“…Parents with the necessary financial means described testing their cannabis product for strength and contamination before beginning or when buying from a new supplier. This study highlighted that parents were often knowledgeable about CBD use and invested considerable time to inform themselves about CAM [ 65 , 66 ].…”

(1) Background: Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders in childhood. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is highly prevalent in patients with epilepsy. Despite CAM’s widespread and increasing popularity, its prevalence, forms, perceived benefits, and potential risks in pediatric epilepsy are rarely explored. (2) Methods: We performed a scoping review of the available literature on the use of CAM in pediatric epilepsy. (3) Results: Overall, global cross-sectional studies showed a variable degree of CAM usage among children with epilepsy, ranging from 13 to 44% in prevalence. Popular types of CAMs reported were supplements, cannabis products, aromatherapy, herbal remedies, dietary therapy, massage therapy, and prayer. Families often report that CAM is effective, although there are limited objective measures of this. Potential risks lie in the use of CAM, such as herbal remedies, and/or unregulated, contaminated, or unpurified products. Studies also underscored inadequate patient–physician discussions regarding CAM. (4) Conclusions: A better understanding of this topic would aid clinicians in guiding patients/families on the use of CAM. Further studies on the efficacy of the different types of CAM used, as well as potential side effects and drug interactions are needed.

“…Existing literature offers important insights considering vaccine skepticism among primarily white and middle-class US mothers to be an outgrowth of "neoliberal parenting" and "inten-sive mothering" in the context of late modernity and amid the realities of excessive choice, risk analysis, and consumer healthcare (Casiday, 2007;Reich, 2014Reich, , 2016Sobo 2015Sobo , 2016Sobo , 2021aSobo , 2021bSobo et al, 2016). My findings, based on 12 months of research with mothers in Oregon, revealed new insights about the origins of vaccine skepticism among this demographic: ongoing and repeated iatrogenesis from childhood through childbirth.…”

“…In pointing to medical error as pervasive and systematic, such studies reveal the frequency with which US medical encounters result in injury, illness, or death—what Illich, and the large body of scholarship his work has since inspired, theorized as iatrogenesis (see, for example, the special issue devoted to clinical iatrogenesis, Varley and Varma, 2021). In an enterprise where the male, white, heterosexual, and nondisabled body has long been the basis of “biomedical citizenship,” belonging with regard to medical access and legibility (Sobo, 2021b, 208), iatrogenic harm flows disproportionately to women and underrepresented minorities.…”

From iatrogenesis to vaccine skepticism: US mothers’ negative vaccine perceptions and non‐vaccination practices as reverberations of medical harm

Vaccine skepticism, and the related practices of selective-or non-vaccination, has steadily grown in the twenty-first century, especially among US mothers. The phenomenon has been especially pronounced in Oregon, which ranked first nationally for the number of kindergarteners with nonmedical exemptions in 2018. Based on 12 months of digital research in Oregon in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, my findings suggest that mothers' vaccine skepticism emerges from experiences of iatrogenesis from childhood through childbirth. While existing literature analyzes medical distrust among BIPOC communities as related to historical and ongoing iatrogenesis, scholars often portray vaccine skepticism among white US mothers as related to "neoliberal parenting" and "intensive mothering." By analyzing mothers' vaccine skepticism as an outgrowth of iatrogenesis, this article underscores the long-term ramifications of systematic medical harm against women in the US. This finding is particularly relevant amid public health crises, when mitigation depends upon vaccine utilization. [vaccines, medical distrust, US mothers, iatrogenesis, autonomy]
