    The genesis of public health ethics.Ronald Bayer & Amy L. Fairchild - 2004 - Bioethics 18 (6):473–492.
    ABSTRACT As bioethics emerged in the 1960s and 1970s and began to have enormous impacts on the practice of medicine and research – fuelled, by broad socio‐political changes that gave rise to the struggle of women, African Americans, gay men and lesbians, and the antiauthoritarian impulse that characterised the New Left in democratic capitalist societies – little attention was given to the question of the ethics of public health. This was all the more striking since the core values and practices (...)

    Free to Consume? Anti-Paternalism and the Politics of New York City’s Soda Cap Saga.Alison Bateman-House, Ronald Bayer, James Colgrove, Amy L. Fairchild & Caitlin E. McMahon - 2018 - Public Health Ethics 11 (1).
    In 2012, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed capping the size of sugary beverages that could be sold in the city’s restaurants, sporting and entertainment facilities and food carts. After a lawsuit and multiple appeals, the proposal died in June 2014, deemed an unconstitutional overreach. In dissecting the saga of the proposed soda cap, we highlight both the political perils of certain anti-obesity efforts and, more broadly, the challenges to public health when issues of consumer choice and the threat (...)

    Dealing with Humpty Dumpty: Research, Practice, and the Ethics of Public Health Surveillance.Amy L. Fairchild - 2003 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 31 (4):615-623.
    Alice considered [the idea of un-birthday presents] a little. “I llke birthday presents best,” she said at last.“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” cried Humpty Dumpty. … “[There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents… And only one for birthday presents, you know. There’s a ‘glory’ for you!”“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’” Alice said.Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for (...)

  7. Privacy, democracy and the politics of disease surveillance.Amy L. Fairchild, Ronald Bayer & James Colgrove - 2008 - Public Health Ethics 1 (1):30-38.
    Fairchild, Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health Abstract Surveillance is a cornerstone of public health. It permits us to recognize disease outbreaks, to track the incidence and prevalence of threats to public health, and to monitor the effectiveness of our interventions. But surveillance also challenges our understandings of the significance and role of privacy in a liberal democracy. In this paper we trace the (...)

    The Limits of Privacy: Surveillance and the Control of Disease.Ronald Bayer & Amy Fairchild - 2002 - Health Care Analysis 10 (1):19-35.
    What justified the Center for Disease Control's1999 determination to require HIV casereporting? Why were names necessary? Why didopponents view the reporting of names with suchalarm? This paper retells the history of theencounters over HIV reporting that had occurredsince the mid 1980s. In placing HIV reportingwithin a larger context, however, we understandthe clash between privacy and public healthnecessity as a complex issue, both inhistorical and contemporary practice. Byunderscoring the similarities and differenceswith the histories of surveillance for otherinfectious diseases, vaccination, occupationaldiseases, cancer, (...)

  9. (1 other version)When Worlds Collide: Health Surveillance, Privacy, and Public Policy.Ronald Bayer & Amy Fairchild - 2010 - Social Research: An International Quarterly 77 (3):905-928.
    Surveillance serves as the eyes of public health. It has provided the foundation for planning, intervention, and disease prevention and has been critical for epidemiology research into patterns of morbidity and mortality for a wide variety of disease and conditions. Registries have been essential for tracking individuals and their conditions over time. Surveillance has also served to trigger the imposition of public health control measures, such as contact tracing, mandatory treatment, and quarantine. The threat of such intervention and long-term monitoring (...)

    The Myth of Exceptionalism: The History of Venereal Disease Reporting in the Twentieth Century.Amy L. Fairchild, James Colgrove & Ronald Bayer - 2003 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 31 (4):624-637.
    As therapeutic advances in the treatment of AIDS began to emerge in the late 1980s and public health began to have more to offer than just the threat, or the perceived threat, of quarantine or partner notification, fissures began to appear in the alliance against named HIV reporting that had emerged a few years earlier. In 1989, New York City’s Health Commissioner stated that the prospects of early clinical intervention warranted “a shift toward a disease-control approach to HIV infection along (...)

    The Rise and Fall of the Medical Gaze: The Political Economy of Immigrant Medical Inspection in Modern America.Amy L. Fairchild - 2006 - Science in Context 19 (3):337-356.
    ArgumentIn this paper I examine the mass medical inspections of immigrants to the United States from the 1890s through the 1920s. I show how, framed as it was not only by nativism and eugenics but also by national industrial imperatives and priorities, scientific medicine served dual purposes. On the one hand, the medical exam was a tool for managing cultural and biological threats to the nation. There were regional variations in medical inspections that reflected the politics of race. On the (...)
