An epistemic network analysis of patient decision-making regarding choice of therapy
Patient decision-making concerning therapy choice has been thoroughly investigated in the Push/Pull framework: factors pushing the patient away from biomedicine and those pulling them towards Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Others have examined lay etiology as a potential factor in CAM use. We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients employing only biomedicine and those using CAM. The coded and segmented data was quantifie…

Stirrings
In Stirrings Lana Dee Povitz argues that the fight for food justice in New York City led not to corporatization of grassroots efforts but rather to the creation of a service-oriented movement in which nonprofit organizations engaged in responsive, coordinated, and community-based social activism and direct provision of food. Her research centers on four case studies: United Bronx Parents, an antipoverty organization that worked to improve school …

Ensuring America's Health
In Ensuring America's Health Christy Ford Chapin explores how what she terms “the insurance company model” came to fundamentally shape health care financing and delivery in the United States (p. 2). Specifically, she traces how zealous defense of physician autonomy in the early twentieth century, led by the American Medical Association (AMA), supported a particular model of health insurance based on limited coverage and on reimbursement of indivi…
A Tutorial on Epistemic Network Analysis
This paper provides a tutorial on epistemic network analysis (ENA), a novel method for identifying and quantifying connections among elements in coded data and representing them in dynamic network models. Such models illustrate the structure of connections and measure the strength of association among elements in a network, and they quantify changes in the composition and strength of connections over time. Importantly, ENA enables comparison of n…

The Penny Lunch has Spread Faster than the Measles”
A few days before Thanksgiving in 1908, the home economist Mabel Hyde Kittredge initiated a school lunch program at an elementary school in Hell's Kitchen, serving soup and bread to hungry children in the infamous Manhattan neighborhood. The following year, she founded the School Lunch Committee (SLC), a voluntary organization composed of home economists, educators, physicians, and philanthropists dedicated to improving the nutritional health and…
Broken Hearts
In Broken Hearts, clinician-historian David Jones gives a fascinating and insightful history of the interplay between research on the causes of coronary artery disease and the development and assessment of therapeutic—especially surgical—approaches to cardiac care. This history, Jones argues, is about “the essential complexity of medical thinking” (3), and historians of medicine will recognize many familiar themes: the co-construction of knowledg…
Richard A. Meckel, Classrooms and Clinics
In Classrooms and Clinics, Richard Meckel examines the ‘attempt to use schools to provide health services to medically underserved children’ in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, providing historical context for the ‘fundamental issues, questions, and sociomedical arrangements’ (p. 2) that underlie recent attempts to establish school-based health care programmes. In doing so, Meckel addresses a key issue in th…
Education in the Best Interests of the Child
In 1914, Ernest Hoag and Lewis Terman claimed that the provision of medical services in schools was "less a question of parental responsibility than of children's rights" (p.120).Theirs was one of many arguments for the primacy of children's welfare in education policy, but as Howe and Covell demonstrate, education in the developed world still is not based on this principle.Indeed, they argue that "underachievement, disengagement, and inequality …
Children with Half-Starved Bodies” and the Assessment of Malnutrition in the United States, 1890–1950
Malnutrition was one of the most significant children’s health issues of the early twentieth century, but it also engendered considerable controversy. Just how many children were truly malnourished, and how could they be reliably identified? Despite the failures of numerous diagnostic methods—even the definition of malnutrition defied consensus—health authorities remained convinced that malnutrition was a serious and widespread problem. Indeed, t…
Meat, Medicine and Human Health in the Twentieth Century
The body of scholarship on food and diet in the historiography of modern medicine and public health is surprisingly small, especially considering the importance assigned to dietetics by health authorities and the centrality of nutrition in recent public health campaigns. Meat, Medicine and Human Health, which emerged from a workshop held at the National Library of Medicine in 2006, is an excellent contribution to this literature. Providing a cros…
