatient reattendances, using a benchmark an acute specialty at a site recognised to have an especially low ratio of repeat to new attendances. DESIGN--This was a survey of the re-attendance workload at general surgery outpatient clinics over a three month period. Patient re-booking and discharge rates for different grades of staff; clinicians' perception of the ability of the GP to …
The hospital admissions study in England
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To assess the potential for substituting alternative forms of care for admission to an acute hospital in particular groups of patients. DESIGN--A screening tool, the intensity-severity-discharge review system with adult criteria (ISD-A), developed for hospital utilisation review in the USA, was used in a cohort of hospital admissions to identify a group of patients who could potentially have been treated outside the acute hospita…
The limits of lifestyle
The epidemiology of indications
Lay epidemiology and the prevention paradox
This paper is concerned with the appropriateness of current attempts to prevent chronic disease through behavioural change. Based on extensive ethnographic research in South Wales, the paper suggests that, within contemporary British health culture, there exists a well developed lay epidemiology which has a significant bearing on the public plausibility of modern health promotion messages. The paper describes the notion of the coronary candidate …

The Huli Response to Illness
Dr Frankel's study of the rapid transformation of traditional medical care among the Huli of New Guinea by Western treatments strikingly combines the methods of social anthropology and epidemiology. Until the 1950s the Huli used only their own form of therapy, including symptomatic treatments, specialist surgery and major ritual intended to enlist the support of spirits. Since then, superficially at least, there has been a rejection of many tradi…
