近年来，对具有成本效益的健康影响证据的需求呈指数级增长，往往排除了其他学科和流行病学对健康的多元决定因素的长期兴趣。本文借鉴了安全孕产倡议的民族志，重点关注那些在提供历史案例研究证据时，异常地处于污名化认识论立场，同时仍然成功地赢得政策制定者尊重的专家，为了理论化这种认识的来源和影响多样性，我们借鉴了科学的人类学和社会学，特别是霍姆斯和马库斯对“准人种志”推理模式的分析。
In recent years,the demand for cost-effective evidence of health impact has grown exponentially, often to the exclusion of other disciplines and of epidemiology's longstanding interest in the multivariate determinants of health. Drawing on an ethnography of the Safe Motherhood Initiative, this paper focuses on experts who, in producing historical case-study evidence, exceptionally inhabit a stigmatising epistemological position while still successfully commanding the respect of policy makers,To theorise the sources and effects of this epistemic diversity, we draw on the anthropology and sociology of science, and specifically on Holmes and Marcus' analyses of 'para-ethnographic' modes of reasoning.
