Is Superdiversity a Useful Concept in European Medical Sociology
Medical sociology has a poor track record of researching diversity in theoretically innovative ways. This paper notes usage of the term superdiversity in migration and urban studies, to ask about its utility in general and more specifically for researching the social production of health and illness. Referring to a multi-country interview study about healthcare seeking strategies, the need to understand the diversification of diversity and the ch…
The anonymity paradox in patient engagement: Reputation, risk and web-based public feedback
The UK National Health Service (NHS) has long espoused patient and public engagement. Recent years have seen increasing use of internet-based methods of collecting feedback about patient experience and public and staff views about NHS services and priorities. Often hailed as a means of facilitating participative democratic patient engagement, these processes raise a number of complex issues. A key aspect of it is the opportunity for comment to be…
Pathways to care: How Superdiversity Shapes the Need for Navigational Assistance
The recently developed sociological concept of superdiversity provides a potentially interesting and useful way of developing an understanding of life in contemporary Europe. Here we report on research based on individual narratives about access to health care, as described by a range of people from very different sociocultural backgrounds in four European countries. This article notes the frequent appearance in first-person narratives of the nee…
Youth Justice and Education: A Typology of Educational Approaches to the Resocialisation of Young Offenders in Spain
The Young Offenders Act that entered Spanish law in 2000 represents a significant attempt to place personalised educational programmes for young people with social/criminal problems at the centre of policy and practice. This paper examines the teams and educational programmes designed to manage and implement the goal of ‘re-socialisation’ enshrined in the Act. This paper focuses on an analytical typology of the educational styles used at young of…
Understanding patient and professional conceptions of “trust”. Lessons from the Pebl project, an experiment in anonymous micro-blogging for the continuous assessment of patient experience
Introduction: Commissioners and service providers in Primary Care need reliable and regular information about how health services fit into the lives of the users. Indeed the requirement for this kind of information is becoming ever more pressing as the patient voice gains power, and responding to the priorities and perspectives of communities of service users climbs the healthcare agenda. It is also increasingly important for providers and commis…
Everyday Ideas of Inheritance and Health in Britain: Implications for Predictive Genetic Testing
In this chapter I am presenting an analysis of data collected in three research sites in South Wales in 1988–90. Qualitative interviews were carried out with a randomly selected sample of adults (N=180). These individuals were drawn from the electoral registers of three quite different electoral wards. Plasnewydd (an inner-city, socially mixed part of central Cardiff), Porth (an industrial and service town in the Rhondda Borough) and Llangammarch…
Lifecourse and lifestyle: The social and cultural location of health behaviours
The potential social impact of predictive genetic testing for susceptibility to common chronic diseases: A review and proposed research agenda
Recent advances in molecular genetics are making it increasingly feasible to construct individual genetic profiles predicting susceptibility to heart disease, cancer and respiratory disorders. This paper reviews current knowledge about the social and cultural impact of providing people with information relating to their risk for future disease, focusing not only on currently available predictive genetic testing but also on hypertension, hyperlipi…
The limits of lifestyle: Re-assessing 'fatalism' in the popular culture of illness prevention
Lay epidemiology and the prevention paradox: The Implications of Coronary Candidacy for Health Education
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 …
