Young parents’ experiences and perceptions of ‘Teen Mom’ reality shows
MTV’s hit reality shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were produced with an agenda of preventing teen pregnancy. Researchers have examined their effectiveness as behavioral interventions, yet little attention has been paid to experiences of young parents themselves with these shows, nor to their ethical consequences, including the potential for compounding of stigma against young parents. This analysis qualitatively examines the experiences of you…
A narrative analysis of the birth stories of early-age mothers
The telling of birth stories (i.e. stories that describe women's experiences of giving birth) is a common and important social practice. Whereas most research on birth narratives reflects the stories of middle-class, 'adult' women, we examine how the birth stories told by early-age mothers interconnect with broader narratives regarding social stigma and childbearing at 'too early' an age. Drawing on narrative theory, we analyse in-depth interview…
Risk, resistance and the neoliberal agenda: Young people, health and well-being in the UK, Canada and Australia
In this article we describe how concepts of risk are both generated by and used to reinforce a neoliberal agenda in relation to the health and well-being of young people. We examine how risk may be used as a tool to advance ideals such as rational choice and individual responsibility, and how this can further disadvantage young people living within the contexts of structural disadvantage (such as geographic areas of long term unemployment; commun…
Women on men's sexual health and sexually transmitted infection testing: A Gender Relations Analysis
Sexual health and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing is typically portrayed as a women's issue amid men's estrangement from healthcare services. While the underreporting of men's STIs has been linked to masculinities, little is known about how women interpret and respond to heterosexual men's sexual health practices. The findings drawn from this qualitative study of 34 young women reveal how femininities can be complicit in sustaining, …
Ethical and Epistemological Insights: A Case Study of Participatory Action Research with Young People
Debates over how to determine age of consent for youth to participate in research feature prominently in the practice of researchers, research ethics boards (REBs), and community decision makers working with youth. In particular, tensions can arise over how the ethical principles of beneficence, autonomy, and justice are interpreted and applied in research involving young people. We discuss our experiences obtaining ethical approval to conduct a …
Ageing Out: When Policy and Social Orders Intrude on the “Disordered” Realities of Young Mothers
Despite a general decline, early-age motherhood continues to manifest disproportionately among young women living in rural/remote Canada. Although public health interventions exist to ameliorate the negative impacts, key determinants of young mothers' well-being exist in sectors outside of health. Moreover, there is no clear understanding of how social context interacts with policy to enhance/detract from interventions. We undertook an ethnograph…
Morally problematic: Young mothers' lives as parables about the dangers of sex
Drawing on data from an ethnographic study examining the experiences of early-age mothers living in a remote city in northern British Columbia, Canada, we examine the perspectives of two study participants – one young mother and one service provider – who proposed that young mothers should visit high school classrooms to provide experiential narratives about the potential dangers of sex, particularly for young women. While many participants sugge…
Identifying Barriers to Emergency Contraception Use Among Young Women from Various Sociocultural Groups in British Columbia, Canada
Women's ability to benefit from emergency contraception is hampered by lack of knowledge and conservative cultural or social mores. Serious contextual and structural shifts are required before woman-centered approaches to provision of the method become the norm
