Abstract

Last trata da questão da profissionalização de agentes de saúde locais (ou indígenas, como prefere o autor) em diferentes países, indo desde o modelo soviético, caracterizado pelo controle estatal, quase que não permitindo a expressão de outras práticas que não a oficial, até os modelos nigeriano, hindu e britânico.Este último, segundo os autores, está entre os mais pluralistas.Rubinstein & Lane discutem o impacto dos grandes projetos financiados por agências internacionais como a USAID, WHO, UNICEF, dentre outras, abordando o papel do antropólogo nestes programas.Finalmente, o capítulo de P. J. Pelto & G. H. Pelto (Field Methods in Medical Anthropology) aborda, sucintamente, a questão do método antropológico e sua aplicação no estudo das doenças.Os autores apresentam o que consideram serem as questões básicas para a investigação em antropologia médica e discutem o desenho da pesquisa, unidades de pesquisa, amostragem, técnicas de entrevista e o uso de microcomputadores no campo.Contudo, não compartilho do ponto de vista expresso pelos autores de que a metodologia de pesquisa antropológica possa ser apresentada de modo ateórico (nontheoretical) ou neutro (theory-neutral).Em suma, pode-se dizer que todos os capítulos do livro são úteis e representam boas introduções aos diferentes temas tratados.Trata-se, portanto, de referência importante que pode ser usado em cursos de pós-graduação como ponto de partida para discussões mais aprofundadas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
