    Open AccessFrancine Darroch, Francine E Darroch et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2025References: 37

    Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKi) are a major concern within military forces, significantly reducing productivity and military readiness.

Drawing on qualitative interviews, we inductively derived three themes (a) Traumatized and discredited, (b) Cascading marginality, estrangement, and suicidality, (c) Reconstruction and reclaiming resilien…

  • Drowning in the Social Determinants of Health

    Open AccessAudry R Giles, Lauren Brooks Cleator et al.ARTICLEaboriginal policy studies2014

This understanding of aquatic-related injury reflects the neoliberal tende…
