Abstract

Introduction: This article analyzes risk discourses around dengue, zika and chikungunya constructed by lay people, community leaders and disease control experts from the fields of medical anthropology, medical sociology, and public health.

Methods: A qualitative ethnographic study was conducted in a municipality in Colombia (December 2016 and January 2018) with semistructured and open-ended interviews, informal dialogues, and fieldwork journal observations.

Results: This study found a mismatch in risk discourse about vector-borne diseases among health officials, lay people, and community leaders. These discourses are linked to the sociocultural contexts in which people live, and offer particular ways of giving meaning and acting in the face of disease prevention.

Conclusion: The findings show a multisituated risk that refers to the inside and outside of homes; and the prevention practices mentioned by different actors, in which a continuity of tensions between lay people, leaders and government officials can be observed.

哥伦比亚一个地方性城市伊蚊传播疾病风险和预防措施的社会建设。

前言:本文分析了由医学人类学、医学社会学和公共卫生领域的外行、社区领袖和疾病控制专家围绕登革热、寨卡和基孔肯雅热构建的风险话语。方法:在哥伦比亚的一个城市(2016年12月和2018年1月)进行了一项定性民族志研究，采用半结构化和开放式访谈、非正式对话和实地调查期刊观察。结果:本研究发现在卫生官员、非专业人员和社区领导人之间关于媒介传播疾病的风险话语不匹配。这些话语与人们生活的社会文化背景有关，并提供了在面对疾病预防时赋予意义和采取行动的特殊方式。结论:研究结果表明存在多地点风险，包括室内和室外;以及不同行为者提到的预防措施，其中可以观察到外行人，领导人和政府官员之间持续的紧张关系。
