Mapping the benefits and harms of antenatal and newborn screening programmes
Health screening is undergoing seismic change that includes the potential forpersonalized medicine, big data, whole genome sequencing, artificial intelligence and the development of novel and experimental therapies. Acceptability research typically gathers cross-sectional data that identifies and characterizes the harms and benefits of screening programmes, as well as the ways they are experienced, weighed and valued by different groups. Efforts …
Attending to Gyn‐Ecology
Previous social science research on gendered experiences of thrush and vulvovaginal health has overlooked, or inadvertently sanitised, the materiality of having a body. Therefore, this study aims to return attention to the material, sensorial, and corporeal dimensions of living with recurrent thrush and use this to broaden our understandings of gendered embodiment. We present findings from a qualitative study of interviews with 32 people includin…
Crafting Tempo and Timeframes in Qualitative Longitudinal Research
Qualitative Longitudinal Research (QLR) is a dynamic and evolving methodology using time as a lens to inform study design, data collection and analysis. A key feature of QLR is the collection of data on more than one occasion, often described as waves or time points. Thus, researchers embarking on designing a new study need to consider several key features including the study duration (timeframe) and the frequency and intensity of data collection…
Absorbing it all
In a context of increasing international dialogue around the appropriate means and ends of newborn screening programmes, it is critical to explore the perspectives of those directly impacted by such screening. This meta-ethnography uses a systematic review process to identify qualitative studies that focus on parents' experiences of newborn screening published in English-language academic journals from 2000 to 2019 (n = 36). The included studies …
Disease, illness, affliction? Don't know
The popular characterisation of acne as a mundane and insignificant feature of adolescence sits at odds with academic studies showing the detrimental impacts of the condition on people of various ages. Drawing from in-depth qualitative interviews with 13- to 25-year olds living in England, this article will consider some of the tensions between two messages about acne through the ambiguities in young people's narratives. Consistent with existing …
Pregnancy Loss, Skin-Based Body Modifications and Agency
This article utilizes notions of ‘agency’ to explore the relationship between experiences of pregnancy loss and narratives about related skin-based body modifications. The term ‘pregnancy loss’ is used to denote a range of medical events with potentially far-reaching emotional and social consequences. The research from which the empirical content of this article is drawn seeks to bring together feminist interests and the discipline of human geogr…
Geographies of dying and death' in relation to pregnancy losses
The ‘geographies of dying and death’ denotes an area of academic inquiry interested in the spatialities of mortality and extending into themes of bereavement and loss. Such a lens has permitted exploration of various spaces and their interlinking economic, cultural and political contexts (Maddrell, A. & Sidaway, J. (2010) Introduction: Bringing a spatial lens to death, dying, mourning and remembrance. In A. Maddrell & J. Sidaway (eds.) Deathscape…
