The birds and the trees
Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and successful approach to conservation. Here, we used a mixed methods approach, including 53 in‐person intervie…

Age differences in perceptions of gerotranscendence
The theory of gerotranscendence contends that as we age, a shift in meta-perspective from a materialistic and pragmatic view of the world to a cosmic and transcendent one occurs. The cosmic dimension of gerotranscendence is a central component of the theory and is manifested in various ways. The purpose of this study was to examine age differences in perceptions of cosmic gerotranscendence. Results indicated that older adults rated cosmic gerotra…

Linking Cervical Cancer to the Human Papillomavirus
Cervical cancer is an important cause of mortality for women in developing countries. Researchers have established a link between cervical cancer and the human papillomavirus (HPV). We explored Mexican women's beliefs about cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HPV, to better understand the social implications of this linkage. We conducted eight focus groups with middle-aged and young women in Mexico City. Cervical…

The many pressing medical, psychological, legal, and ethical problems associated with substance abuse by pregnant and parenting women present daunting challenges. One approach is to adopt a legal perspective where the rights of mothers, fetuses, and children are pitted against one another in courtrooms and state legislatures. Another approach is to embrace a public health perspective, characterized by treating pregnant and postpartum substance ab…
