The journal explores the implications of digital technologies in health care, including how these tools transform patient-provider relationships and care practices, particularly in a connected world. - Social Determinants of Health:
Research often focuses on the socio-economic and political factors that shape health outcomes, particularly for marginalized communities, linking issues of migration, race, and health. - Ethnographic Methodologies:

Trending and Emerging

There is a growing focus on how digital tools and technologies are reshaping health care delivery, patient engagement, and the overall health landscape, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. - Migration and Health Intersections:
Research is increasingly addressing the health implications of migration, exploring how migration affects health access, exploitation, and the integration of diverse health practices. - Community-Based Health Initiatives:
Emerging themes emphasize community involvement and participatory research approaches, particularly in response to public health challenges like pandemics, highlighting the role of local knowledge. - Ethnographies of Crisis:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Medical Practices and Ethnobotany:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focusing on traditional medicine and ethnobotanical studies, perhaps indicating a shift towards more contemporary health issues and technologies. - Historical Perspectives on Health:
Research that delves into historical analyses of health practices and systems has diminished, potentially overshadowed by urgent contemporary health crises and their anthropological implications. - Generalized Studies of Global Health:
Broad studies addressing global health without a specific cultural or contextual lens appear less frequently, suggesting a move towards more localized and specific inquiries. - Philosophical and Ethical Discussions:
There seems to be a reduction in papers that focus solely on philosophical or ethical considerations in health, possibly as empirical studies gain more traction in the field. - Environmental Health Narratives:
Although environmental health remains important, the specific narrative-driven studies related to environmental health crises have seen a decline, possibly due to the shift towards more data-driven analyses.
