How health workers experience health system reform
BACKGROUND: Health system reforms have been ubiquitous in high-income countries during the past decades, yet research on how reform implementation is experienced by the health and care workforce (HCWF) remains scant. This is a critical omission, given that the recruitment and retention of the HCWF is recognized as one of the key challenges of health systems globally, and one which health system reforms often set out to solve. OBJECTIVE: To study …
Frames of cooperation
Cooperation and interaction are essential in governance networks (GNs), yet how they manifest in practice remains unclear. This study explores cooperation within GNs, focusing on interactional dynamics that shape horizontal policymaking during pandemic governance. Using an inductive frame analysis approach, we examine governance interactions through interviews from Finland’s COVID-19 response. We identify four frames of cooperation that reveal ho…
How is a large-scale reform perceived by citizens in Finnish primary health care
We build on the anthropology of health systems and policy to study how Finland's 2023 health and social services reform has been perceived and experienced by citizens, and how these perceptions reflect broader societal shifts. We draw on interviews (n = 65) and 11 months of ethnographic fieldwork completed from January to November 2024 in Finnish primary health care in three regions. Citizen reactions towards the reform were mixed, ranging from f…
‘Anthropological Enough?’
In this article, we discuss how fieldwork completed ‘at home’ in the USA presented challenges and resulted in our work being considered not ‘anthropological enough’. Centring our article around our individual projects for which primary data collection was completed prior to COVID-19, we explore a variety of issues related to methodology and structural constraints we experienced as graduate students in anthropology and now as junior scholars. Draw…
Finnish or Finnish American Food? A Comparison of Food Cultures among Finnish Americans in Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, and Washington
This article examines the heritagization of certain foods as Finnish American foods. By comparing certain Finnish American festivals with the Finnish and Finnish American community in Florida, the article aims to showcase which foods are considered to be Finnish American today. By comparing the foods served at Finnish American festivals in Minnesota, Michigan, Washington with the foods eaten in Florida, the authors are able to limit the regional …
Power and politics in a pandemic
Power and politics are both critical concepts to engage with in health systems and policy research, as they impact actions, processes, and outcomes at all levels in health systems. Building on the conceptualization of health systems as social systems, we investigate how power and politics manifested in the Finnish health system during COVID-19, posing the following research question: in what ways did health system leaders and experts experience i…
Using Photovoice to Understand Perspectives on Safe Infant Sleep Practices among Caregivers Enrolled in Perinatal Home Visiting
Sudden and unexpected infant death (SUID), often associated with unsafe infant sleep practices, remains a leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) programs provide evidence-based individualized education, support, and resources to promote infant and child health, including promotion of safe infant sleep guidelines. The purpose of this qualitative evaluation was to explore…

Statewide Implementation of Virtual Perinatal Home Visiting During Covid-19
Food Insecurity and Health-Related Quality of Life
Individuals 65 years or older will comprise an estimated 20.0% of the U.S. population by 2030. This study investigated the association between food insecurity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among an older adult population (n = 234). HRQoL was measured using Healthy Days, a validated survey tool developed by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Food-insecure individuals were more likely to report ≥14 physically unhealthy days…
