“…La presencia de esta paradoja ha sido descrita también en estudios previos 11 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 . Sun et al 11 demostraron que existe un alto grado de variación en las actitudes respecto al financiamiento que deben ofrecer los fondos públicos al acceso a la atención médica para los no ciudadanos.…”

Objetivo Describir las distintas percepciones de los derechos de salud para la población migrante en Chile publicadas en Twitter a propósito del primer trasplante hepático realizado en el país a una mujer migrante haitiana en septiembre del año 2018. Método Estudio cualitativo, análisis de caso. El caso corresponde a la primera mujer migrante receptora de un trasplante hepático de urgencia en Chile. Se recogieron opiniones vertidas en Twitter respecto a este caso entre el 29 de septiembre y el 17 de noviembre de 2018 (n = 339). Se realizó un análisis temático utilizando el software NVivo12 con códigos delineados según el objetivo. Resultados Según las percepciones planteadas en Twitter, el derecho de acceso a servicios de salud de la población migrante en Chile debiera ser limitado, y otorgar prioridad a los nacionales. Estas opiniones conviven con visualizar a la salud como un derecho humano. Aparecen también sentimientos de racismo y discriminación hacia este grupo. Conclusiones En Chile conviven distintas percepciones de cuál debiera ser la concesión de derechos de acceso a servicios de salud de las personas inmigrantes. Esto puede generar no solo un recrudecimiento de la estigmatización y la vulnerabilidad que enfrenta este grupo, sino también una barrera para la implementación de la política, agudizando aún más la presencia de inequidades en salud.

“…In 2018 to 2019, we conducted ethnographic participant-observation and semistructured interviews with 170 residents of diverse backgrounds and ideologies in Greater Cleveland, Ohio, as part of a larger study of individual perspectives on “heath-related deservingness” (Willen, 2012; Willen & Cook 2016; cf. Viladrich, 2019, p. 1449). In most interviews ( n = 167), following a discussion about understandings of the term health equity , participants were shown the apple tree image in Figure 1 on a double-sided, laminated page.…”

Visualizing Health Equity: Qualitative Perspectives on the Value and Limits of Equity Images

2021

Background Health educators and advocacy groups often use side-by-side visual images to communicate about equity and to distinguish it from equality. Despite the near-ubiquity of these images, little is known about how they are understood by different audiences. Aims To assess the effectiveness of an image commonly used to communicate about health equity. Method In 167 interviews with health stakeholders in Greater Cleveland, Ohio, in 2018 to 2019, a commonly used health equity image was shown to participants, who were asked to interpret its meaning. Interviewees included 21 health professionals, 21 clinicians, 22 metro-wide decision makers, 24 community leaders, and 79 community members. Results About two thirds of our socioeconomically, racial/ethnically, educationally, and professionally diverse sample said the equity image helped clarify the distinction between “equality” and “equity.” Yet less than one third offered an interpretation consistent with the image’s goals of foregrounding not only injustice but also a need for systemic change. Patterns of misinterpretation were especially common among two groups: ideological conservatives and those of lower socioeconomic status. Conservatives were most likely to object to the image’s message. Conclusions Equity images are widely used by public health educators and advocates, yet they do not consistently communicate the message that achieving equity requires systemic change. In this moment of both public health crisis and urgent concern about systemic racism, new visual tools for communicating this crucial message are needed.

“…Contrary to his well-celebrated "Hispanic American" allies, which in Trump's speeches are typically addressed by their first names, such as Jorge or Maria; "illegals" are nameless, anonymous aliens whose only motivation to come to this country is to bring crime, drugs, disease, and unrest. As noted in the literature (Viladrich 2019), the conservative framing of immigrants is most successful when using general categories (e.g., immigrants, illegals, aliens) that avoid references to either personal or socio-demographic specificities.…”

“Divide, Divert, & Conquer” Deconstructing the Presidential Framing of White Supremacy in the COVID-19 Era

Based on the analysis of President Donald J. Trump’s social media, along with excerpts from his speeches and press releases, this study sheds light on the framing of white supremacy during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Our findings reveal that the triad of divide, divert, and conquer was crucial to Trump’s communications strategy. We argue that racist nativism—or racialized national threats to American security—is key to comprehending the external divisiveness in this strategy. When Trump bitterly cast China as the cause of America’s pandemic fallout and Mexico as the source of other key American problems (i.e., crime and low-paid jobs for U.S.-born Americans), he sowed clear racialized divisions between the United States (U.S.). and these two nations. We further argue that nativist racism—or the framing of descendants from those nations as incapable of ever being American—is key to comprehending the internal divisiveness in the former President’s pandemic rhetoric. Trump’s framing of China and Mexico as enemies of America further found its culprits in Asian and Latino Americans who were portrayed as COVID-19 carriers. Trump’s narrative was ultimately geared to diverting attention from his administration’s mishandling of COVID-19, the dismal structural conditions faced by detained and undocumented Latinos, and the anti-Asian bias faced by some of his Asian American constituents. In the conclusions, this article makes a call for countering white supremacy by developing comparative approaches that pay more attention to how different racisms play out for different groups.
