Providing Services to Youth Involved in Transactional Sex in Uganda
Service providers working with youth involved in transactional sex (TS) encounter complex challenges in navigating systems of oppression facing youth and in addressing their own biases. Based on qualitative, in-depth interviews with 23 service providers in Kampala, Uganda, this study explores providers’ perceptions of service provision with youth engaged in TS, particularly adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), and lesbian, gay, bisexual, tran…
Transactional sex, consumer society, and neoliberalism in Uganda
Transactional sex is a topic within HIV research that is relatively undertheorised and lacking consensus. In this study, it is understood as the implicit, non-marital, non-commercial exchange of sex for material goods or social status, and we examine the phenomenon among youth. Within the existing literature, the paradigms of sex-for-survival and sex-for-consumption emerge, representing differing senses of agency, particularly among young women. …
Assessing risk by analogy
Medical devices occupy an increasingly important place in global medical care, and yet the risk management systems that govern them are largely overlooked in academic literatures. In the US, home to the largest medical devices market, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation allows most medical devices to enter the market based on analogy, or substantial equivalence, with previously marketed devices. Thus, risk assessment is administered wit…
Preventing War and Promoting Peace

Vermont and Healthcare Reform Organizing
The human rights framework represents an important foundation of global activism for universalized healthcare. In the United States, in the state of Vermont, activists have recently centered on human rights claims in their efforts to pass successful, though tenuous, health reform legislation. This research, which examines single-payer and universal healthcare campaigns across the United States in the wake of the implementation of the Affordable C…
Enmeshed in controversy
Urinary incontinence is a hidden, private issue that affects over 40% of women. Its experience has been medicalised, mainly through urogynaecological surgery, more recently using implanted synthetic vaginal mesh. In this article, we analyse the power dynamics at play in the US Food and Drug Administration's public hearings on the regulation of mesh. We use grounded theory to analyse verbatim transcripts of two days' hearings in 2011 of a Food and…
Sociologists in Action
'Sociologists in Action' will provide vivid examples of how sociologists are using sociological tools to make a positive impact on our society. In each chapter, four or five public sociologists will describe, in vivid detail, how they have used sociology to understand and influence the world around them
The Role of Public Health in the Prevention of War
In 2009 the American Public Health Association approved the policy statement, “The Role of Public Health Practitioners, Academics, and Advocates in Relation to Armed Conflict and War.” Despite the known health effects of war, the development of competencies to prevent war has received little attention. Public health’s ethical principles of practice prioritize addressing the fundamental causes of disease and adverse health outcomes. A working grou…

At this moment, public health is at a crossroads of formalizing its education through graduate competencies and certifications. This research undertook in-depth interviews with public h…
