Did changing climate in the tropical South Pacific contribute to the eastward migration and settlement of Polynesia
The migration of humans into the eastern Pacific was relatively rapid and focused around 900-1250 CE. Although the causes for this migration are varied, we put forward evidence to suggest that a change in the mean state of the tropical South Pacific from La Niña like to El Niño like conditions accompanied by an increase in climate “shocks” around the period of migration, could have created conditions to promote migration east into the Pacific. We…
Putting Health care Where the Kids Are
BACKGROUND: School-based health centers (SBHCs) have been shown to offer substantial benefits to students but we know little about how the public thinks about them. We sought to assess US public attitudes about SBHCs and the provision of 7 health service lines-primary care, preventive care, vaccinations, preventive dental care, preventive vision care, mental health care, and nutrition counseling. METHODS: We administered a national online survey …
Clarifying Misconceptions About School‐Based Health Care
BACKGROUND: To health professionals working in American school-based health centers, the benefits of school-based health programs are obvious. The philosophical warrant for this work has been reasserted for over 70 years. And yet, the divisiveness of health and health care in the U.S. has led to questions and even concerns about the appropriateness of co-locating healthcare services in schools. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRACTICE: We address three common m…
Physicians in congress
Despite a long history of physician service in the U.S. Congress, scholars have not yet provided a systematic study of physician members of Congress (PMCs) behavior once elected. Using publicly available data, the authors built a database of all PMCs, including years served, gender, and party affiliation since 1921, merging these data with information on PMC lawmaking activities since 1973. We show that, relative to other members, PMCs are substa…
Schools at the center of a public health emergency
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's expansion of COVID-19 vaccine eligibility in 2021 to include children presented opportunities and challenges to ensure widespread access. Children, and especially adolescents, were a crucial target population to reduce community positivity rates and support a resumption of in-person academics. Though existing school-based vaccination programs have demonstrated success in improving vaccination rates on an in…
Social Determinants of Health as a Lens for Understanding Local News Reporting
While scholars have long examined media bias, few studies have systematically examined how media represents health within American urban neighborhoods. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of 10 years of news articles of one Ohio neighborhood, the authors apply a social determinants of health (SDOH) lens to the coverage of one urban newspaper. The study's aim is to understand what a SDOH approach might tell us about local and ongoing coverage of his…
An Imperfect Space
BACKGROUND: From a range of perspectives, scholars have demonstrated the value of school-based health centers (SBHCs) in recent decades, but few studies have examined the logistics of establishing SBHCs. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 9 hospital and 6 school employees involved in a network of SBHCs. After common themes were identified, cluster analysis was performed. Finally, quotes were identified within each thematic cl…
Medicine at a Crossroads
The Supreme Court’s undoing of almost 50 years of precedent asserting a constitutional guarantee of abortion rights is a tectonic shift in American reproductive health. In this commentary we examine some of the likely consequences of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization for three groups within American medicine: patients, practicing physicians, and physicians-in-training. Using these consequences as a backdrop, we explain not only what qu…
Should Hospital Emergency Departments Be Used as Revenue Streams Despite Needs to Curb Overutilization
This case asks how a hospital should balance patients' health needs with its financial bottom line regarding emergency department utilization. Should hospitals engage in proactive population health initiatives if they result in decreased revenue from their emergency departments? Which values should guide their thinking about this question? Drawing upon emerging legal and moral consensus about hospitals' obligations to their surrounding communitie…
How Should Health Care Organizations and Communities Work Together to Improve Neighborhood Conditions
In the past few decades, scholars have begun to establish ethical principles for public health engagement. A key tension has been how to reconcile public health improvement with local autonomy in decision making so as to express respect for community members' on-the-ground experience. This article describes the experience of one children's hospital in learning to ethically engage a surrounding community in conversations about housing development …
Listening to Quackery
Urban Hospitals as Anchor Institutions
Recent policy developments are forcing many hospitals to supplement their traditional focus on the provision of direct patient care by using mechanisms to address the social determinants of health in local communities. Sociologists have studied hospital organizations for decades, to great effect, highlighting key processes of professional socialization and external influences that shape hospital-based care. New methods are needed, however, to cap…
What Challenges Do Nonprofit Hospitals Face in Taking on Community Health Needs Assessments? A Qualitative Study From Appalachian Ohio
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of Appalachian hospitals in undertaking Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs). Of particular interest is whether new requirements to undertake regular evaluation and public health programming pose challenges for rural, Appalachian hospitals. METHODS: Using a sample of nonprofit hospitals in Appalachian Ohio, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with hospital administ…

Challenges in public health pedagogy

When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics
As Robert P. Saldin explains in his important new book, in 2009, the decades-long policy challenge of establishing a system for addressing Americans’ long-term care needs received a strong push that would eventually link its fate to the Barack Obama administration’s signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Almost as soon as it made it across the legislative finish line, however, the Community Living Assistance and Service…
Defining “Community” in Community Health Evaluation
This article examines the theoretical basis of the community as it is evoked in health evaluation. In particular, we examine how hospitals carrying out Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) define communities as well as the implications for these definitions for how to study and engage community problems. We present qualitative findings from a sample of Appalachian nonprofit hospitals, who we asked to describe their approach to defining the …
What should churches do? Evangelical perspectives on church involvement in an era of community health
Health disparities in the US pose a significant challenge to scholars, providers, and community activists. An ongoing transition to population health shifts the focus away from individual health outcomes to the prevention of disease and the wellbeing of communities. This approach, however, requires developing partnerships with communities to enact appropriate interventions. In this article, Evangelical churches, an important community institution…
Changing medical relationships after the ACA
American health care has undergone significant organizational change in recent decades. But what is the state of core medical relationships in the wake of these changes? Throughout ACA-era health care reform, the doctor-patient relationship was targeted as a particularly important focus for improving communication and health outcomes. Recent developments however have shifted the focus from individual-level outcomes to the wellbeing of populations…

Remembering Marshall Berman
Daniel Skinner studied with Marshall Berman, Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the City University of New York, from 2002–2009. In this tribute Skinner explains why Professor Berman was not only an influential scholar of political theory and urban politics, but a committed pedagogue and model for young academics
The Affordable Care Act and assisted reproductive technology use
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has prompted numerous gender and sexuality controversies. We describe and analyze those involving assisted reproductive technologies (ART). ART in the United States has been regulated in piecemeal fashion, with oversight primarily by individual states. While leaving state authority largely intact, the ACA federalized key practices by establishing essential health benefits (EHBs) that regulate insurance markets and pr…

The Politics of Medical Necessity in American Abortion Debates
As anti-choice adherents have transitioned from a scattered movement in the early twentieth century to an organized political interest group in recent decades (Mohr 1978), American abortion politics has moved to medical rather than political ground. Accordingly, advocates of safe, legal abortion have become mired in interpretative debates over abortion's medical necessity rather than its political value. To be sure, this turn was not the product …

Unsought Responsibility
This article examines the politics of "passive voice" in U.S. Supreme Court opinions. We first recast the phenomenon of passive voice as a matter of strategic writing and subject it to political analysis. We then argue that a productive relationship between active and passive writing is required by the conventions of legal legitimacy, particularly as it requires distance from politics. To illustrate the politics of passive legal writing, we exami…
Eminent Domain and the Rhetorical Construction of Sovereign Necessity
This article examines the logic of necessity in eminent domain cases in the United States. While much has been written about “public use” justifications as adjudicated by courts, less attention has been paid to necessity. In part this is because public use is an explicit part of Fifth Amendment limitations on “takings” while necessity is part of the buried logic of sovereignty that grounds its exercise. Readings of pivotal cases from McCulloch to…
Keep Your Government Hands Off My Medicare
This article analyzes the political effects of American media coverage on Tea Party health care politics. It suggests that the American media’s inability to critique the neoliberal assumptions that lay at the foundation of Tea Party ideology have served—however inadvertently—to excite ideological confusion in American health care debates, especially those surrounding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Specifically, this article…
Political Theory beyond the Rhetoric–Reason Divide
This article engages the longstanding debate over Hobbes's use of rhetoric, with the aim of rethinking both the political logic ofLeviathanand the way contemporary theorists approach rhetoric in relation to reason. Rhetoric was a particularly acute problem for Thomas Hobbes, whose pursuit of a stable political order may appear to require the absence of rhetoric and the presence of a purely rational order. This appearance is misleading, and it is …
Beyond Sentimentalisms and Seductions
What are feminists doing to engage global capitalism, and how are they doing it? Should we return to traditional Marxist frameworks? Or does a radical feminist project require that we pursue greener, more critical pas- tures? Each of the texts under review asks us to consider feminist politics in the face of ever changing labor conditions, global poverty, militarism, and marketing. Laura Levine Frader has written a deeply researched study of the …

The Gendering of Cancer Survivorship
This article examines the relationship between gender and cancer survivorship. I argue that gender is as critical as a category of analysis for understanding cancer survivorship as it is missing from survivorship studies, particularly as concerns the identificatory basis of survivor culture and clinical studies regarding survivors’ quality of life (QOL). This under-studied question of the gendering of survivorship is critical because the conseque…

Defining Medical Necessity under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
While the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 promises to expand care to millions of Americans, how the bill will determine the meaning of medical necessity—the concept that continues to serve as the key means for regulating the utilization of health care services—remains an open question. Instead of detailing what is and is not considered medically necessary, the ACA charges the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services wi…
