Many people are skeptical of the efficacy of what has become known as “alternative medicine,” such as acupuncture and homeopathy. The therapeutic effects of alternative medicine have not been conclusively documented, particularly from patients' subjective viewpoints. This paper investigates patients' perceptions of health change following the use of alternative medicine in Cuenca, Ecuador. Present and past patients of two alternative medical doctors, an acupuncturist and a homeopath, were interviewed to assess current symptoms, symptom severity rating, and satisfaction with the treatment program. Patients were reinterviewed for follow-up, and interviews with Cuenca community members were undertaken to gather information on the extent of the use of alternative medicine. Results were promising and showed that a substantial proportion of patients reported health improvements following alternative medical use. Overall, positive health changes are perceived and reported by individuals who chose to use alternative medicine.

Our communities, particularly the poor and minority, are experiencing the destructive effects of neoliberal policies. Such policies dismantle social safety nets, locate causes of poverty and criminality in individual bodies and neighborhoods, and foster the privatized “free” market as the solution to our society's problems. Although government, at all levels, abandons the social welfare agenda, individual residents and neighborhoods are forced to assume further responsibility for managing and improving immiserated conditions. Dedicated residents, student volunteers, and service agency workers provide the only stop-gap between “making ends meet” and destitution (Edin and Lein 1997). This paper is an account of a summer youth program developed by two anthropology students, as a result of their long-term, politically engaged ethnographic work among community residents, and children and staff at a recreation center located in an ethnically diverse but minority and low-income concentrated neighborhood. Incorporating the aspects of experiential education, service-learning, community development and applied anthropology, we endeavored to demonstrate that a politicized anthropology was capable of doing more than just documenting the effects of structural violence, the dif.culties experienced by marginalized populations, and the effectiveness of personal agency. Through engaged ethnography and collaboration we helped create new knowledge and applications that have been useful and valued by the community and other researchers at the University of South Florida.

This paper discusses the evaluation of Michigan's High-Risk Hepatitis B Vaccination Program using ethnographic methods. Ninety-six face-to-face interviews were conducted in Family Planning, Sexually Transmitted Disease, and Adolescent Health clinics throughout Michigan. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine why many Michigan residents who sought care at these clinics refused free hepatitis B vaccines and others failed to complete the vaccination series. Key reasons for refusal included lack of knowledge about hepatitis B, lack of knowledge about vaccines, and inconvenience. This paper explores how using ethnographic research methods—one—on—one interviews and participant—observation—captured data from this population that would likely have not been discovered using quantitative research methods.

The rapid sociocultural, political and economic change following the fall of apartheid in South Africa presents a unique opportunity to study gender equality and empowerment through the availability of nonformal education (NFE) and employment programs in the disadvantaged Khayelitsha area on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa, where half of the population is jobless. Philani, a community-based nonprofit NGO, offers women immediate assistance in three main ways: skills development, training, and employment; nutrition rehabilitation and health; and an on-site preschool program. The efficacy of the program, definitions of empowerment, gender relations, and future employment opportunities were examined through the use of individually structured interviews with Philani participants. Community participation is very high, and in many cases, has led to women experiencing a measure of independence for the first time. Insights from these interviews contribute to a larger discussion of changing cultural constructs, gender relations, and effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In the concluding section, we look at the implications of women's empowerment in terms of the effects on men, and identify parities in current research and study.
