Good sex/bad sex: The individualised focus of US HIV prevention policy in sub-Saharan Africa, 1995-2005
The expanding reliance on the health sciences to address social problems is well documented, as are the effects of the social construction of public (health) problems on 'target' populations, intervention design and broader social systems. Less attention has been given in the literature to the cultural meanings that configure public health efforts themselves. This study demonstrates how the cultural understandings of sex and sexuality that inform…
Love Matches: Heteronormativity, Modernity, and Aids Prevention in Malawi
This article identifies the dominant public narrative of AIDS in Malawi through an analysis of qualitative interview data and policy and intervention materials. The public narrative creates distinctions between 'risky' and 'healthy' sex that organize HIV prevention efforts around moral categories, rather than relative risk. These distinctions oppose images of backward, ignorant villagers to the protective power of 'love matches' (loving heterosex…
Dialogic Framing: The Framing/Counterframing of 'Partial-Birth' Abortion
Using the framing process of 'partial-birth' abortion (PBA) as an exemplifying case, this paper proposes a dialogic model of framing in which meaning is created and recreated through an iterative, discursive process. Materials developed by six social movement organizations that lead the PBA framing process were analyzed to chronicle the evolution of the PBA frame, as well as factors that influenced this evolution. Movement and countermovement act…

The model of "unintended" pregnancy has dominated reproductive health research and policy since the early 1970s. The concept reflects the prevailing highly rational model of behavior in public health and the assumption that the only acceptable points of preventing pregnancy are before or during intercourse. This model is simplistic, overly utilitarian, and does not reflect the experiences of the more than 1 million women who use emergency contrac…

Participants described the strategies they used for avoiding and dealing with unwanted sexual attention, as well as the effects the attention had on their health and sense of self. Grounded theory techniques were used to code the data and identify themes. The women …
