CONCLUSION: LOOKING AHEAD
Medical anthropologists draw on methods from across the social and health sciences, but they are not only consumers; many are also at the leading edge of developing new methods relevant to interdisciplinary research on health and healing. Some of the most important advances in the last decade include:
participatory, collaborative, and action-oriented models of research (Schensul et al. 2015)
methods for rapid ethnographic research (Sangaramoorthy and Kroeger 2020), as well as for slowing it down (Pigg 2013)
a new measurement model that explicitly incorporates cultural meaning into survey measurement (Dressler et al. 2005; Dressler 2020)
new tools for analyzing the structure and composition of social networks (Borgatti et al. 2018)
new approaches to the study of inter- and intracultural variation in knowledge, beliefs, and practices (Dressler 2018; Dressler et al. 2015; Hruschka et al. 2008)
biocultural strategies for measuring stress-related outcomes (Brewis et al. 2022)
