Abstract

Mexico's innovative health reforms have attracted scholarly attention beyond its own borders, making it a valuable case to study how countries set priorities. This dissertation examines the multifaceted topic of priority setting through a multidisciplinary approach: each of the three papers of this dissertation employs one of three disciplinary perspectives: historical, quantitative or normative. The dual focus on mental health and HIV--two highly stigmatized diseases with almost opposite histories of prioritization--further underscores the social and historical aspects of health priority setting.

Priority Setting for HIV and Mental… : DASH Story 2014-11-10
I am a paralegal for an immigration attorney. I prepare cases that deal with hardship families of undocumented migrants face in the absence of their undocumented migrant relative. In some cases, families have mental disorder and relocation to countries like Mexico would mean a drastically diminished standard of care. In order to prove that, I require scholarly articles and government information to demonstrate the standard of care in countries like Mexico. Digital access to papers like this one is invaluable to preparing a case.
