The allure of microbiome research
Emerging biomedical fields are frequently communicated in promissory language—expressing hope, and sometimes even hype, about their potential to solve current unsolvable public health challenges and thus contribute to a better future. In this article, we explore the language used to depict gut microbiome research as a promissory field: what does this language “do,” and what might the potential implications be for creating what Lauren Berlant term…
The behavioral health needs of legally involved sexual minority female adolescents
BACKGROUND: Sexual minority (SM) female adolescents involved in the legal system experience marginalization and health inequities. This study examined the differences in psychosocial functioning and risk behaviors among legally involved SM and heterosexual female adolescents to better understand their behavioral health needs. We hypothesized that SM females, as individuals at the intersection of two marginalized groups, would demonstrate greater …
Missing Mess and Strange Agencies in Online Images of Mind-Microbiome Connections
This paper examines online images of the relationship between the human microbiome and mind. It asks how these images visualize connections between vastly different scales and kinds of being, and discusses what kinds of agency they perform. An archive of 274 images was built using Google® image search and a qualitative analysis of imaging strategies resulted in five groups of images characterized by their use of linking, zooming, texturing, absen…
One time my gut and psyche talked to each other
Instead of pursuing the dissolution of mind-body dualism, this article argues for examining when and to what purposes it is mobilised. The article explores notions of the 'gut', 'psyche' and 'self' as mobilised in descriptions of personal experiences, which were examined through collective memory-work with three groups of women. Rather than responding to direct questions about mind-body dualism, participants wrote memories from the prompt One tim…
Social, Structural, Behavioral, and Clinical Barriers Influencing Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Use Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in the South
A qualitative study evaluating Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among individuals living in Mississippi
Background: COVID-19 vaccination rates are lower in the Southern United States compared to other regions. This study investigated COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy in Mississippi (MS) to identify preferences that may boost MS vaccination strategies in areas with poor vaccine uptake. Methods: Qualitative interviews were completed between April 2021 and January 2022 with staff and patients at four Federally Qualified Health Centers in MS. Interviews i…
The Role of Family Factors in the Outcomes of Court-Involved Youth
Court-involved youth (CIY) comprise a significant portion of the U.S. population and have a high prevalence of psychiatric illness and substance use. Youth delinquency has also been associated with family variables and parenting practices. However, it is not known which family factors are most relevant to behavioral outcomes in CIY mandated to outpatient mental health treatment. Self-report measures from 163 CIY ( M = 15.19 years; 58.3% male) sta…
Development of an acceptance based PrEP intervention (ACTPrEP) to engage young black MSM in the South utilizing the Adaptome Model of intervention adaptation
A Comparison of Covid-19 Vaccine and PrEP Hesitancy Among Individuals Living in Mississippi
Coming Closer to Citizens? Frustrated Dialogue on the Danish Health Authority's Facebook Page During Covid-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic began, health authorities rushed to use social media to communicate information and persuade citizens to follow guidelines. Yet a desire to “come closer to citizens” often came into conflict with the very consequences of doing so—many social media interactions were characterized by complaint, resistance, trolling or misinformation. This paper presents a case study of the Danish Health Authority's (DHA) Facebook page, focu…
Mapping Implementation Science with Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (MIS-Eric)
Impact of Homophobia and Racism on Comfort Receiving Pre-exposure Prophylaxis at Various Locations Among Black MSM in Mississippi
Environmentality in biomedicine
Microbiome research shows that human health is foundationally intertwined with the ecology of microbial communities living on and in our bodies. This challenges the categorical separation of organisms from environments that has been central to biomedicine, and questions the boundaries between them. Biomedicine is left with an empirical problem: how to understand causal pathways between host health, microbiota and environment? We propose a concept…
The Impact of a Mobile Gaming Intervention to Increase Adherence to Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
Predictors of viral suppression among youth living with HIV in the southern United States
Youth living with HIV (YLH) in the United States (U.S.) face significant problems with achieving viral suppression, especially in the South. To examine this issue, YLH with a detectable viral load (N = 61) were recruited from the southern U.S and assessed over 16 weeks for health and treatment factors. Participants were part of a smartphone-based intervention trial. Analyses focused on predictors of viral suppression controlling for intervention …
HIV Testing Among Chinese Men Who Have Sex with Men
Measuring Antiretroviral Adherence Among Young People Living with HIV
Enhancing health among youth living with HIV using an iPhone game
BACKGROUND: Despite promising outcomes of antiretroviral therapy (ART), challenges to improving adherence among youth living with HIV (YLWH) exist. Mobile games are popular among youth and may improve skills related to resilience, coping, and ART adherence. This study examines the preliminary effects of an iPhone game/app on ART adherence, viral load, and relevant knowledge and attitudes among YLWH in Jackson, MS. METHODS: A RCT with 61 YLWH test…
Correlates of missed clinic visits among youth living with HIV
Youth living with HIV (YLH) have significant problems with attending their medical appointments. Poor attendance, consequently, predicts viral non-suppression and other negative health outcomes. To identity targets of intervention, this cross-sectional study examined correlates of past-year missed clinic visits among YLH (N = 2125) attending HIV clinics in the United States and Puerto Rico. Thirty-six percent of YLH missed two or more visits in t…

Displaying the Researched Body
In Heirloom, artist Gina Czarnecki and scientist John Hunt grow portraits of the artist’s daughters from the daughters’ own cells onto glass casts of their faces. This required the development of novel scientific techniques to allow the growth of human cells in a gallery. Heirloom was exhibited at Medical Museion as a part of the EU Creative Europe project Trust Me, I’m an Artist. Here, the authors discuss three key issues raised by the artwork a…
The house' as a framing device for public engagement in STEM museums
In the last five to ten years, several science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) museums have been experimenting with new forms of public engagement, aiming to be places for curiosity-driven investigation of the cultures of science via multiple perspectives, bringing artists, scientists, researchers, clinicians, members of the public and others together. Yet these diverse and rapidly evolving sites lack a clear definition of their fami…
From Housewife to High Tech
Neurobiological narratives
Many scientists, healthcare providers, policymakers and patients are awaiting in anticipation the application of biomedical technologies such as functional neuroimaging for the prediction, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. The potential efficacy of such applications is controversial, and functional neuroimaging is not yet routinely used in psychiatric clinics. However, commercial ventures and enthusiastic reporting indicate a pressing …
