Diabetes Among the Pima
Carolyn Smith-Morris · 2006
על הספר
"For the past forty years, the Pima Indians living in the Gila River Indian Community have been among the most consistently studied diabetic populations in the world. But despite many medical advances, the epidemic is continuing and prevalence rates are increasing." "Diabetes among the Pima is the first in-depth ethnographic volume to delve into the entire spectrum of causes, perspectives, and conditions that underlie the occurrence of diabetes in this community. Drawing on the narratives of pregnant Pima women and nearly ten years' work in this community, this book reveals the Pimas' perceptions and understanding of type 2 and gestational diabetes, and their experience as they live in the midst of a health crisis."--BOOK JACKET.
