Childhood, families and the Internet: A qualitative approach on health assets
To explore the views of the Internet in childhood, identifying both health assets and risks. A qualitative study was performed using 14 focus groups, eight of which comprised boys and girls, four of which comprised parents and two of which were mixed (children and parents) in primary schools in urban and rural settings in Andalusia (Spain). Teachers in these schools were also asked to complete an online questionnaire using LimeSurvey. This study …
Men's health across the life course: A gender relational (critical) overview
The advances made in incorporating a gender approach into public health policies have stimulated growing interest in the social mechanisms of the study of men’s health. Therefore, a more experiential, gender-based analysis that allows for a better understanding of how ill-health processes and exposure to risk factors are related is required. In this paper, based on a rapid review, we focus on the daily circumstances, critical events and social pr…
Aquí (en Sídney) estamos perdidos”: Estudio etnográfico de la satisfacción vital de aborígenes urbanos australianos participantes en un programa sociocomunitario

The aim of the study was to explore life satisfaction by analyzing their living conditions and cultural capital inscribed in established attitudes, perceptions, and lay knowledge. Fieldwork was carried out in two complementary phases: phase 1, between May 2008 and D…
Advancing gender equ(al)ity, lifting men’s health: Dealing with the spirit of our time
In this paper, we jointly address two connected issues that should be addressed together more purposefully within both public health policies and programmes: the health and well-being of men and boys, and the focus on equity versus equality from a gender perspective. Awareness of these issues has boosted the debate on the impacts of gender inequality on health and men’s role within it. Although this essay is not intended as an in-depth review on …
Intensive alcohol consumption by adolescents in Southern Spain: The importance of friendship
Performing masculinity, influencing health: A qualitative mixed-methods study of young Spanish men
BACKGROUND: The literature shows how gender mandates contribute to differences in exposure and vulnerability to certain health risk factors. This paper presents the results of a study developed in the south of Spain, where research aimed at understanding men from a gender perspective is still limited. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to explore the lay perceptions and meanings ascribed to the idea of masculinity, identifying ways in which gend…
Gender Identity in Informal Care: Impact on Health in Spanish Caregivers
We examined the influence of gender identity on men's and women's perceptions of assuming the caregiver role to identify different coping strategies and the effects on caregiver health and quality of life. The study, performed in Andalusia, Spain, was based on a sociological analysis of the narratives produced during semistructured interviews with primary informal caregivers (16 men and 16 women) of different profiles. We observed a cultural assu…
Embedded gender and social changes underpinning inequalities in health: An ethnographic insight into a local Spanish context
Exhausted women, tough men: A qualitative study on gender differences in health, vulnerability and coping with illness in Spain
This study analyses different perceptions by women and men, from different social backgrounds and ages, regarding their health, vulnerability and coping with illness, and describes the main models provided by both sexes to explain determinants for gender inequalities in health. The qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with women and men resident in Granada (Spain). The women rated their health worse than men, associating it with feeling…
Girl Power: Risky Sexual Behaviour and Gender Identity amongst Young Spanish Recreational Drug Users
Against a background of significant social change experienced by Spanish women from the 1960s onwards, new gender identities and conflicts have emerged. These factors have barely been taken into account in the research work done in Spain. This article looks into the conversations of young people concerning their relationship with risky sexual behaviour, recreational drug use and sexual identity. Drawing from a qualitative study of discussion grou…
