This book shows how practitioners in the emerging field of 'cultural epidemiology' describe human health, communicate with diverse audiences, and intervene to improve health and prevent disease. It uses textual and statistical portraits of disease to describe past and present collaborations between anthropology and epidemiology. Interpreting epidemiology as a cultural practice helps to reveal the ways in which measurement, causal thinking, and intervention design are all influenced by belief, habit, and theories of power. By unpacking many common disease risks and epidemiologic categories, this book reveals unexamined assumptions and shows how sociocultural context influences measurement of disease. Examples include studies of epilepsy, cholera, mortality on the Titanic, breastfeeding, and adolescent smoking. The book describes methods as varied as observing individuals, measuring social networks, and compiling data from death certificates. It argues that effective public health interventions must work more often and better at the level of entire communities.

評分via 塞瑞:"這本書講的是人類學對公共衛生有多幾把重要"/終於在2013年結束之前把這本書讀完瞭,寫得特彆好!探討瞭對統計,流行病學方法的局限,分析瞭在流行病學中文化概念以及人類學參與的重要性和必要性。公共衛生可以和人類學聯手,對我來說是很有啓發的。 中英對照著讀的,學瞭好多奇怪的病的名字。。
