“If I wasn’t a pastor, I would be telling them about condoms, contraceptives and PrEP”—conflicts, dilemmas and credibility
BACKGROUND: Religious leaders (RLs) form an influential group in Eswatini. This study explores their understanding and acceptance of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), with a view to improve PrEP service delivery for those who would benefit from PrEP the most. METHODS: We conducted online and in-person in-depth interviews with (n=26) purposefully selected RLs (n=12 female and n=14 male) from Eswatini. Data were managed using NVivo V.12 and coded in…
“I Think, She Does Not Know This Any More”
We examined child agency in terms of prevailing theories of childhood (seeing children as “been”, “being”, or “becoming”) in the context of interviews about COVID-19 experiences. In our study we focused on conversations between the interlocutor (a child or a parent) and additional family members and used a discourse approach for analyzing and interpreting the interactions. In total, 9 families of diverse sociocultural backgrounds (13 parents and …
Transferable data exclusivity vouchers are not the solution to the antimicrobial drug development crisis
Access to pharmaceutical products worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic when key developers of active pharmaceutical ingredients and medicinal products prioritised their national markets. These challenges led to a stronger commitment by the European Union (EU) to become more autonomous in developing and providing access to pharmaceutical products for its population.1 In April 2023, the European Commission (EC) proposed a reform of the EU pharma r…
“The targets…are driving the agenda and that probably needs to change”
Overall, stakeholders perceived VAPN implementation to encounter barriers across all implementation levels (global to community). Future VAPN policies should be designed around the barriers and facilitators identified by SSA stakeholders to maximize the implementation of (ethical) HIV VAPN services and increase its impact in sub-Saharan African settings
Taking emic and etic to the family level
The consideration of parents' and children's emic and etic perspectives provided deeper insights into family members' experiences, navigation, and views of COVID-19 measures. Applying the emic/etic distinction to the family context enriches the sociology of childhood studies and enables a more nuanced understanding of diverging experiences within families and should thus be further explored within and beyond epidemics in order to guide future pan…
Empathy for children is often missing”
During pandemics, governments should prioritize addressing the societal and mental health needs of children by implementing participatory and family-oriented public health measures for schools and kindergartens. Clear communication coupled with consistent design and implementation of safety measures and regulations, would be crucial for building trust in the general population and for ensuring compliance regarding testing and vaccination. Communi…
Cultural Repertoires and Situated Selections as an Alternative Framework to Hegemonic Masculinities
Since the 1980s studies on men have frequently utilized Connell’s framework of hegemonic masculinities. We critically appraise this framework in the context of a population-based HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis study in Eswatini. Our findings highlight that men confidently show variation in their behavior and choices, which manifest across different men and within the same men acting in particular situations and over the life course. This led us to …
Parental migration and left-behind children in Georgia – school teachers’ experience and perception
Our findings suggest that LBCs and transnational families could benefit from the provision of psychological services at schools
Consent Requirements for Testing Health Policies
Individual informed consent is a central requirement for clinical research on human subjects, yet whether and how consent requirements should apply to health policy experiments (HPEs) remains unclear. HPEs test and evaluate public health policies prior to implementation. We interviewed 58 health experts in Tanzania, Bangladesh and Germany on informed consent requirements for HPEs. Health experts across all countries favored a strong evidence base…
“Thought provoking”, “interactive”, and “more like a peer talk”
Proponents of the newly-developed "deliberative interview" argue that examining complex issues requires more dynamic and engaging interview exchanges. Unlike traditional qualitative interviews, deliberative interviewing champions opinion sharing, active debates and similar speaking times by both sides throughout the interview. Drawing on 20 interviews with health experts in Germany, we examined the process and outcome of deliberative versus conve…
Deadly”, “fierce”, “shameful”
We propose the "life-course" as a useful concept for studies on masculinity, HIV and stigma. Considering gendered constructions of "respectable" midlife-older age vis-à-vis younger age, and how they influence stigma as well as uptake and adherence to ART might lead to more targeted services for men that build on "transformative masculinities
From Doxastic to Epistemic
Qualitative interview styles have been guided by precedent within academic disciplines. The nature of information sought, and the role of interviewer and interviewee are key determinants across styles, which range from doxastic (focused on understanding interviewees' experiences or behaviors) to epistemic (focused on co-constructing knowledge). In this article, we position common interview styles along a doxastic-epistemic continuum, and accordin…
