Were Needles Everywhere
BACKGROUND: Community concerns surrounding syringe waste are a common barrier to syringe services program (SSP) implementation. In Kanawha County, West Virginia, community opposition to SSPs resulted in the closure of needs-based SSPs prior to and during an HIV outbreak among persons who inject drugs (PWID). This qualitative analysis examines views of PWID and community partners on syringe waste and disposal associated with needs-based SSPs. METH…
A Qualitative Analysis of Barriers to Accessing HIV Prevention Services During an HIV Outbreak among Persons who Inject Drugs in West Virginia
A ‘left behind’ habitus? understanding local political disengagement using Bourdieu
Bourdieu’s theory of social reproduction is applied to interpret the structural conditions and experiences of citizens in ‘left behind’ places (LBP) along the Cumbrian coastline (UK). The findings from a longitudinal participatory study imply a ‘left behind’ habitus where citizens disengage with local and national politics. This suggests that place-based initiatives aimed at reducing spatial inequalities, such as Levelling Up and the current devo…
Understanding the impact on children's citizenship of participating in community-based action research
This paper explores the lived experience of citizenship of working-class girls from a marginalised ex-mining town in northern England engaged as community researchers in participatory action research. The research aimed to better understand the relationships within their local community. Qualitative methods were used to examine the girls’ experience of the research and its impact on their sense of community, which is discussed using the lens of ‘…

You feel a bit lost’
Bourdieu argued that class-based inequalities influenced educational outcomes and this paper illustrates the relevance of Bourdieu's concepts in understanding one specific community. A wider study by the authors used the concept of habitus to identify factors which impacted on the participants-predominantly white working-class mothers'-perceptions of their engagement with schools. This paper provides two selected case study examples from the wide…
Very Young Child Survivors’ Perceptions of Their Father’s Suicide
Each year in the United States, 7000 to 30,000 children experience their parent’s suicide. Due to the stigma associated with suicide, feelings of guilt, and intense grief, surviving family members avoid talking about suicide. Over time, children struggle with confusion and intense emotions associated with their parent’s suicide. In this study, seven adults, who reported being younger than six years old at the time of their father’s suicide, parti…
They’d already made their minds up’
International scholars have argued that parental engagement in education is influenced by social class inequalities. Goffman’s definition of stigma has been applied to interpret working-class mothers’ experiences of stigma when attempting to engage in their children’s education. However, this paper also draws on recent extensions of ‘stigma’ – by considering how and by whom the concept is developed in practice. Selective case studies have been us…
Unequal childhoods
International authors have argued that social class inequalities can influence parental engagement in education. Lareau argued that middle‐class families possess the resources to actively cultivate their children to succeed academically, whereas working‐class and poor families feel they lack such resources and allow their children to develop limited and passive relations with school. This article applies a core element of Lareau’s typology of chi…

Survivors’ perceptions of support following a parent’s suicide
Children who experience a parent's suicide are vulnerable to an increased risk for mental health disorders and suicide attempts. In this study, 17 adults, each a child survivor of their parent's suicide, shared their perceptions of support following the suicide. Helpful experiences included opening communication about suicide and offering individualized support. Unhelpful experiences included judgment and blame, silence regarding suicide, and a h…
Chocolate, Politics and Peace-Building. An Ethnography of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, Colombia
S an Jos de Apartad, Antioquia declared itself a "neutral" peace community in 1997, during the Colombian armed conflict between guerrillas, paramilitaries, and security forces, raging in the Urab region. For more than 30 years, the Community has managed to survive as the longest enduring peace community in Colombia, gaining domestic and international recognition. Based on five years of fieldwork in the 2010s (first, as a Peace Brigades Internatio…

Health care-seeking behaviour of HIV-infected mothers and male partners in Nairobi, Kenya
Health care-seeking behaviours of HIV-infected mothers in sub-Saharan Africa are poorly characterised and typically focus on individual health conditions rather than overall health. We conducted a qualitative study to understand how HIV-infected mothers, their male partners and their HIV-exposed infants seek medical services. We performed 32 in-depth interviews (17 female, 15 male) and four focus group discussions among HIV-infected post-partum w…

Continuity, Stability, and Change in Daily Emotional Experience across Adolescence
This longitudinal study examined change in adolescents’ daily range of emotional states between early and late adolescence. A sample of 220 youth provided reports on their daily emotions at random times during two 1–week periods. At Time 1 they were in the fifth through eighth grades; 4 years later, at Time 2, they were in the ninth through twelfth grades. Results showed that average emotional states became less positive across early adolescence,…
Conclusions
The future of societies depends on their success in providing pathways whereby young people develop and prepare themselves to be contributing adults to their communities. When these pathways are well marked, stable, supported by the community, and inviting to adolescents, a society can be confident that new generations will join the ranks of adulthood well prepared. When these paths are hazardous, unpredictable, uninviting, or ill fitted to the d…
Changes in Adolescents' Interpersonal Experiences
Trends across nations suggest that adulthood in the future will require greater social versatility, including abilities to function in relationships that are less scripted by community norms and that bridge multiple social worlds. This article assesses whether current changes in adolescents' interpersonal experience are likely to give them the social resources and competencies they will need. Changes in families are making them smaller, more dive…
Factors for Success in Rural Tourism Development
Since the 1970s, economic restructuring and the farm crisis have reduced rural communities’ economic opportunities. These changes have limited rural communities’ economic development options, making older development strategies less viable and forcing many to look for nontraditional ways to sustain themselves. One of the most popular nontraditional rural development strategies has been tourism and its associated entrepreneurship opportunities bec…
Silent Partners
Women's contributions to the farm and farm household have historically been undervalued. An analysis of farm magazine 'success' stories through six decades indicates that these stories may be a vehicle for reproducing and transmitting a traditional domestic ideology that separates farm production from the rest of the farm household and that rarely portrays women as significant contributors to the economic well-being of either. Magazine stories de…
