Synopsis
This is the first overarching history of public health surveillance in the United States spanning more than a century of conflict and controversy. The practice of reporting the names of those with disease to health authorities inevitably poses questions about the interplay between the public imperative to control threats to the public's health and legal and ethical concerns about privacy. Authors Amy L. Fairchild, Ronald Bayer, and James Colgrove situate the tension inherent in public health surveillance in a broad social and political context and show how the changing meaning and significance of privacy have marked the politics and practice of surveillance since the end of the nineteenth century. Searching Eyes: Privacy, the State, and Disease Surveillance in Americafocuses first on early use of surveillance to control infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis and syphilis--efforts that were strongly resisted by doctors because of the social stigma attached to both diseases--the perceived inability of public health to effectively intervene, and battles over professional terrain. The authors then examine the extension of surveillance to non-infectious conditions, exploring the histories of occupational disease, cancer, and the reporting of birth defects. In each of these instances, the potential subjects of surveillance demanded government monitoring to identify potential clusters of diseases, provide access to care, and evaluate treatment. The final chapters consider timely concerns about AIDS, childhood health surveillance, and the intersection of bioterrorism and the mandates of new federal privacy regulations., This is the first history of public health surveillance in the United States to span more than a century of conflict and controversy. The practice of reporting the names of those with disease to health authorities inevitably poses questions about the interplay between the imperative to control threats to the public's health and legal and ethical concerns about privacy.
