The Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O’Sullivan
Understanding ‘embedded pharmaceuticalisation’
Sleeping medication use in later life is linked to adverse effects including falls, cognitive decline and dependency. Despite guidelines advocating reduced prescribing and sociological findings of ambivalence and unease among older adults, long-term use remains prevalent. This paper explores how and why sleeping medication use persists in later life, drawing on interviews and diaries with 38 UK adults (65+), whose average use spanned 17 years. Wh…
Devaluation and Revaluation as Dynamic Social Processes
Stigma is a form of social devaluation, eliciting shame, disgust and othering. Most theorisation of stigma has focused on devaluation and stigmatisation; this paper identifies and expands on the concept of ‘revaluation’, defined as the positive revision of previously derogated social objects as part of ongoing stigma trajectories. To do so, we draw on ‘stigma mutation’ theory, which highlights three dynamic dimensions of stigma change over time: …
It’s Pure Bliss’
While research on prescribed sleeping medications has largely focused on risks and regulation, this paper examines a less explored dimension: the pleasures of long-term use. Drawing on qualitative interviews and diaries with 38 UK users aged 65+, it examines not only pharmacological effects but also the emotional, sensory, and symbolic dimensions of use, showing how pharmaceutical effects are enacted through embodied routines, expectations and ev…
Towards a dynamic processual model of psychedelic microdosing
BACKGROUND: Existing research highlights an increase in psychedelic microdosing, particularly for therapeutic purposes and as a means for self-enhancement. However, we know little about the different routes into and out of microdosing, particularly by those who do not consume other illicit substances, and of the processes involved in the development, maintenance, and cessation of practices. METHODS: Drawing upon a trans-national interview-based s…
Covid-19 and Shame by Fred Cooper, Luna Dolezal and Arthur Rose
Absence, multiplicity and the boundaries of research? Reflections on online asynchronous focus groups
During the COVID 19 pandemic, Online Asynchronous Focus Groups (OAFG) through WhatsApp were conducted to explore women's experiences in the context of Congenital Syphilis prevention in Colombia. This paper discusses issues raised by the OAFGs (not least in relation to face-to-face focus groups). After a review of the literature on online and offline focus groups, there is a consideration of some key features of our OAFGs. In particular, we note h…
The unpredictable body, identity, and disclosure
The experiences of university students with chronic illnesses have been neglected in previous research, despite the fact that they make up the third largest disability category in the UK. The propensity of chronic illnesses to fluctuate unpredictably sets them apart from other forms of disability, yet little is known about how this inherent uncertainty impacts experiences in higher education, or the strategies students develop in order to simulta…
Stigma Mutation
In this article, I propose a novel theoretical framework for conceptualizing pandemic stigma using the metaphor of 'mutation'. This metaphor highlights that stigma is not a static or fixed state but is enacted through processes of continuity and change. The following three orienting concepts are identified: (a) lineage (i.e. origin narratives and initial manifestations are created in relation to existing stigmas, stereotypes, and outgroups), (b) …
Making sense of evidence
Many have argued that the development of evidence-based policing (EBP) depends on those in law enforcement agencies receiving appropriate training in research methodologies and data analysis. Despite this, there are few detailed accounts of such training and its delivery. This paper describes and evaluates the contribution of training workshops for police officers and staff in driving forward EBP. The workshops, developed based on a model used in…
Active ageing, emotional care and the threat of stigma
Amid fears about the medicalisation of old age, the high prevalence of sleeping medication use in older cohorts is a significant public health concern. Long-term use is associated with a plethora of negative effects, such as cognitive impairment and risk of addiction. However, little is known about the lived experience of older adults using sleeping medication longer term. Episodic interviews lasting approximately 90 minutes were conducted with 1…

Families dealing with the uncertainty of genetic disorders
Some scholars contend that genetic medicine is transforming the experience of illness and the social category of the family - bringing future risks into the present, and potentially strengthening familial biological bonds in light of these shared genetic risks. However, research has shown that genetic information is interpreted and acted upon through a rich repertoire of adaptable social, cultural and familial factors which pre-exist and interact…
Public viewpoints on new non-invasive prenatal genetic tests
Prenatal screening programmes have been critiqued for their routine implementation according to clinical rationale without public debate. A new approach, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), promises diagnosis of fetal genetic disorders from a sample of maternal blood without the miscarriage risk of current invasive prenatal tests (e.g. amniocentesis). Little research has investigated the attitudes of wider publics to NIPD. This study used Q-m…
Beyond the caveman
Statistically, men make less use of health-care services than women. This has been interpreted as the result of the 'hegemonic' masculine code in which 'real' men are understood to be physically fit, uninterested in their health and self-reliant. However, less attention has been paid to understanding how hegemonic masculinity intersects with the wider western socio-cultural contexts of men's help-seeking, particularly the valorization of health a…
Beyond beliefs
Social science research on lifestyle-related diseases typically focuses on patients' understandings and beliefs and takes the clinical risk for granted. We interviewed 30 healthy UK patients at high risk of heart disease, recruited from a family history trial at 2 weeks and 6 months after a discussion with a clinician about their risk, lifestyle and medications. The participants took four different paths: (i) pharmaceutical (most common, risk red…

Pollution, peril and poverty
This paper considers the symbolic, experiential and institutional basis of the stigmatization of British smokers, particularly in the context of the higher rates of smoking in lower socio‐economic status (SES) groups. Interviews based on a free association task were conducted with 40 smokers and non‐smokers from higher and lower SES groups. Thematic analysis identified several areas of stigmatization of British smokers by non‐smokers: identificat…
