  • Equivalence of care? A scoping review of prison healthcare experiences of women and non-binary people who use drugs

    Open Access•Pip Buckingham, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2026

    BACKGROUND: 'Equivalence of care' refers to the principle that imprisoned people should receive healthcare services that are equivalent in quality and accessibility to those available in the community, including drug related healthcare. We aimed to examine existing evidence about women and non-binary peoples' experiences of prison-based drug-related healthcare, how this relates to the equivalence of care principle, and how researchers have concep…

  • Working the Boundaries of Care

    Open Access•Nyssa Ferguson, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•Contemporary Drug Problems•2026

    Public health research reports “alarming” levels of “risky,” or even “hazardous,” alcohol consumption among the female-dominated and historically-feminized professions of nursing and midwifery. Accounts of these practices presuppose alcohol as inherently harmful and largely enact the drinking of nurses and midwives as a maladaptive response to “cope” with the demands of a high-stress occupation. Relaying a boundary of acceptable/unacceptable and …

  • Sexual literacy and parents’ confidence to discuss sex and relationships with children and adolescents in Australia

    Open Access•Jennifer Power, Thomas Norman et al.•ARTICLE•Sex Education•2026

    Parents play a fundamental role in educating their children, including younger children and teenagers, about sex and relationships. These conversations often involve complex and sensitive topics, which many parents find challenging due to limited knowledge, low confidence, or discomfort. This study investigated whether parents with higher sexual literacy – defined as the ability to seek and assess information to support sexual wellbeing and commu…

  • Everyday Intoxications

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia, Mats Ekendahl et al.•ARTICLE•Contemporary Drug Problems•2026•Referencias: 49

    Much sociological research on young people's drug consumption seeks to push past the narrow public health focus on risk and harm by centering pleasure as a key dynamic shaping the motivations and outcomes of these practices. This scholarship demonstrates the limits of a myopic focus on danger by examining, for example, meaningful forms of intimacy, social connection, and generative embodied pleasures that form alongside drug consumption. This oft…

  • Performing Hepatitis C, Problematising “Cure”

    Open Access•Sean Mulcahy, Kate Seear et al.•ARTICLE•Law & Literature•2025

    Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment for the blood-borne virus hepatitis C has shifted conceptions of the disease from a chronic infection – and, in some legal contexts, a “disability” – towards a non-permanent impairment capable of “cure”. The shift in treatment has also led to a shift in law. This paper explores the shift in Australian social security and migration judgments by drawing from performance studies research on disability and reco…

  • Queering vaping

    Open Access•R Grant, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2025

    Vaping is a dynamic, contested queer practice, reflecting LBQ women's negotiations of identity, community, and agency within restrictive policy environments. Policy and public health strategies must consider the queer socio-cultural meanings and community practices that shape vaping, to avoid reinforcing stigma and unintended harms to LGBTQ+ communities

  • Narcofeminist affects

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia, Kiran Pienaar et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2025•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 4

    While much sociological research suggests that gender dynamics can make alcohol and other drug consumption settings potentially unsafe, these practices can still be highly pleasurable and meaningful for young people. Analysis of influential understandings of young people’s alcohol and other drug consumption highlights how the notion of ‘harm’ is gendered, with men and masculinity rarely addressed, while women are constituted as uniquely vulnerabl…

  • Agency, sex and drug education

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia•ARTICLE•Health An Interdisciplinary…•2025•Referencias: 35

    This article examines how drug education professionals understand and respond to the relationship between alcohol and other drug consumption, sex and harm. While recent research examines how these issues are addressed in drug education curriculum, little is known about the perspectives of professionals involved in education design and delivery. Research suggests that agency is centrally important for understanding experiences of harmful, pleasura…

  • Stigmatising space-times

    Open Access•Gemma Nourse, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•Health An Interdisciplinary…•2025•Referencias: 25

    Stigma related to blood-borne viruses (BBVs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been shown to undermine the quality of healthcare. Given the pervasiveness and multiple manifestations of stigma within healthcare settings, recent research has argued that stigma should be addressed 'universally' i.e. for all stigmatising attributes and conditions, across all healthcare services. As part of the development of a universal approach to stigm…

  • Health-Related Stigma

    Open Access•Erica Lenton, Kate Seear et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2025•Referencias: 10

    Encounters with stigma in healthcare settings are well-documented. In recent years, significant attention has begun to be paid to how we can reduce these stigmas, including through the identification and reformation of structural forces that shape and sustain them. This article analyses 30 interviews conducted with clinical and nonclinical healthcare workers, as part of a larger project that aims to reduce health-related stigma for all. A major t…

  • Remaking the ‘angry Narcanned subject’

    Open Access•Nyssa Ferguson, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2024

    Naloxone is a medication used to reverse opioid overdose. Alongside its lifesaving effects, it also has a reputation for producing distress, aggression and occasionally violence upon administration. This article analyses how take-home naloxone (THN) training initiatives address naloxone's reputation for producing aggression and conflict, and how new subject positions emerge in the context of this training. While the role of naloxone in producing …

    With the advent of highly effective and tolerable direct-acting antiviral treatments for hepatitis C, widespread optimism for and investment in the project of disease elimination now informs the public health response. In Australia, the Commonwealth government has invested heavily in elimination by universally subsidising treatment, promising access for all. Reflecting concerns that commonly accompany ambitious public health projects, cost for go…

  • Troubling complaint

    Open Access•Erica Lenton, D Kagan et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 24

    The need to grapple with hepatitis C-related stigma and discrimination in Australian health-care settings has been recognised in public policy, and work is underway to address it. But how likely are people to raise a complaint when they experience stigma or discrimination? And how effective and accessible are complaints mechanisms? Given complaint procedures are considered important parts of the delivery of safe and ethical health care, these are…

  • Countering 'the moral science of biopolitics

    Open Access•David Moore, Fraser et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2024•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 4

    Although new hepatitis C treatments are a vast improvement on older, interferon-based regimens, there are those who have not taken up treatment, as well as those who have begun but not completed treatment. In this article, we analyse 50 interviews conducted for an Australian research project on treatment uptake. We draw on Berlant's (2007, Critical Inquiry, 33) work on 'slow death' to analyse so-called 'non-compliant' cases, that is, those who be…

  • Improving the effectiveness and inclusiveness of alcohol and other drug outreach models for young people

    Renae Fomiatti, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•Drugs Education Prevention and…•2023

    While outreach is a common modality for delivering alcohol and other drug support services, little is known about its role for young people experiencing difficulties associated with alcohol and other drug consumption. In this article, we conduct a review of international literature on youth alcohol and other drug outreach to identify features of high-quality outreach models and document major themes or issues. We found relatively little research …

  • Hepatitis C data justice

    Open Access•Kylie Valentine, Erica Lenton et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Public Health•2023

    The World Health Organization’s goal of achieving hepatitis C elimination by 2030 is inspiring the use of novel methods to find, diagnose and treat people living with the virus. Globally, rates of hepatitis C treatment uptake have declined. Data-driven public health approaches, including case finding, notification and contact tracing, are being developed and implemented to reach the elimination goal. Drawing on interviews with policymakers, lawye…

  • Under pressure

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2023

    Much contemporary youth drug education operates from the assumption that young people's decisions to use alcohol and other drugs often stem from a misunderstanding that youth consumption is so common as to constitute a 'social norm'. Known as the 'social norms' approach, the stated aim of this form of drug education is to empower young people to avoid consumption by constituting it as uncommon and, therefore, abnormal. Taking the relationship bet…

  • Optimism and eternal vigilance

    Open Access•Gemma Nourse, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2023

    The advent of direct-acting antiviral hepatitis C medications has reshaped experiences of hepatitis C treatment and cure. Positioned as a treatment revolution, the new medications mean a world without hepatitis C has become imaginable, and this optimism is reflected in Australia's commitment to the WHO's target of 'eliminating' the virus as a public health threat by 2030. Alongside optimism about new treatments, Australia's current National Hepat…

    D Kagan, Kate Seear et al.•ARTICLE•Medical Humanities•2023•Referencias: 9

    Since the advent of more effective, new-generation treatment for hepatitis C, immense resources have been devoted to delivering cure to as many people with the virus as possible. The scale-up of treatment aims to prevent liver disease, liver cancer and onward transmission of hepatitis C, but social research shows that people also approach treatment with its social promises in mind, including the hope that it might reduce or eradicate stigma from …

  • Post-crisis imaginaries in the time of direct-acting antiviral hepatitis C treatment

    Open Access•Renae Fomiatti, Adrian Farrugia et al.•ARTICLE•Time & Society•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 42

    Until the recent introduction of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications, the only available hepatitis C treatments were lengthy and onerous interferon-based therapies, with relatively weak success rates. While experiences of interferon-based treatment have been well documented, there is a need to better understand how the experiences of the 'old' treatments shape contemporary treatment experiences. This article uses the concept of 'post-crisis…

  • The trouble with normalisation

    Open Access•D Kagan, Kate Seear et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2023•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 42

    Modern health-care systems have customarily approached hepatitis C in ways that resemble the public health approach to HIV/AIDS known as 'HIV exceptionalism'. HIV exceptionalism describes the unusual emphasis on privacy, confidentiality and consent in approaches to HIV and was partly developed to address HIV/AIDS-related stigma. In the case of hepatitis C, exceptionalist approaches have included diagnosis and treatment by specialist physicians an…

    In recent years, highly tolerable and effective drugs have emerged promising a radical new 'post-hepatitis C' world. Optimism about medical cure potentially overlooks discrimination and stigma associated with hepatitis C and injecting drug use. Legal frameworks are especially relevant to hepatitis futures, since the law has the potential to reinforce or alleviate stigma and discrimination. This article explores how hepatitis C figures in Australi…

  • Basic care as exceptional care

    Adrian Farrugia, Kiran Pienaar et al.•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2021•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 33

    The discrimination faced by people understood to have alcohol or other drug addictions has been the subject of extensive research, with many studies documenting experiences of stigma within healthcare services. Building on this literature, we examine the role of stigma in shaping the healthcare expectations of people seen as affected by alcohol and other drug addictions. Our analysis draws on recent theorisations of stigma as a process of social …

  • Take-home naloxone and the politics of care

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia, Fraser et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2019•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 10

    Take-home naloxone' refers to a life-saving intervention in which a drug (naloxone) is made available to nonmedically trained people for administration to other people experiencing an opioid overdose. In Australia, it has not been taken up as widely as would be expected, given its life-saving potential. We consider the actions of take-home naloxone, focusing on how care relations shape its uses and effects. Mobilising Science and Technology Studi…

    This study explores the role of gender in the constitution youth alcohol and other drug consumption in Australian drug education curriculum. Drawn from an analysis of contemporary classroom drug education documents, it is argued that current drug education reproduces unethical and harmful accounts of femininity and masculinity. These enactments of gender primarily arise in three ways. First, drug education currently positions young women's consum…

  • Hepatitis C cure as a 'gathering

    Since the advent of direct-acting antiviral hepatitis C treatments, widespread enthusiasm about disease elimination has emerged. This article examines experiences of hepatitis C treatment and cure in this period. Mobilising Fraser and Seear's (Making disease, making citizens: The politics of hepatitis C, Ashgate, 2011) approach to hepatitis C as a 'gathering', we analyse cure not as a biomedical phenomenon but as a social and material event. To d…

    It is perhaps no surprise that young people can be sceptical of the drug-related information they receive in school-based health education, health promotion and the media. Significant societal anxiety surrounds young people's drug consumption, so it is tempting to approach this scepticism as a problem to be solved. In this article, we look closely at a group of young Australian men (n = 25), all of whom hold deeply sceptical views about the drug …

  • Conflict and communication

    Adrian Farrugia, Joanne Neale et al.•ARTICLE•Addiction Research & Theory•2019

    Opioid overdose is a growing issue in Australia. Programs to provide opioid consumers with ‘take-home’ naloxone to reverse overdose exist internationally and in some Australian cities, but uptake remains inconsistent. As an opioid antagonist, naloxone has the capacity to stimulate distressing withdrawal symptoms. These sensations are shaped by complex factors – including the quantity and intervals of naloxone administration – and can contribute t…

    Open Access•Adrian Farrugia, Fraser et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2019•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 10

    Take-home naloxone' refers to a life-saving intervention in which a drug (naloxone) is made available to nonmedically trained people for administration to other people experiencing an opioid overdose. In Australia, it has not been taken up as widely as would be expected, given its life-saving potential. We consider the actions of take-home naloxone, focusing on how care relations shape its uses and effects. Mobilising Science and Technology Studi…

    In this article, we investigate young people's trust in online sexual health resources. Analyzing interviews with 37 young people in Australia using Irwin and Michael's account of science-society relations and Warner's conceptualization of "publics," we explore the processes by which they assess the credibility of online sexual health information. We suggest that when seeking medical information, young people opt for traditionally authoritative o…

    The discrimination faced by people understood to have alcohol or other drug addictions has been the subject of extensive research, with many studies documenting experiences of stigma within healthcare services. Building on this literature, we examine the role of stigma in shaping the healthcare expectations of people seen as affected by alcohol and other drug addictions. Our analysis draws on recent theorisations of stigma as a process of social …

    In this article, we analyse interview data on how alcohol policy stakeholders in Australia, Canada and Sweden understand the relationship between men, masculinities, alcohol and violence. Using influential feminist scholarship on public policy and liberal political theory to analyse interviews with 42 alcohol policy stakeholders, we argue that while these stakeholders view men’s violence as a key issue for intervention, masculinities are backgrou…
