Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research study using eight gender‐ and age‐specific focus group discussions and eight in‐de…
Using New Media to Build Social Capital for Health: A Qualitative Process Evaluation Study of Participation in the CityNet Project
The present article presents an exploratory qualitative process evaluation study of 'Ambassador' participation in CityNet, an innovative informationcommunication technology-based (ICT) project that aims to build aspects of social capital and improve access to information and services among disadvantaged groups in Nottingham, UK.

Body Projects and the Regulation of Normative Masculinity
Drawing on interviews with 140 young British males, this article explores the ways in which men talk about their own bodies and bodily practices, and those of other men. The specific focus of interest is a variety of body modification practices. We argue, however, that the significance of this analysis extends beyond the topic of body modification. In discussing the appearance of their bodies, the men we interviewed talked less about muscle and s…
Social Capital, Participation and the Perpetuation of Health Inequalities: Obstacles to African‐Caribbean Participation in ‘Partnerships’ to Improve Mental Health
Objectives. There has recently been much emphasis on the role of ‘partnerships’ between local community ‘stakeholders’ in strategies to redress health inequalities. This paper examines obstacles to participation in such partnerships by African‐Caribbean lay people in local initiatives to improve mental health in a town in southern England. We present a ‘social psychology of participation’ which we use to interpret our data. Our work seeks to illu…
Locating Research Informants in a Multi-ethnic Community: Ethnic Identities, Social Networks and Recruitment Methods
We conclude that local ethnic identities and social networks produce qualitatively different responses to recruitment attempts in different communities. Such differences necessitate the employment of a range of recruitment methodologies and detailed formative research in a target community before commencing recruitment
Social Capital, Local Community Participation and the Construction of Pakistani Identities in England: Implications for Health Inequalities Policies
Emphasis has been placed on the importance of the participation of socially excluded groups in local initiatives to reduce health inequalities in England, in `partnerships' with government. We examine potential obstacles to such participation through a case study of factors shaping local participation by residents of a deprived multi-ethnic area who describe themselves as Pakistani. We draw on three-hour interviews with 26 men and women, aged 15-…
African-Caribbean interactions with mental health services in the UK: Experiences and Expectations of Exclusion as (Re)productive of Health Inequalities
Ethnic identities, social capital and health inequalities: Factors shaping African-Caribbean participation in local community networks in the UK
Representations of ethnicity in people's accounts of local community participation in a multi‐ethnic community in England
In this paper we examine the impact of the social construction of ethnic identities on the likelihood of local community participation. We do so in the context of an applied interest in the current policy emphasis on partnerships between government and local communities in initiatives to reduce health inequalities, and a conceptual interest in the role of social representations in perpetuating unequal power hierarchies. Semi‐structured interviews…
