Outcomes from a procedural abortion training program for providers in underserved areas: Findings from a four-year evaluation
TITLE: Outcomes from a procedural abortion training program for providers in underserved areas: findings from a four-year evaluation. BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Clinical Abortion Training Centers (CATC) program was initiated in collaboration with the National Abortion Federation to address gaps in abortion training for a diverse array of clinicians, not limited to ob-gyn specialists. The program aimed to increase the number of clinicians providing …
Genomics and Biodiversity: Applications and Ethical Considerations for Climate‐Just Conservation
Genomics holds significant potential for conservationists, offering tools to monitor species risks, enhance conservation strategies, envision biodiverse futures, and advance climate justice. However, integrating genomics into conservation requires careful consideration of its impacts on biodiversity, the diversity of scientific researchers, and governance strategies for data usage. These factors must be balanced with the varied interests of affec…
The Effects of Religion and Modernization on Egyptian Women’s IPV Attitudes
This article uses the 2008 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey to explore the relationship between religion and women's attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV). It also asks whether modernization, as measured by having a higher education or living in an urban area, can mediate or moderate this relationship. Using latent class analysis to create categories of women's wife-beating attitudes, and multinomial regression to explore the relati…
I would want to pay her: Challenging altruistic egg exchanges in Canada through moral patchworks
Efficacy as safety: Dominant cultural assumptions and the assessment of contraceptive risk
Cultural health capital and the stratification of reproduction in Czech and Spanish egg donation markets
This article explores the ways that fertility clinics in the Czech Republic and Spain attract international fertility clients for fertility treatment involving egg donation. I draw upon a content analysis of 18 fertility clinics' advertising materials and 31 in-depth interviews with fertility professionals in the Czech Republic and Spain, and Canadian fertility travellers to show how clinics use cultural health capital (CHC) to persist as popular…
Constructing contentious and noncontentious facts: How gynecology textbooks create certainty around pharma-contraceptive safety
Using critical discourse analysis, we examine how seven popular gynecology textbooks use sociolinguistic devices to describe the health effects of pharma-contraception (intrauterine and hormonal methods). Though previous studies have noted that textbooks generally use neutral language, we find that gynecology textbooks differentially deployed linguistic devices, framing pharma-contraceptive benefits as certain and risks as doubtful. These discurs…
Demarcating the dirty work: Canadian Fertility professionals' use of boundary-work in contentious egg donation
Racing for Consent: A Feminist Relational Analysis of Informed Consent for Nondiagnostic Breast Cancer Research Biopsies
Traditional models of analysis of informed consent are often used to analyze ethical consent. However, these models ignore sociocultural factors that may affect the patients' willingness to consent. This paper uses the case of nondiagnostic tumor biopsies obtained for research to show how the culture surrounding a disease could influence the consent process. I examine how the mainstream breast cancer movement's rhetoric may affect breast cancer p…
