Anthropologists have become engaged with the evolving paradigm of public health research concerning structured social inequality and health disparities, or in the language of the physician-anthropologist Paul Farmer, "structures of violence." Moreover, applied anthropologists, as advocates of the impoverished, have entered the public discourse concerning governmental policies that impact the poor. This paper looks at how the policy of welfare reform has contributed to an increase in health disparities among poor women and their children, and how anthropologists understand and explain these phenomena.
