The influence of social constructs of hegemonic masculinity and sexual behaviour on acceptability of vaginal microbicides in Zambia
Vaginal microbicides are heralded as a woman's HIV prevention method. This study, conducted in a microbicide clinical trial setting in Zambia, explored how the social construction of masculinity and sexual behaviour influenced the acceptability of vaginal microbicides. The data were generated from 18 In-depth Interviews and 8 Focus Group Discussions. The data were analysed thematically. The study found that hegemonic masculinity influenced the us…

Irene had a gift for making people laugh, so at her funeral, at that breath-stopping moment when the coffin starts to glide away for the final time, we played Gracie Field's exuberant song ‘Wish me l
Health promoting prisons – An impossibility for women prisoners in Africa
The health needs of women in sub-Saharan African prisons are both neglected and poorly understood. Outside South Africa, little research exists on African prison health; what is available tends to be gender-blind and concerned with disease prevention rather than with health promotion. While Vetten (2008 Vetten L (2008) ‘The imprisonment of women in Africa’ in J Sarkin (Ed) (2008) Human Rights in African Prisons, Cape Town: Human Sciences Research…
Control and choice in English prisons
The 'health-promoting prison' has been informed by a broader settings-based philosophy to health promotion which conceptualizes health as the responsibility for all social settings. Though in its relative infancy, the notion of a health-promoting prison has gained political backing from international organizations like the World Health Organization, but the implementation of the policy rhetoric has not translated across all prison environments. T…
After Nairobi
The Nairobi Conference presaged a surge of interest in the development of health promotion in sub-Saharan Africa. A number of Africans have asserted that health promotion is underdeveloped in the continent, with the principles of the Ottawa Charter not widely adopted. This paper does not presume to say how health promotion could be developed in Africa, as that is for Africans to decide for themselves. Rather, it debates some issues which the inte…

transition from the prison to the community: implications for settings-based health promotion Abstract Through qualitative exploration with soon-to-be-released men in three prisons in England, this paper examines the difficulties that prisoners envisage on returning back to community settings; entering other settings such as workplaces; and the implications the transition may have for their health.Interviews and focus groups were conducted with t…
The significance of 'the visit' in an English category-B prison
A number of claims have been made regarding the importance of prisoners staying in touch with their family through prison visits, firstly from a humanitarian perspective of enabling family members to see each other, but also regarding the impact of maintaining family ties for successful rehabilitation, reintegration into society and reduced re-offending. This growing evidence base has resulted in increased support by the Prison Service for encour…

Precautionary tales
Incidence of breast cancer is rising globally, with little attention paid by government health planners to upstream causal factors. The research reported here used qualitative methods to explore the usefulness of creating opportunities for dialogue between various `communities of interest' - laypeople, health activists, environmentalists, scientists, health professionals and politicians - concerned about possible environmental factors in breast c…
Bridging differential understanding of environmental risk of breast cancer
The incidence of breast cancer in the UK continues to increase: the lifetime risk for women is now one in nine. The reasons for this are hotly disputed by scientists (toxicologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, epidemiologists), breast cancer activists, and environmentalists, with a range of theories about breast cancer causation. There is a significant degree of disagreement between these various stakeholders, and a lack of effective dialo…
Keeping Children Safe
The aim of this article is to present qualitative data from a study of mothers on a housing estate in Leeds, UK, enabling them to voice their concerns about child safety. The estate contains many environmental hazards, from traffic, 'drugusers', 'strangers' and litter. A high profile given to the vulnerability of children in public places has resulted in parents becoming ever vigilant and subjecting children to increased surveillance, in the face…

Bingo, the 1960 Betting and Gaming Act, the culture industry and … revolution
Bingo is played by five million people in Britain and is an important part of working-class life. This paper describes bingo as a product of the ‘culture industry’ as defined by Horkheimer and Adorno, and focuses not on the players, but on the politico-ideological framework within which bingo is provided
It's a great feeling when you win
Bingo players are derided in the popular press; the game of bingo is not seen as a ‘worthy’ leisure activity. This paper looks at the role of bingo in the leisure lives of working-class women and enables women to discuss their involvement
