What's in a Label? Ecstasy Sellers' Perceptions of Pill Brands
This article presents selected findings from a qualitative study of Ecstasy sellers and their sales practices, knowledge of distribution networks, buyer-seller relationships, and self-reported drug use. In-depth interviews were conducted with 80 men and women who had sold five or more hits of Ecstasy five or more times in the six months prior to the interview. Study participants described their perceptions of the various types of Ecstasy they had…
Complex Personhood as the Context for Intimate Partner Victimization: One American Indian Woman's Story
This qualitative case study explores one American Indian (AI) woman's experience of intimate partner violence and the subsequent murder of her abusive partner. The lens of complex personhood (Gordon, 1997) has been applied as a method for understanding "Annie's" multiple identities of AI woman, victim of intimate partner violence, mother, and convicted felon. The aim of the current case study was to uncover implicit and explicit meanings embedded…
Reproductive Decisions for Women With HIV: Motherhood's Role in Envisioning a Future
Cultural influences might exert more influence on HIV-positive women's reproductive choices than HIV-related conditions. In this article we report on grounded theory research on how women with HIV made reproductive decisions during a time of transition from HIV as potentially fatal to mothers and newborns to its current status as an often controllable chronic illness. Eighty HIV-positive women of childbearing age in three United States cities wer…
Maximising the highs and minimising the lows: Harm reduction guidance within ecstasy distribution networks
Tragic Beauties: Heroin Images and Heroin Users
We present selected findings from “An Ethnography of Young Heroin Users” concerning media and youth-subculture influences on the initiation and continuation of heroin use among young adults ages 18–25. One hundred and two male and female participants were administered depth interviews and structured questionnaires pertaining to heroin initiation and continuation practices. A number of participants mentioned media depictions of heroin and membersh…
Walking the Tightrope: Balancing Health and Drug Use
This article stems from a study on San Francisco drug users and their health care experiences. Two hundred thirty-eight study participants were administered depth interviews and questionnaires to reveal a variety of health concerns and health behaviors. For these analyses, which focused on health practices and risky behaviors, the sample was divided into two groups: marijuana users, and other drug users (including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin…
A Cultural Impact of Needle Exchange: The Role of Safer-Injection Mentors
We examine one way in which needle-exchange services in the San Francisco Bay Area have affected needle-sharing and sexual-risk behaviors for injection drug users. We interviewed, qualitatively and quantitatively, 244 participants. Our analysis focuses on comparisons in HIV/AIDS-risk behaviors for a subcategory of “new” injectors: those initiating after the introduction of needle-exchange services in 1988 (n=57). We found that some new injectors …
Fast Lives: Women Who Use Crack Cocaine
Providing insight into drug use from the point of view of female users, this book tells of the complex lives, challenges, and choices of women who use crack cocaine. While popular images of these women present them simply as unreliable individuals, unfit mothers, and women who will do almost anything for crack, Claire Sterk's years of ethnographic research reveal the nature and meaning of crack cocaine use in the larger context of their lives, in…
Pregnant Women on Drugs: Combating Stereotypes and Stigma
The rhetoric of reproduction: Pregnancy and drug use
Mothering on crack cocaine: A grounded theory analysis
Leading by Losing: Sex and Fertility on Crack Cocaine
Women who use crack cocaine have been characterized as promiscuous and careless about unintended pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. To evaluate the validity of these claims, we used the grounded theory approach to analyze transcripts from 100 interviews with women crack users, exploring their experiences and views on sexuality, fertility, contraception, and pregnancy-related decisions. Many women told of unforeseen events in the social w…
Cocaine Changes: The Experience of Using and Quitting
Women Who Use Cocaine Too Much: Smoking Crack vs. Snorting Cocaine
Monique (an African-American 19-year-old) and Becky (a white 21-year-old) were interviewed as part of a NIDA-funded study of women and cocaine. Although they were not necessarily typical, they do illustrate some of the differences among women who use cocaine. Despite the fact that they were close in age and both used cocaine, their scenarios and outcomes were very different, as one was a white middle-class woman and the other was an underclass wo…
Living with the Dirty Secret”: Problems of Disclosure for Methadone Maintenance Clients
This article focuses on the management of stigma by methadone maintenance patients. It explores (1) the consequences of this persistent stigma, which necessitates the need for secrecy, (2) the adaptations made in order to successfully "pass as normal," and (3) the contexts in which methadone-maintained individuals decide to disclose their stigmatized status. The data reported and analyzed were gathered between 1980 and 1989 during a series of stu…
