Perceptions of Cholera in Haiti Sample Clauses

Perceptions of Cholera in Haiti. Cholera has been a stigmatizing disease since the end of imperialism when an epidemic in Bengal was equated with filth and barbarism (Xxxxxx, 2012). Most recently, Xxxxxx argues that the disease has served to reignite stigma against Haitians who have been historically blamed for the spread of many diseases in the Global South such as HIV/AIDS and Yellow Fever. Few studies, however, have looked at how cholera is perceived and whether it is a stigmatizing force within the Haitian community itself. The Red Cross published a paper on perceptions of cholera in Haiti after conducting psycho-social group discussions aimed at encouraging uptake of cholera prevention strategies in communities outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti (Grimaud & Xxxxxxxxx, 2011). They found that cholera is also a highly feared disease in the Haitian community. This fear, along with conflicting perceptions about the source and causes of cholera in Haiti has led to stigma, violence, and distrust of the government and foreign aid (Grimaud & Xxxxxxxxx, 2011).(Grimaud & Xxxxxxxxx, 2011) postulate that community perceptions regarding the political origin of cholera may be related to reports linking the start of the epidemic to UN peacekeepers from Nepal. (Grimaud & Xxxxxxxxx, 2011) warn that organizations involved in health messaging should not try to negate or deny misinformation as this may lead to further distrust of governmental or non-governmental aid organizations working in Haiti. Although more studies need to be conducted, it is highly likely that perceptions of cholera in Haiti are complex and have significant public health implications.
