The ethno-racial basis of chronic diseases: Rethinking race and ethnicity from a critical epidemiological perspective
Abstract
An engaging five-day workshop on critical medical anthropology organised by CIESAS and UCL was coming to an end. It was a sunny Friday in January and the Central Valleys of Oaxaca promised a spectacle of beauty and historical heritage to a group of anthropologists. We were about to visit Monte Albán, an archaeological site, testament to the Zapotec civilisation and its power over the region. We were still riding the wave of the workshop debates when we met our tourist guide. We introduced ourselves to him and when Laura said that she worked with diabetes patients, the guide observed that

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.
