Data from structured interviews with 200 Katrina evacuees currently living in Houston we…
The wider social environment and changes in self-reported quality of life in the transition from late childhood to early adolescence
Background Neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage and social capital have been associated with adolescent well-being, but the majority of studies were cross-sectional, and the time window over which the neighbourhood may impact on development is unknown. Therefore, the contribution of the neighbourhood environment to adolescents' quality of life and the course of these effects during the period of transition from childhood to early adolescence …
On Cannabis, Chloral Hydrate, and Career Cycles of Psychotrophic Drugs in Medicine
This article compares the careers of two psychotropic drugs in Western psychiatry, with a focus on the nineteenth century: Cannabis indica and chloral hydrate. They were used by doctors for similar indications, such as mania, delirium tremens, and what we would now call drug dependence. The two show similar career paths consisting of three phases: initial enthusiasm and therapeutic optimism; subsequent negative appraisal; and finally, limited use…

Characteristics and Personal Social Networks of the on-the-Street, of-the-Street, Shelter and School Children in Eldoret, Kenya

Forty-six percent of the on-the-street children live with one parent, and 97 percent of the of-the-street children have lost contact with their parents. The on-the-street children have a higher percentage of family sector networks than the of-the-street children and the shelter or …

Where have all the Fieldnotes Gone? The Changing Nature and Politics of Drugs Ethnography in the Netherlands
A critical review of Dutch drugs ethnography over the past two decades addresses the importance of fieldnotes and the influence of the wider policy context on the research process.

This value was tied to the policy need to have first-hand knowledge of drug users themselves in order to for…
