The field of medical anthropology is a discipline that
incorporates the perspective of a wide range of approaches--from
anthropologists, sociologists, epidemiologists, physicians, nurses,
public health administrators, biologists, and many others,
including the general public--to health care. This approach places
culture and cultural relativism at the forefront and center of
every model, and examines the ethics and fairness of health care
issues associated with the African American population.
The author examines data on mortality, census, preventive
health, alternative medical practices, clinical research, and
intervention from a comprehensive perspective. Finally, fieldwork
in a public health department setting provides the medical
anthropologist with a unique opportunity to investigate cultural
and health issues of a particular population in a public health
setting. The author explains the steps and procedures for
conducting an applied medical anthropological study, based on his
experience doing fieldwork projects over the past 15 years.
