Shift, spark, unfolding
While pregnancy intentions are increasingly recognised as complex and dynamic, unexpected pregnancies are often studied cross-sectionally, and a life course perspective is lacking. This study aimed to explore the salient themes and patterns in 1) the life course trajectories of individuals experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and 2) the transition surrounding an unexpected pregnancy. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 22 ind…
The Heart of the Matter
In this editorial, we introduce our special collection that conceptualizes, analyses, and reflects on backstage processes in participatory research. Participatory research aspires to democratize the research process and contribute to empowerment, equality, and justice. Meanwhile, a growing body of literature attends to the struggles to achieve these promises. Drawing on Goffman’s metaphor of the backstage, this collection examines the backstage p…
Navigating Ambiguity and Uncertainty in End-of-Life Care Research Practice
Researchers frequently face conceptual, methodological, and ethical decisions - collectively known as researcher discretion - that can substantially influence research outcomes. Despite its importance, the nature of these discretionary moments and their triggers in everyday research practice remain underexplored. Based on an abductive thematic analysis of fieldnotes, documents, and interviews from twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork in two en…

Unique focus on historically situated interactions. • Examines subversion in weight related health promotion. • Identifies four commonplace expressions of subversion. • Highlights protests against the power of health institutes
Exploring syndemic vulnerability across generations
This qualitative case study uses a life-course approach to explore syndemic vulnerability in a former fishing village in the Netherlands. Building on four years of fieldwork in a low-income neighborhood, we explored salient themes between and across families and generations. Elderly community members (>65 years) were interviewed to map village history and explore how contextual factors have affected family life, health, and wellbeing since the 19…
The Evaluation of a Family-Engagement Approach to Increase Physical Activity, Healthy Nutrition, and Well-Being in Children and Their Parents
Prevention programs often are directed at either parents or children separately, thereby ignoring the intergenerational aspect of health and well-being. Engaging the family is likely to improve both the uptake and long-term impact of health behavior change. We integrated an intergenerational approach into a frequently used shared assessment tool for children's care needs. The current study's aim was 2-fold: to monitor this family-engagement tool'…
Psychological distress, cardiometabolic diseases and musculoskeletal pain
BACKGROUND: Disease clustering is a growing public health concern and is increasingly linked to adverse socioeconomic conditions. Few population-based studies have focussed on interaction between non-communicable diseases. In this cross-sectional study, we examine clustering of, and synergistic interactions between, frequently occurring non-communicable diseases in Katwijk, a former fishing village in the Netherlands. Additionally, our study iden…
Negotiating ADHD
Although a growing number of studies have demonstrated differences in responses to ADHD-like behaviours, very few studies have focused on theorizing diversity in the way ADHD is framed and approached globally. To contribute to the study of medicalization in a global context, this study examines the discursive field in which care professionals explain and treat ADHD among children in metropolitan India and addresses the need for an analytic framew…
