From subcultural to mainstream? The evolving meaning of cannabis use among youth in a restrictive policy context
Background: Cannabis liberalization trends are challenging traditional cannabis markets, opinions, cultures, and ultimately, the paradigms for understanding these social phenomena.Up-to-date studies across various socio-cultural and policy settings of how young people perceive and give meaning to their cannabis use are thus highly relevant for novel prevention and harm reduction strategies.Methods: Individual interviews with 28 students (13 girls…
The Challenge of Balance
This article explores two distinct approaches to milieu therapeutic structures within Norwegian therapeutic residential care facilities (TRCFs) for youth with severe behavioural problems. One emphasizes structure as essential for guiding behaviour and development; the other uses structure as a flexible framework supporting autonomy and self‐realization. Employing theories from Larsen, Hart, Baumrind and Rogers, we examine how these approaches sha…
Awareness of Mandatory Reporting of Intimate-Partner Violence
Purpose To explore the awareness of mandatory reporting of intimate-partner violence (MR-IPV) among help-seeking IPV victims and perpetrators and service providers in Norway. Methods A qualitative study of IPV service providers ( N = 59) and help-seeking IPV victims and perpetrators (IPV victims, N = 10; IPV perpetrators, N = 8) was conducted. Data was collected through semi-structured, open-ended interviews. The analysis was informed by Braun an…
Child Welfare Workers' Perceptions of Intimate Partner Violence and Mandatory Reporting in Norway
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major criminal, social and public health problem. As one effort to prevent IPV and intimate partner homicide, several countries have adopted legislation requiring professionals to disclose IPV to the authorities (commonly referred to as mandatory reporting). The child welfare service (CWS) is centrally positioned for detecting, reporting and preventing IPV, but there is limited empirical knowledge concerning h…
What Difference does it Make if they have Children? A Mixed Methods Study of the Impact of Children on Service Providers’ Perception of Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose Whether professionals consider children to be an important factor regarding mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (MR-IPV) remains unknown. In the present study, we examined to what extent the presence of children had an impact on service providers’ decision making when faced with IPV, and the parents’ reported consequences of MR-IPV for the children. Methods The present study is a mixed methods study combining quantitative ( N…
Experience with Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose This study explored service providers’ and help-seeking intimate partner violence (IPV) victims’ and IPV perpetrators’ experiences with mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (MR-IPV) in Norway. We examined the following research questions: How do service providers experience work within the context of MR-IPV? How do help-seeking IPV victims and IPV perpetrators experience MR-IPV? Methods This qualitative study used reflexive th…
Experiencing good results promotes positive feelings to high-intensity exercise among young adults
The major finding is that improved physical fitness was a stronger motivator than feelings of pleasantness. Experiencing good results seemed to downplay feelings of unpleasantness and reinforce positive feelings toward exercise. Lack of results reinforce negative feelings toward exercise. Participants reported high-intensity exercise as more unpleasant and exhaustive, but the interval training group were more satisfied and experienced the trainin…
Questioned parents and the professional gaze. Negotiating the organizational narratives of the at-risk parent
Purpose This study aims at a better understanding of parents’ identity work when their parenting skills are questioned, in an organizational setting. The parents in this study were assessed as at risk of unsatisfactory parental functioning because of problems related to drugs, mental health and/or psychosocial functioning, and they were observed and offered guidance at an extended health centre in Norway. The study explores how individual self-pr…
Maturing out of ‘binge drinking’
Alcohol consumption can be an important marker of transitions. In this article, we focus on the process of becoming an adult drinker, to which ‘maturing out’ of earlier drinking styles is central. Drinking style also plays a part in the construction of gender, and we explore how age and gender interact in young adult women’s accounts of maturing out of binge drinking practices. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with 19 Norwegian wom…
Female Cannabis Users and New Masculinities
Cannabis is sometimes associated with feminine or gender neutral values. Still, most cannabis users are male, and in our data cannabis use is associated with masculinity. In qualitative interviews with 19 female users and a larger sample of male users in Norway, four aspects of cannabis using practices were described as feminine: not providing cannabis, being less involved in cannabis user networks, not handling the drug effects and being concern…
Negotiating Identities
Our aim is to analyze how stories on drug use, present life situation and earlier experiences structure cannabis users’ self-presentations—as this is presented in interviews with young adults. The interviewees’ identity work takes place within a narrative terrain including both a restrictive, official story about drugs and a liberal, subcultural story about cannabis. We identify four dominant narratives about cannabis users: the burnt user, the i…
