Public Health Ethics: Mapping the Terrain
Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 170-178 - 2002
Public health ethics, like the field of public health it addresses,
traditionally has focused more on practice and particular cases than on theory,
with the result that some concepts, methods, and boundaries remain largely
undefined. This paper attempts to provide a rough conceptual map of the terrain
of public health ethics. We begin by briefly defining public health and
identifying general featu...
Managing Incidental Findings in Human Subjects Research: Analysis and Recommendations
Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 219-248 - 2008
Researchers, institutional review boards (IRBs), participants in human subjects
research, and their families face an important but largely neglected problem —
how should incidental findings (IFs) be managed in human subjects research. If
researchers unexpectedly stumble upon information of potential health or
reproductive significance, should they seek expert evaluation, contact the
participant’s ...
Physicians under the Influence: Social Psychology and Industry Marketing Strategies
Tập 41 Số 3 - Trang 665-672 - 2013
It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.– Leonardo da
VinciPhysicians often believe that a conscious commitment to ethical behavior
and professionalism will protect them from industry influence. Despite
increasing concern over the extent of physician-industry relationships,
physicians usually fail to recognize the nature and impact of subconscious and
unintentional biases on therap...
Rethinking the Meaning of Public Health
Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 144-149 - 2002
Public health is a dynamic field. Outbreaks of new diseases, as well as changing
patterns of population growth, economic development, and lifestyle trends all
may threaten public health and thus demand a public health response. As the
practice of public health evolves, there is an ongoing need to reassess its
scientific, ethical, legal, and social underpinnings. Such a reappraisal must
consider th...
Inclusiveness, Effectiveness and Intrusiveness: Issues in the Developing Uses of DNA Profiling in Support of Criminal Investigations
Tập 33 Số 3 - Trang 545-558 - 2005
Current methods of forensic DNA profiling (known also as DNA fingerprinting and
DNA typing), based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifications of a
varying number of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci found at different locations on
the human genome, are regularly described as constituting the “gold standard for
identification” in contemporary society. At a time when criminal justice systems
in ...
Integrating Law and Social Epidemiology
Tập 30 Số 4 - Trang 510-521 - 2002
Social epidemiology has made a powerful case that health determined not just by
individual-level factors such as our genetic make-up, access to medical
services, or lifestyle choices, but also by social conditions, including the
economy, law, and culture. Indeed, at the level of populations, evidence
suggests that these “structural” factors are thepredominantinfluences on health.

Conflicts of Interest and Your Physician: Psychological Processes That Cause Unexpected Changes in Behavior
Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 482-487 - 2012
The medical profession is under a state of increasing scrutiny. Recent high
profile scandals regarding substantial industry payments to physicians,
surgeons, and medical researchers have raised serious concerns over conflicts of
interest. Amidst this background, the public, physicians, and policymakers alike
appear to make the same assumption regarding conflicts of interest; that doctors
who succu...
Medical Tourism's Impact on Health Care Equity and Access in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Making the Case for Regulation
Tập 41 Số 1 - Trang 286-300 - 2013
Travelling internationally to acquire medical treatments otherwise unavailable
or inaccessible in one’s home country is not a novel concept. Conventionally,
such medical travel largely entailed patients from developed countries or
wealthy patients from the developing world seeking care in Western facilities
like the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. and myriad private clinics along Harley Street
in London, ...
IsInclusiveEducation a Human Right?
Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 754-767 - 2013
The widespread view — proclaimed by proponents of disability studies, some
disability federations, and many disabled people — that there is a human right
to inclusive education, was eventually substantiated by international law with
the UN Disability Convention (CRPD) in 2006. One of the most discussed issues in
disability studies concerns the CRPD; the contributions are legion.
Surprisingly, ther...
Turning Base Hits into Earned Runs: Improving the Effectiveness of Forensic DNA Data Bank Programs
Tập 34 Số 2 - Trang 222-233 - 2006
Forensic data banks contain biological samples and DNA extracts as well as
computerized databases of coded DNA profiles of convicted offenders, arrestees
and crime scene samples. When used for investigative and law enforcement
purposes, DNA data banks have been successful in providing key investigative
leads in hundreds of criminal investigations. A number of these crimes would
never have been res...
