  • Explanatory models in real-world clinical interactions at a pediatric cancer center in Guatemala

    Open AccessLaura C Harrison, Silvia Rivas et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Explanatory models (EMs) are used in medical anthropology to characterize individual understandings of illness. This study investigated how interdisciplinary clinical interactions elicited caregiver EMs at a pediatric cancer center in Guatemala. This qualitative study included caregivers of 20 children with newly diagnosed cancer at Unidad Nacional de Oncología Pediátrica (UNOP) in Guatemala City, Guatemala. UNOP’s diagnostic process includes soc…

  • Advice to Clinicians on Communication from Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer and Parents of Children with Cancer

    Open AccessMeghana Srinivas, Erica C Kaye et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Effective communication is integral to patient and family-centered care in pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology and improving healthcare delivery and outcomes. There is limited knowledge about whether AYAs and parents have similar communication preferences and needs. By eliciting and comparing communication advice from AYAs and parents, we can identify salient guidance for how clinicians can better communicate. We performed sec…

  • The evolution of parents’ beliefs about childhood cancer during diagnostic communication

    Open AccessDylan E Graetz, Silvia Rivas et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

  • How Should We Enhance the Process and Purpose of Prognostic Communication in Oncology

    Open AccessBryan A Sisk, Jennifer W MackARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2018

    We propose that effective prognostic communication requires attention to the process and purpose of communication, where purpose represents the will and process the ability to communicate. Prognostic communication has historically challenged clinicians and patients. Few interventions have been developed to improve prognostic communication, and those that have been developed largely target the process of communication. We argue that more work is n…

  • The Construction of Equality

    Jennifer Mack, Jennifer W MackBOOKConstruction of Equality2017

    In The Construction of Equality , Jennifer Mack shows how Syriac-instigated architectural projects and spatial practices have altered the Swedish city’s built environment “from below.” Combining architectural, urban, and ethnographic tools through archival research, site work, participant observation, and interviews, Mack provides a unique take on urban development, social change, and the immigrant experience in Europe over a fifty-year period

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate use of intensive measures and hospice and location of death of AYA cancer patients insured by Medicaid in New York State. DESIGN: Using linked patient-level data from the New York State Cancer Registry and state Medicaid program, we identified 705 Medicaid patients who were diagnosed with cancer…

  • Deliberation and the Life Cycle of Informed Consent

    Open AccessSteven Joffe, Jennifer W MackARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2014

    In “Mindsets, Informed Consent and Research,” Lynn Jansen opens a promising new window onto consent for early-phase cancer trials. She hypothesizes that patients who have agreed to take part in these trials, most of whom have incurable cancers, adopt different cognitive orientations or mindsets during the predecisional “deliberative” phase than they do during the postdecisional “implementation” phase. The different objectives that individuals hol…
