Document Summary

Study guide: history of health care class 3 (september 22, 2016) Global fund donors pledge nearly billion to help end epidemics (malaria, tb and hiv/aids) -> recent! Antagonism between anglophone and francophone in quebec in. White english doctors would tell people not to congregate in large groups (public health told them to) The church did not tell their people not to congregate so the francophone christians got the disease and the anglophones did not get it. Religion was a key player in the spreading of the disease. The social construction of scientific and medical knowledge. Women in the 1800"s did not realize that the clothes they wanted to wear contained toxins (mercury and arsenic) that was harmful to their health, they were uninformed. Some disciplines use statistical data and others use qualitative data; people have a prejudice against qualitative data in universities (ie postpartum depression, would be hard to get quantitative data for this type of study)
