iPLEDGE and the Perpetually Potentially Pregnant Patient
Connections between science and care within public and global health research
Connections between science and care are common, such as when people access particular therapies through participating in research. However, interactions go far beyond medical treatment per se, with other kinds of advice and support (including direct financial support) also warranting consideration. Such complexities of the science-care relationship are often not fully accounted for by formal ethical and governance processes and approvals. This c…
Exclusionary data, inclusionary appeals
Despite the social and regulatory expectation that contemporary clinical trials for new pharmaceutical drugs will include a diverse set of research participants, achieving appropriate representation in clinical research remains tenuous. Of ongoing concern is how experts and regulators navigate decisions about drug approvals when presented with clinical studies that have limited demographic data. Drawing on regulatory discussions about Descovy, an…
Just Get on the Pill
Another Person's Peril
This article examines perceptions of health risk when some individuals within a shared space are in heightened danger but anyone, including unaffected others, can be a vector of risk. Using the case of peanut allergy and drawing on qualitative content analysis of the public comments submitted in response to an unsuccessful 2010 U.S. Department of Transportation proposal to prohibit peanuts on airplanes, we analyze contention over the boundaries o…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Zero Trimester
Increasingly, medical and public health recommendations urge all women of reproductive age to minimize health risks to future pregnancies even when pregnancy is not on the horizon. Such advice is predicated on the belief that good pre-pregnancy care will ensure better birth outcomes in the United States. This pre-pregnancy model of health care effectively designates a “zero trimester” in which women are expected, before conception, to anticipate …
Conceiving Masculinity
Epigenetic determinism in science and society
The epigenetic "revolution" in science cuts across many disciplines, and it is now one of the fastest growing research areas in biology. Increasingly, claims are made that epigenetics research represents a move away from the genetic determinism that has been prominent both in biological research and in understandings of the impact of biology on society. We discuss to what extent an epigenetic framework actually supports these claims. We show that…
Biology After the Sociobiology Debate
Cultivating the Maternal Future
On Valentine’s Day 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched a public health campaign aimed at getting young women to think about their reproductive futures. Slated to run through Mother’s Day of the same year, the “Show Your Love” campaign touted the importance of women’s health prior to pregnancy, known as “preconception health.” In this essay, I give a critical reading of this campaign, highlighting its feminized as well as…
Parsing the peanut panic
More and Less than Equal
In both social science and medicine, research on reproduction generally focuses on women. In this article, we examine how men's reproductive contributions are understood. We develop an analytic framework that brings together Cynthia Daniels' conceptualization of reproductive masculinity (2006) with a staged view of reproduction, where the stages include the period before conception, conception, gestation, and birth. Drawing on data from two medic…
