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
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, and the role of domestic servants
in household health.
