Clinical and Household Care, Health and Culture
In all cultures, health and health care extend beyond the walls of clinics and hospitals. Through the household production of health (HHPH), households draw on their internal knowledge, resources, and activity with available external technology, services, information, and skills to restore, maintain, and promote the health of their members. This model expands the narrow spotlight on acute illness episodes to everyday health maintenance and management of chronic disease, disability, depression, suffering, neglect, and abuse. The HHPH perspective thus highlights care in non-clinical spaces, i.e. community and home, by multiple caregivers. Further, households and community contexts are seen as sites of competition and collaboration in which certain members’ health needs are prioritized, and resources are distributed unequally along age, gender, and status lines. My work centers on home and clinical care during pregnancy and childbirth, perceived uses and dangers of pesticides, the role of domestic servants in household health, and electronic patient-practitioner interaction. My recent focus on public health improvement includes community partners extending beyond hospitals and clinics to stakeholders in retail, education, commercial, religious, and other fields.
