Exploring the Lived Experience of Black Americans and Substance Use Treatment
Despite decades of research on substance use, the unique experiences of Black Americans remain underexamined and often fragmented across subgroups and substance types. Existing studies have shed light on how racism shapes substance use patterns within certain populations, yet they leave critical gaps in understanding the broader landscape of risk, resilience, and treatment among Black communities. The purpose of this study was to fill that gap by…
Animals and multi‐species considerations of well‐being 500–1100
Much of the scholarship on early medieval English medicinal ingredients has focussed on herbal remedies and the role of plants in healing activities. This approach detracts from the significance of animals, their parts, and their products, and also obscures the fact that many healing activities are in fact multi‐species. In this paper, we combine ideas from object‐oriented methodologies commonly used in archaeology, such as chaîne opératoire and …
The Teacher Experiences of Racialized Microaggression (Term) Scale
Black teachers experience racialized microaggressions at varying levels in their professional settings. Existing measures of these microaggressions are not context specific. We developed items following a critical quantitative research inquiry approach. Item response theory (IRT) provided validation evidence for the Teacher Experiences of Racialized Microaggressions (TERM) scale. Black U.S. teachers ( n = 526) participated. Results revealed a 15-…
Non-Partner Sexual Violence Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Adults
The Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) population is rapidly growing in the United States. Despite sexual violence being a persistent and significant public health issue, research on this topic among AANHPIs is lacking. The study objective is to conduct a systematic scoping review on the published literature on non-partner sexual violence among AANHPIs to identify gaps and priorities to inform actionable research. The …
Two Listeria monocytogenes outbreaks in a cancer centre
When procuring on-site food premises, healthcare facilities and institutions serving individuals with immuno-compromising conditions should consider the potential health risk of foods available to their patient population
Exploring Racialized Factors to Understand Why Black Mathematics Teachers Consider Leaving the Profession
Research on the attrition of teachers of color suggests that, under certain organizational conditions, they leave teaching at higher rates than other teachers. Additionally, research has identified microaggressions experienced by Black teachers. Building on the literature, we explored how racism and microaggressions may help us understand Black mathematics teachers’ attrition. We designed and administered the Black Teachers of Mathematics Percept…
The Extent to Which Menstruation-Related Issues Are Included in Graduate-Level Public Health Curricula
Objectives: Menstruation is increasingly recognized as an issue in domestic and global public health. Public health graduates of U.S. schools of public health must have adequate competencies to address menstruation and its implications for health and wellbeing in their future endeavors in research, practice and policy. This study sought to understand the extent to which U.S. schools currently integrate menstruation-related content (menstrual heal…
The Spanish Pacific, 1521-1815
The Spanish Pacific designates the space Spain colonized or aspired to rule in Asia between 1521 -- with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan -- and 1815 -- the end of the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade route. It encompasses what we identify today as the Philippines and the Marianas, but also Spanish America, China, Japan, and other parts of Asia that in the Spanish imagination were extensions of its Latin American colonies. This reader provides a se…

Feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and safety of a randomized clinical trial for Asian Women’s Action for Resilience and Empowerment (Aware) intervention
To our knowledge, Asian Women's Action for Resilience and Empowerment (AWARE) is the first gender- and culture-specific and trauma-informed group psychotherapy intervention designed for Asian-American young women with histories of interpersonal violence and trauma and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) diagnosis. We employed a 2-arm randomized controlled trial. Sixty-three women who met clinical criteria for trauma were randomized to the in…
Mental health-related quality of life and the timing of motherhood
Behavioral Strategy in Perspective
Behavioral strategy has evolved as a field the last decades both intellectually and institutionally. This volume brings together scholars from several generations that have led and defined the behavioral approaches in strategy to reflect on the past, present,and future of behavioral strategy. Thus, rather than seeking empirical contributions that would fill in research gaps and expand research in specific domains, we endeavored to: a) represent t…
Everyone wants a vagina that looks less like a vagina
We present a thematic discourse analysis of 94 Australian women's written comments about women's presumed dissatisfaction with their genital appearance. Two themes emerged: 'from natural to normal' and 'the difficulty of resistance'. In the first theme, participants discuss genital dissatisfaction with reference to hegemonic constructions of femininity and to postfeminist, neoliberal discourses that position the natural female body as inadequate,…
Stagnant or Successful, Carefree or Anxious? Australian University Students' Goals and Beliefs About Adulthood and Their Current Well‐being
ObjectiveThis article questions an assumption that modern young adults are unwilling to grow up, do not wish to take on traditional adult roles, and experience their current lives as carefree. Goals and beliefs for adulthood, and current mental health, were assessed.MethodsA total of 518 Australian university students aged 18–25 (73% female, mean age 19 years, 72% Australian born) completed surveys of their goals for age 40, the goals they believ…
Trajectories of mental health over 16 years amongst young adult women
This article used data from 5,171 young women participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study, to identify longitudinal trajectory patterns of mental health across 6 surveys over 16 years of early adulthood, from age 18-23 to age 34-39. In addition, we identified both predictors and outcomes of these trajectories. Using group-based trajectory modeling, we identified 4 dis…
Representations of women on Australian breast cancer websites
Despite 'cultural competence' rhetoric within health care, women's varied breast cancer experiences are often overlooked within the 'pink ribbon culture' of breast cancer, which focuses on white, heterosexual, middle-class women's accounts. We present a multimodal critical discourse analysis of four Australian breast cancer organisations' websites, which provide information and support to women. We examine how they represent the needs and experie…
Lifestyle Preference Theory
Women's work and family choices are affected by social pressures and external constraints. Understanding young women's aspirations for future work and family is important for understanding their future needs and for developing supportive work-family practices and policies. Despite criticism, Lifestyle Preference Theory has been argued to explain women's life choices, and historically has been used to inform Australian policy. We address three iss…
‘Take ownership of your condition’
Western understandings of breast cancer are primarily shaped both by neo-liberal, individual-oriented approaches to health and illness and by ‘consumer-led’ health movements. In this ‘healthist’ context, diagnosis of breast cancer typically marks a crisis in women’s lives, which may prompt them to account for the development of the illness and reposition themselves as self-governing individuals who have control over their health and who can manag…
Longitudinal trajectory patterns of social support
Reading Between the Lines
The Internet offers rich opportunities for examining the construction of health and illness through multiple visual and textual modes. Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) is a method that provides researchers with the tools to critically examine online constructions of health and illness. We discuss our use of MCDA to analyse four Australian breast cancer websites. We examine how breast cancer is constructed through the online presentat…
How Do Australian University Students Understand Adulthood
The understanding of modern young people's conceptions of adulthood has largely been informed and constructed through the lens of the theory of emerging adulthood. As a consequence, a relatively unquestioned belief is that there has been a trend towards the gradual development of internal, subjective characteristics and away from the attainment of traditional adult roles in emerging adults' conceptions of adulthood. Using both quantitative and qu…
A longitudinal study of midage women with indicators of disordered eating
This longitudinal study of midage women has two main aims: to examine the effect of disordered eating (DE) on quality of life (QoL) among women, including a comparison with a younger cohort and to investigate the mediating roles of both depressive symptoms and social support on the longitudinal relationship between DE and QoL as potential mechanisms of action. We used self-report data from six waves of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's…
A focus group study of enteric disease case investigation
To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the perspectives of expert enteric disease case investigators on successful interview techniques and barriers experienced during enteric case investigation. A number of recommendations could improve the process of enteric case investigation in the Ontario context which include formal training and development of resource materials pertaining to interviewing, standardized interviewing tools, stra…
Longitudinal analysis of relationships between social support and general health in an Australian population cohort of young women
Choosing to have children or choosing to be childfree
Research has demonstrated that voluntarily childless heterosexual women, and lesbian women choosing to become mothers, are negatively stereotyped. However, there is little recent Australian research, and attitudes may have changed in line with changing family formation patterns. This study assessed young Australians' attitudes towards either a lesbian or a heterosexual woman who was planning, or not planning, to have children. One hundred and nin…
Issues for a Psychology of Men's Health
This article argues for a gendered psychology of men's health. We argue that capitalism and patriarchy, through their reliance on a restrictive definition of masculinity, limit men's choices and impact on their health. A psychology of men's health situates men in their social, cultural and political contexts, addressing the social construction of masculinities and the effects of beliefs about appropriate behaviour on men's health. At the individu…
Never-married childless women in Australia
If you grow them, know them ’
The ‘pink ribbon culture’ dominates understandings of breast cancer in Western societies. We describe this as an ‘illness culture’, consisting of neoliberal discourses and practices, which construct the breast cancer experience. We take a feminist post-structuralist approach to review current breast cancer lay materials available to women in Australia, to examine how breast cancer is discursively constructed within this context. Further, we consi…

Have Magic, Will Travel
This article examines the expanding global tourist trade for fictional places derived from popular narratives that are recreated for the tourist’s pleasure. Through a case study of a Harry Potter tour in the United Kingdom, I explore how the design of fantasy-themed ventures encourage a re-imagining of the landscape where (f)actual and imaginary geographies exist side by side. The locations function as affective, liminal spaces where the tourist …
Young Australian Women's Aspirations for Work, Marriage and Family
Multiple roles remain a reality for women. While there is debate over whether this arises from personal aspirations or social arrangements, it is clear that it results in stress and reductions in emotional well-being. We asked 13 female Australian university students about their aspirations for age 35, with reference to relationships, motherhood and work, and conducted a thematic analysis. Most aspired to traditional roles as wives, mothers and p…
Selling genital cosmetic surgery to healthy women
The multimodal nature of web pages enables them to interweave text, images, colour and other graphical material to create discursive contexts which may be difficult to identify or challenge. Multimodal discourse analysis provides a tool for deconstructing such websites. This paper examines websites that promote the growing practice of female genital cosmetic surgery, in particular labial reduction or labiaplasty. We examine the ways in which four…
Motherhood Plans among Young Australian Women
Fertility rates in the developed world have been below replacement level for 25 years, and it is often assumed that this results from deliberate, unconstrained individual choice. Data from 7448 childless women aged 22 to 27, participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, indicate that 9 per cent aspire to childlessness, with 72 per cent wanting 1 or 2 children and 19 per cent more. Differences in psychological functioning d…
Health, Stress and Coping among Women Caregivers
Informal family-based care of dependent adults places a significant burden on caregivers. The impact of caregiving on subjective wellbeing, preventive behaviours, lifestyle and employment is well documented, and there is good evidence for increases in risk factors for serious illness, although evidence on actual incidence of major illness varies between studies. The individual-based focus of much research on this topic has tended to obscure the s…
Life transitions and mental health in a national cohort of young Australian women
Young adulthood, a time of major life transitions and risk of poor mental health, may affect emotional well-being throughout adult life. This article uses longitudinal survey data to examine young Australian women's transitions across 4 domains: residential independence, relationships, work and study, and motherhood. Changes over 3 years in health-related quality of life, optimism, depressive symptoms, stress, and life satisfaction, were examined…

On his terms
Research on sexual content in women's magazines has identified dominant ideologies that promote sexual role stereotypes and privilege masculinity. We extend this analysis in a thematic analysis to examine representations of sex in two best selling Australian women's magazines and to examine how such ideologies may reduce women's abilities to negotiate safe sex. One main theme – hetero monogamy – and six subsidiary themes emerged. Being in a monog…
Influences of Marriage, Motherhood, and Other Life Events on Australian Women’s Employment Aspirations
The study contributes to the understandings of how women negotiate work and family over the life course by investigating what factors impact young women’s aspirations for full time, part-time, and other forms of work. Using data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) with its nationally representative sample of Australian women, the authors examine how women moving from their 20s to early 30s change their aspirations for…
Experiences of Family Caregiving among Middle-Aged Australian Women
Family caregiving is an unpaid activity that falls inequitably on women. As one component of the Women's Health Australia survey, this article uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the impact of family caregiving among middle-aged women. Of 13,888 women, 1775 responded to specific items about caregiving and 185 made openended comments about their experiences. Quantitative analyses showed that caregivers experienced more financial d…
Sooner or later? Young Australian men's perspectives on timing of parenthood
Postponed parenthood has been identified as a significant driver of the trends towards smaller families and underachieved fertility aspirations. Understanding men's preferred timing and circumstances for fatherhood is needed to complement existing research among young women and increase understanding of postponed parenthood. We collected quantitative and qualitative data on attitudes regarding the timing of parenthood from 382 young Australian me…
Optimism, Health-related Hardiness and Well-Being among Older Australian Women
This article examines whether optimism and health-related hardiness contribute to health and well-being among older women. Positive psychological characteristics, including optimism and health-related hardiness, are correlated with good self-rated health, but these variables are all affected by socioeconomic status, social support, physical illness and access to services. Using data from 9501 Australian women aged 73 to 78, we show that optimism …
Experiences of Family Caregiving among Older Australian Women
This article uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the effects of family caregiving on physical and emotional wellbeing, finances and leisure among a cohort of Australian women aged 70 to 75 years. A total of 11,939 women was examined. Of these, 10 percent ( n = 1235) identified themselves as caregivers for frail, ill or disabled family members and 168 made open-ended comments about their caregiving experiences. Unlike other survey…

Australian women talk about non-romantic sex
Non-romantic sex is widespread and occurs in a wide variety of forms. We analyse semi-structured interviews in which 15 Australian women describe a range of non-romantic sexual arrangements and consider their implications for women’s ability to negotiate sexual safety. We identify four overlapping categories of non-romantic sex: one night stands, ‘the lines are blurred’, ongoing non-romantic arrangements and alternative non-romantic sex. The bene…

Going Nowhere? The Politics of Remembering (and Forgetting) Molly Ringwald
This article focuses on the actor Molly Ringwald, forever famous for her roles in a series of 1980s teen films directed by John Hughes, to explore notions of generational remembering and forgetting
Exercise persistence
Aerobic exercise (regular, vigorous, physical activity) has a range of established and putative health, psychological, and social benefits. Exercise at lower levels of intensity and frequency may also be beneficial. However, research evidence indicates that exercise patterns are poorly maintained. This paper considers stages of behaviour change relevant to exercise, evidence concerning the factors which influence exercise adoption and maintenance…
Towards more rigorous evaluation of health promotion programmes
Psychological theory and research have much to contribute in strengthening the development and evaluation of health promotion programmes. It is argued that programmes, large-scale campaigns and public policy should be anchored more firmly in basic research, but that there are inevitable incompatibilities between maximal validity and ideal generality of behavioural research in health promotion. However, compromises may be sought which attempt to m…
Current status of sport psychology
This paper considers a range of possible goals for psychological intervention in sport psychology, identifies the sporting settings in which psychologists are likely to work, and examines the types of interventions which may be developed from a behavioural perspective. Operant and cognitive-behavioural frameworks provide a number of strategies for enhancing sporting performance, some of which are described and illustrated. There is a need for car…

Current issues in Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is a subject of increasing interest to health professionals and lay people alike. It can be characterised generally as a pattern of behaviour involving episodes of binge eating alternating with self-induced vomiting or laxative abuse. This paper reviews current literature, considering its physical effects, its prevalence, and problems in its definition, diagnosis, and measurement. Models of its causation and current treatment stra…
Cognitive behaviour therapy re-examined
Over recent years the cognitive behavioural approach to therapy has become important in the management and treatment of emotional dysfunction. However, the therapeutic efficacy of cognitive behaviour therapy and the validity of its underlying assumptions have been called into question by recent research. The wide disparity between the theoretical base of cognitive behaviour therapy practitioners on the one hand, and their clinical strategies on t…
Cognitive theory and therapy
Modern cognitive-behavioural theories and therapies are based on the assumption that cognition is central to human behaviour. They assume that the assessment of cognitive variables through self-report is the appropriate way to understand human activity, and that a focus on altering these cognitive variables will form the basis of effective therapeutic techniques. This paper argues that cognitively oriented theories are empirically only moderately…
Health care, psychology, and a healthy society
James (1994) discusses the intersection of psychology and health. He reviews the role of behaviour in morbidity and premature mortality, the rising costs and dubious benefits of curative medicine, the role of behaviour in preventing and alleviating chronic disease, and the importance of behavioural outcomes in health and disease. While James makes a good case for these points, his conclusion, that psychologists' response to these major health-car…
Self-esteem and sex roles among male and female high school students
It has been suggested that participation in sport and exercise can increase self-esteem. However, it is also argued that sport is primarily a masculine activity, and females who are involved in sport may experience some role conflict. This cross-sectional study examined Australian adolescents of both sexes, and compared those who reported exercising at least three times per week with those who did not. The male and female high-active respondents,…
Effectiveness of a bilingual heart health program for Greek-Australian women
Women from Southern European countries have the highest body mass index and physical inactivity levels of any of Australia's migrant groups. Health promotion programs aimed at the wider community often fail to reach these women because of language and cultural barriers. The project examined the impact of a 12-week minimal-intervention heart health program on a community sample of Greek-Australian women. The program, conducted in a bilingual, inte…

A Cross-sectional Survey of Menopausal Status, Symptoms and Psychological Distress in a Community Sample of Australian Women
While many researchers assume the menopause to be an endocrine deficiency disease, others argue that menopause is normally non-traumatic, associated with few and minor symptoms. An Australian sample of 304 female volunteers (128 pre-menopausal, 35 peri-menopausal, 80 post- menopausal and not taking hormone replacement therapy, 61 post-menopausal and taking hormone replacement therapy) completed the Women's Health Questionnaire and the Profile of …
Women's Health Australia
The Women's Health Australia (WHA) project is a longitudinal study of several cohorts of Australian women, which aims to examine the relationships between biological, psychological, social and lifestyle factors and women's physical health, emotional well-being, and their use of and satisfaction with health care. Using the Medicare database as a sampling frame (with oversampling of women from rural and remote areas), 106,000 women in the three age…

Men, work and gender
Contemporary analyses of work and unemployment need to place psychological findings in the context of society, culture, and gender in understanding the meanings of paid and unpaid work for men and for women. The Australian Psychological Society discussion paper (in this issue) takes a comprehensive view of the literature and places it in the contemporary Australian social context, but fails to consider the extent to which socially constructed gen…
Violence and abuse
Little systematic research has been conducted in Australia to develop a picture of women's experiences of violence and abuse across their lifetimes. The present study was designed to address this deficiency by assessing the prevalence of different types of abuse, the situations in which they occur, how women have coped, and the effect of abusive encounters on general health and wellbeing. Using self-report questionnaires, data were obtained from …

Correlates of depressive symptoms in a representative sample of young Australian women
This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the prevalence of depressive symptoms among a national cohort of young Australian women, and the characteristics of those who experience them. It explores the associations between demographic and health-related variables and depressive symptoms in a representative sample of 9333 Australian women aged 22-27 years, from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. Approximately 30% of these youn…
Optimism, Health-related Hardiness and Well-Being among Older Australian Women
This article examines whether optimism and health-related hardiness contribute to health and well-being among older women. Positive psychological characteristics, including optimism and health-related hardiness, are correlated with good self-rated health, but these variables are all affected by socioeconomic status, social support, physical illness and access to services. Using data from 9501 Australian women aged 73 to 78, we show that optimism …
Cohort Profile
The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH), also known as Women's Health Australia, has its history in the women's movement of the 1980s. At that time, activists successfully pressured governments in Australia, at both the State and Federal levels, to develop women's health policies. Part of the development process of the National Women's Health Policy, which was launched in 1989, involved a national consultation with women's org…
