When the Bough Breaks: attached
Question: What biomedical and social factors based on socioeconomic status, presence of institutional and social racism/sexism, and mental health can be found that link the documentary “When the Bough Breaks” and the article regarding TB stigma in Bangladesh? Based on the conclusions, results, and propositions found in both examples: What has worked to reduce the chronic stress levels of African American expectant mothers to combat chronic stress and promote reduced low-birth-weight/premature infants prevalence, and are these measures sufficient? What additional data would you ascertain and analyze regarding the gender differences that exist in the reasons behind TB stigma? Based on what we’ve learned thus far in the course, what would be your next step so far as research initiatives in either of these cases as an epidemiologist?
