Lessons learned from the Canadian Fabry Disease Initiative for future risk-sharing and managed access agreements for pharmaceutical and advanced therapies in Canada
Risk sharing agreements (RSAs) and managed access agreements have emerged as tools to overcome evidentiary uncertainty and contain costs of pharmaceuticals; however, Canada has relatively little experience with these health policy instruments. This article describes one of the few examples of national RSAs. Enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) were introduced in Canada to treat Fabry disease in the early 2000s through an RSA. Based on qualitative i…

Socio-Cultural characteristics of usability of bioinformatics databases and tools
With the increasing importance of the usability of bioinformatics systems and databases, this paper examines the socio-cultural characteristics that may affect the usability of such tools. We understand socio-cultural characteristics to be the norms, values, and beliefs that mediate the interactions between the structures and institutions of science (i.e. disciplines, universities, funding organizations), and its practitioners. These factors are …

Making Sense of Medicines
How do patients make sense of their medication, how do they link it to their own state of health, and how do they cope with it within the context of their daily life? Such questions represent significant gaps in traditional medical sociology, which has to date been dominated by research into the role of producers and intermediaries in shaping the social world of medicines. This paper examines the social construction of the meaning of medicine thr…
Managing HuGE Expectations
This paper examines the rhetorical processes by which spokespersons and practitioners of human genome epidemiology (HuGE) try to articulate and legitimate their methods and approaches, while solidifying their future in American public health as a discipline at the intersection of epidemiological and genomic discourses. Based on works within the ‘dynamics of expectations’ this examination seeks to expand on the temporal understanding of expectatio…
