Lesbian and Bisexual Women’s Experience of Emergency Management

A model for lesbian, bisexual and queer-related influences on alcohol consumption and implications for policy and practice
Research consistently reports higher rates of problematic drinking among lesbian, bisexual and queer women than among heterosexual women, but relatively little research has identified underlying factors. Within this context, the aim of the present study was to qualitatively explore the sociocultural influences on alcohol consumption among lesbian, bisexual and queer women in Australia. An ethnographic study including in-depth interviews and 10 se…
Mental health and resilience among rural Australian lesbians and gay men
We examine the mental health of lesbians and gay men in rural and regional Australia, including rural-urban comparisons of psychological distress and resilience. A national survey was conducted involving 1,264 lesbians and 1,470 gay men aged 16-89 years. Psychological distress was high; 32% of rural lesbians and 30% of rural gay men scored high to very high. There were no significant rural-urban differences for lesbians or gay men on distress or …
Demographic and Psychosocial Factors Associated With Psychological Distress and Resilience Among Transgender Individuals
Objectives. We examined the independent demographic and psychosocial factors associated with psychological distress and resilience among transgender men and women. Methods. Our data came from an online survey involving a national Australian sample of 169 transgender men and women in 2011. Survey questions assessed demographics; sources of support; contact with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender peers; and experiences of victimization. We ass…
Safe sex and the aesthetics of gay men’s HIV/Aids prevention in Australia: From Rubba me in 1984 to F**k me in 2009
This article offers a selective review of the history of gay men’s HIV/AIDS prevention in Australia. It argues that from the outset of the epidemic, those working in gay men’s HIV prevention in Australia developed a new health education aesthetic, a safe-sex aesthetic, which packaged safe-sex information in ways that were sex positive and appealing to the target audience. At the same time, it presented safe sex as constitutive of a shared gay mal…
Cash Cropping, Farm Technologies, and Deforestation: What are the Connections? A Model with Empirical Data from the Bolivian Amazon
Research suggests that cash cropping is positively associated with deforestation. We use three-year data (2000-2002, inclusive) from 493 households to estimate the association between cash cropping rice and deforestation. Doubling the area sown with rice is associated with a 26-30 percent increase in the area of forest cleared during the next cropping season. We simulate the changes in rice cultivation to reach a daily income level of $1/person f…
Energetic Models of Human Nutritional Evolution
Over the past decade, biological anthropologists have increasingly begun to rely on energetic models for understanding patterns and trends in hominin evolution (e.g., Leonard and Robertson, 1994, 1997a; Aiello and Wheeler, 1995; Leonard, 2002). The study of energetics is important to evolutionary research for several reasons. First, food energy represents a critical interface between organisms and their environment. The search for food energy, it…
Cultural, Practical, and Economic Value of Wild Plants: A Quantitative Study in the Bolivian Amazon
Knowledge and Consumption of Wild Plants: A comparative study in two Tsimane' villages in the Bolivian Amazon
Researchers have often equated ethnobotanical knowledge collected through interview questions with actual uses of plants, but knowledge and uses of plants might or might not move in lockstep. Using data from 132 adults living in two villages of a foraging-farming society in the Bolivian Amazon, the Tsimane ́, we compare ethnobotanical knowledge with uses of wild and semi-domesticated plants. Villages differed in proximity to the market town and i…
