Cultural and translation challenges in assessing health literacy among immigrants from the former Soviet Union
Health literacy is an important foundation for health promotion and an under-recognized risk factor for immigrant and refugee groups. Yet measuring health literacy among diverse ethnic and linguistic populations presents complex challenges. We describe cultural and translation challenges encountered in measuring health literacy among Russian-speaking immigrants to the USA and offer a mixed-methods approach to understanding them. The Rx-Health Lit…
A Qualitative Investigation of the Experiences of Tobacco Use among U.S. Adults with Food Insecurity
The context of tobacco use among adults with food insecurity was highly complex. To effectively address tobacco-related disparities among those who are socially and economically disadvantaged, tobacco control efforts should consider relevant lived experiences and structural constraints intersecting smoking and food insecurity. Findings are applied to a conceptualization of clustering of conditions contributing to nicotine dependence, food insecur…

The pharmaceutical regulation of chronic disease among the U.S. urban poor: An ethnographic study of accountability
The Massachusetts experience of health care reform before the Affordable Care Act of 2010 reveals a moral economy of care in which expanded access was met by neoliberal demands for accountability and cost control. Publicly-subsidized health insurance programs in the U.S. are deeply concerned with managing and regulating low-income residents' access to and coverage for medications. By focusing our attention on the new forms of social relations inv…
Everyday violence, structural racism and mistreatment at the US-Mexico border
The Ethical Self-Fashioning of Physicians and Health Care Systems in Culturally Appropriate Health Care
The logic of identity and resemblance in culturally appropriate health care
Greater diversity in the health care workforce is frequently proposed as a means of addressing health disparities between minority and majority populations in the USA by improving health care access and quality for minority groups. 'Culturally appropriate' health care programs that include ethnic resemblance between physician and patient are emerging as new technologies of knowledge and power in a wide range of health care settings. Based on part…
The Role of Culture in Health Literacy and Chronic Disease Screening and Management
Incitements to Discourse: Illicit Drugs, Harm Reduction, and the Production of Ethnographic Subjects
This essay traces a brief genealogy of state-funded drug ethnography and its relationship to public health projects such as HIV prevention. Ethnographic research on drug use was a critical part of making invisible practices visible in ways that rendered them amenable to intervention. The essay goes on to describe how harm-reduction norms were promulgated through the bottom-up tactics of health-oriented social movements, and simultaneously adminis…
Public Citizens, Marginalized Communities: The Struggle for Syringe Exchange in Springfield, Massachusetts
Syringe exchange programs, which, in order to prevent HIV infections, provide injection drug users with sterile syringes in exchange for used ones, operate at the intersection of conflicting social and political beliefs about disease, drugs, the common good, and the law. This paper describes community opposition that emerged from diverse quarters in response to a proposed syringe exchange program (SEP) in Springfield, Massachusetts. White suburba…
The Politics of Recognition in Culturally Appropriate Care
Over the last 20 years, the concept of culturally appropriate health care has been gradually gaining popularity in medicine and public health. In calling for health care that is culturally appropriate, minority groups seek political recognition of often racialized constructions of cultural difference as they intervene in health care planning and organization. Based on interview narratives from people involved in community organizing to establish …
