From February to September of 2001, a significant body of qualitive data
was collected to investigate barriers for Hispanic participation in Oregon's
managed care Medicaid program. As a means to investigate this topic, comments
were solicited from physicians, hospital administrators, social service agencies, and
low-income Hispanics through semi-structured focus groups and individual
interviews. This methodology presents the reader with a rich enthnohistoric and
cultural context to the local issues surrounding Hispanic under-participation in
Oregon's managed care Medicaid program. Finally, through an analytical
framework of critical medical anthropology, connections are drawn from local
barriers to state and corporate policies. / Graduation date: 2002
