  • Double reflexivity and social change: Towards a critical understanding of reflexive actions and discourses in sport for development and peace

    Open Access•Dino Numerato, Eva Soares Moura•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research in Sport and…•2026

    Sport has increasingly become an important site for social transformation. Driven by aspirations for social change through sport, global Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) initiatives serve as examples of reflexive modernisation. This paper provides an empirically informed theoretical elaboration of the reflexivity concept and critically interrogates the potential of SDP initiatives – seen as an expression of late modernity – to trigger social…

  • The continuity of care paradox in paediatric primary care: Understanding parental vaccine hesitancy

    Open Access•Zuzana Kotherová, Jaroslava Hasmanová Marhánková et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2026

    This article explores how continuity of care - understood as long-term relationships between parents and paediatric general practitioners (PGPs) shaped by healthcare system characteristics – affects parental vaccine hesitancy (VH). Qualitative data from the Czech Republic were collected through interviews with PGPs (N = 15), nurses (N = 4) and parents (N = 30) who had intentionally delayed or refused at least one mandatory childhood vaccination. …

  • Spatiotemporal framing of uncertainty in Czech Media vaccination debates before and during Covid-19

    Open Access•Dino Numerato, Eva Soares Moura•ARTICLE•Health An Interdisciplinary…•2026

    Uncertainty represents one of the principal aspects of public debates concerning health issues, and it has been particularly prominent in the context of epidemics and pandemics. The mass media play an important role in shaping public perceptions, decision-making, and behaviour. This study examines how mass media in Czechia constructed and navigated uncertainties before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on spatiotemporality. Through q…

  • Do Health Care Professionals Trust Parents? A Team Ethnography of Childhood Vaccine Hesitancy from Seven European Countries

    Open Access•Dino Numerato, Jaroslava Hasmanová Marhánková et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Health and Social…•2026

    Social-scientific scholarship on vaccination has often stressed the importance of trust. Vaccine hesitancy has commonly been viewed as determined by the degree of trust that parents have in expert knowledge, health care authorities, and health care professionals (HCPs). Focusing primarily on parents as trustors, the bilateral nature of trust and HCPs’ trust in parents have seldom been considered. This article systematically explores these commonl…

  • Medicalizing aesthetics or beautifying illness? Exploring the absence of diagnosis and the centrality of patient autonomy in dermatology

    Open Access•Dana Alsaialy, Dino Numerato•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2025

    The moment of diagnosis is often regarded as a cornerstone of clinical practice and patienthood. It has mainly been viewed as preceding, and hence profoundly shaping, patients’ constructions of health and illness. However, amidst a rise in patient autonomy, the significance of a diagnosis as the starting point for care and patient identity is diminishing. This shift is particularly evident in dermatology due to its visual nature, the prevalence o…

  • Notes on the Intersection Between Sociology and Public Health: A Reflection Triggered by the VAX-TRUST Project Final Round Table

    Open Access•Ana Patrícia Hilário, F R Augusto et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2025•References: 6

    This article aims to provide a reflection triggered by a ‘round table’ discussion at the VAX-TRUST project final conference regarding the interconnection between health sociology and public health. This interconnection is characterized by complexity, as it involves navigating the various ways in which sociological perspectives can inform and contribute to our understanding of health issues and the development of health interventions. Within these…

    Nonprofits are increasingly involved in cross‐sectoral collaborations with the public sector. However, we know little about the dynamics behind these collaborations and what happens to them in politically contested fields where actors may have divergent positions. In this article, a multi‐country comparison of data gathered from semi‐structured interviews (n = 68) with representatives of nonprofits involved in the labor market inclusion of newcom…

  • Leaky bodies, vaccination and three layers of memory: Bio-Immune, Social-Collective and Lived Experience

    Open Access•Tereza Divíšek, Dino Numerato•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 34

    This paper focuses on the omnipresent yet analytically almost invisible role of memory and bodily experiences in childhood vaccination. Previous scholarship on the sociocultural aspects of vaccination has primarily focused on the individual and sociodemographic factors underpinning vaccine hesitancy, the role of healthcare professionals and the politicisation or mediatisation of vaccination. Social practices considering vaccination were primarily…

  • Recruiting a Hard-to-Reach, Hidden and Vulnerable Population: The Methodological and Practical Pitfalls of Researching Vaccine-Hesitant Parents

    Open Access•Ana Patrícia Hilário, Alice Scavarda et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 62

    While recruitment is an essential aspect of any research project, its challenges are rarely acknowledged. We intend to address this gap by discussing the challenges to the participation of vaccine-hesitant parents defined here as a hard-to-reach, hidden and vulnerable population drawing on extensive empirical qualitative evidence from seven European countries. The difficulties in reaching vaccine-hesitant parents were very much related to issues …

  • Recruiting a Hard-to-Reach, Hidden and Vulnerable Population: The Methodological and Practical Pitfalls of Researching Vaccine-Hesitant Parents

    Open Access•Ana Patrícia Hilário, Alice Scavarda et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 62

    While recruitment is an essential aspect of any research project, its challenges are rarely acknowledged. We intend to address this gap by discussing the challenges to the participation of vaccine-hesitant parents defined here as a hard-to-reach, hidden and vulnerable population drawing on extensive empirical qualitative evidence from seven European countries. The difficulties in reaching vaccine-hesitant parents were very much related to issues …

  • Negotiating autonomy in the public sector and nonprofits “collaborations” in politically contested fields

    Open Access•Francesca Calo, Dino Numerato et al.•ARTICLE•Governance•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 61

    Nonprofits are increasingly involved in cross‐sectoral collaborations with the public sector. However, we know little about the dynamics behind these collaborations and what happens to them in politically contested fields where actors may have divergent positions. In this article, a multi‐country comparison of data gathered from semi‐structured interviews (n = 68) with representatives of nonprofits involved in the labor market inclusion of newcom…

  • Leaky bodies, vaccination and three layers of memory: Bio-Immune, Social-Collective and Lived Experience

    Open Access•Tereza Divíšek, Dino Numerato•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 34

    This paper focuses on the omnipresent yet analytically almost invisible role of memory and bodily experiences in childhood vaccination. Previous scholarship on the sociocultural aspects of vaccination has primarily focused on the individual and sociodemographic factors underpinning vaccine hesitancy, the role of healthcare professionals and the politicisation or mediatisation of vaccination. Social practices considering vaccination were primarily…

  • Medicalizing aesthetics or beautifying illness? Exploring the absence of diagnosis and the centrality of patient autonomy in dermatology

    Open Access•Dana Alsaialy, Dino Numerato•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2025

    The moment of diagnosis is often regarded as a cornerstone of clinical practice and patienthood. It has mainly been viewed as preceding, and hence profoundly shaping, patients’ constructions of health and illness. However, amidst a rise in patient autonomy, the significance of a diagnosis as the starting point for care and patient identity is diminishing. This shift is particularly evident in dermatology due to its visual nature, the prevalence o…

  • Notes on the Intersection Between Sociology and Public Health: A Reflection Triggered by the VAX-TRUST Project Final Round Table

    Open Access•Ana Patrícia Hilário, F R Augusto et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2025•References: 6

    This article aims to provide a reflection triggered by a ‘round table’ discussion at the VAX-TRUST project final conference regarding the interconnection between health sociology and public health. This interconnection is characterized by complexity, as it involves navigating the various ways in which sociological perspectives can inform and contribute to our understanding of health issues and the development of health interventions. Within these…

  • Double reflexivity and social change: Towards a critical understanding of reflexive actions and discourses in sport for development and peace

    Open Access•Dino Numerato, Eva Soares Moura•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research in Sport and…•2026

    Sport has increasingly become an important site for social transformation. Driven by aspirations for social change through sport, global Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) initiatives serve as examples of reflexive modernisation. This paper provides an empirically informed theoretical elaboration of the reflexivity concept and critically interrogates the potential of SDP initiatives – seen as an expression of late modernity – to trigger social…
