  • Feeling ill, not harmed

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, John Brandt Brodersen et al.ARTICLEAnthropology and Medicine2026

    Scholarship has highlighted how the identification of breast cancer risk and false-positive screening results operate as modes of governance that shape subjects and extend the reach of medicine. Building upon this work, this article offers a phenomenologically-informed analysis of women's experiences of false-positive results in breast cancer screening, examining how such encounters with risk and the possibility of disease are lived and carried i…

  • Beyond the hashtag

    Open AccessBrooke Nickel, Mali Dunn et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2026

    Women increasingly rely on social media for health information, yet concerns persist about the accuracy, transparency, and commercial influence shaping this content. This content analysis of the Instagram posts using #womenshealth aimed to map women's health topics and interventions discussed and assess the presence of health claims, financial conflicts of interest, and reference to scientific evidence. Of 472 included posts, 297 (63%) were creat…

  • Psychosocial Impact of Breast Density Notification Through Breast Cancer Screening

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, Claire Hudson et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2026

    INTRODUCTION: Breast density notification is now implemented in the United States and parts of Australia and Canada despite limited understanding of how it impacts women and their psychosocial health. This study explored the psychosocial impact of receiving a notification of dense breasts through a population-based breast cancer screening programme. METHODS: We interviewed 19 Australian women who indicated being anxious in a survey. This survey w…

  • Selling masculinity – A qualitative analysis of gender representations in social media content about “low T”

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, Barbara Mintzes et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Testosterone has long been advertised through gendered messages that link masculinity with strength, sexual performance and vitality. In recent years, this marketing has moved onto social media, where platforms offer new ways to target audiences and shape ideas about men's health. This study examines how gender and masculinity are portrayed in social media content about testosterone testing and treatment on Instagram and TikTok. Using qualitative…

  • False premises, false promises

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, Ray Moynihan et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Most celebrities are not formally trained in evaluating medical evidence. Accordingly, their testimonials or endorsements may lack solid scientific backing, relying on ‘anecdotal evidence’, which can potentially convince consumers to seek unsafe or ineffective therapies. This is especially concerning when financial interests may inadvertently cloud judgement and generate personal endorsements of ineffective, or even harmful, medical interventions…

  • Downstream healthcare use following breast cancer screening

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, Volkert Siersma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2025References: 36

    BACKGROUND: For evaluation of breast cancer screening and informed prioritisation, it is important to examine the downstream healthcare use associated to participation. The objective of this study is to determine the healthcare use among breast cancer screening participants compared with screening-naïve controls. METHODS: The study is a register-based cohort study with 14 years of follow-up. We compare healthcare use among women who participated …

  • The expert eye - Navigating ambiguity in clinical breast radiology

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, John Brandt Brodersen et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025References: 27

    Drawing on phenomenological concepts of embodiment and the theory of clinical judgment, we examine how radiologists navigate the inherent risk of overtesting and overdiagnosis in breast cancer screening. Based on 12 weeks of fieldwork at a breast radiology department, we explore how radiologists navigate clinical ambiguity when women are recalled for further diagnostics following an abnormal screening mammogram. Radiologists expressed a strong se…

  • Women's experiences of age‐related discontinuation from mammography screening

    Open AccessEmma Grundtvig Gram, Sigrid Walther Knudsen et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2023

    INTRODUCTION: In Denmark, women are discontinued from mammography screening at age 69 due to decreased likelihood of benefits and increased likelihood of harm. The risk of harm increases with age and includes false positives, overdiagnosis and overtreatment. In a questionnaire survey, 24 women expressed unsolicited concerns about being discontinued from mammography screening due to age. This calls for further investigation of experiences related …
