The rhetoric of community participation in maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) in Kenya
Maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) aims to prevent maternal and perinatal deaths by analysing clinical and social data after the death and using these insights to generate knowledge in the form of recommendations. This requires collaboration between health professionals and community members to co-produce knowledge to prevent future deaths. Our study asked: how do interactions between community members and health worke…
Health risks at work mean risks at home
During COVID-19 lockdowns in England, 'key workers' including factory workers, carers and cleaners had to continue to travel to workplaces. Those in key worker jobs were often from more marginalised communities, including migrant workers in precarious employment. Recognising space as materially and socially produced, this qualitative study explores migrant workers' experiences of navigating COVID-19 risks at work and its impacts on their home spa…
Bending’ against straightening devices
Our study highlighted young people's everyday experiences of having to 'bend' to - and against - heteronormative straightening devices at home, in public spaces, and within institutions such as healthcare in Bangladesh. The exploration of queer experiences provides new insights into context-specific ways in which sexual and gender diverse people understand themselves. Further research using the framework of straightening devices can help public h…
Evaluating Complex Interventions Using Qualitative Longitudinal Research
Evaluating social change programs requires methods that account for changes in context, implementation, and participant experience. We present a case study of a school-based partner violence prevention program with young people, where we conducted 33 repeat interviews with nine participants during and after an intervention and analyzed participant trajectories. We show how repeat interviews conducted during and after a social change program were …
Community participation is crucial in a pandemic
Fertility regulation as identity maintenance
We take a dialogical approach to exploring fertility regulation practices and show how they can maintain or express social identity. We identify three themes in educated Ghanaian women's accounts of how they navigate conflicting social demands on their identity when trying to regulate fertility: secrecy and silence - hiding contraception use and avoiding talking about it; tolerating uncertainty - such as using unreliable but more socially accepta…
Experience as Evidence
This article investigates how healthcare professionals articulate the relationship between patient experience and 'evidence', creating hybrid forms of knowledge. We propose a Bakhtinian dialogical framework to theorise this process. Drawing on ethnographic work from patient involvement initiatives in England, we show how patient experiences are re-articulated by professionals who add their own intentions and accents in a dialogical process which …
The co-production of what? Knowledge, values, and social relations in health care
"Co-production" is becoming an increasingly popular term in policymaking, governance, and research. While the shift from engagement and involvement to co-production in health care holds the promise of revolutionising health services and research, it is not always evident what counts as co-production: what is being produced, under what circumstances, and with what implications for participants. We discuss these questions and propose that co-produc…
Oral Sex, Young People, and Gendered Narratives of Reciprocity
Young people in many countries report gender differences in giving and receiving oral sex, yet examination of young people's own perspectives on gender dynamics in oral heterosex are relatively rare. We explored the constructs and discourses 16- to 18-year-old men and women in England used in their accounts of oral sex during in-depth interviews. Two contrasting constructs were in circulation in the accounts: on one hand, oral sex on men and wome…
Spaces for Citizen Involvement in Healthcare
This ethnographic study examines how participatory spaces and citizenship are co-constituted in participatory healthcare improvement efforts. We propose a theoretical framework for participatory citizenship in which acts of citizenship in healthcare are understood in terms of the spaces they are in. Participatory spaces consist of material, temporal and social dimensions that constrain citizens' actions. Participants draw on external resources to…
Bases, Stages and 'Working your Way Up
While the symbolic importance of 'losing your virginity' has been described in many settings, meanings of non-coital sexual experiences, such as oral sex and hand-genital contact, are often missing from theorisation of sexual transitions. Drawing on data from a qualitative mixed methods study with young people aged 16-18 in England (the 'sixteen18 project'), we explore normative expectations about non-coital sex and sexual trajectories. Our study…
Factors that shape young people's sexual behaviour
What is heterosexual coercion? Interpreting narratives from young people in Mexico City
Freedom from sexual coercion is frequently cited as essential for good sexual health. Sexual experiences cannot usually be observed directly, and interpretation of interview data is therefore crucial in our understanding of sexual behaviour. This paper explores the ways in which narratives can be used to understand sexual experiences, using coercion as a specific example. The narratives examined are from interviews with young people in low-income…
Young, unmarried men and sex
Young people's sexual health is of growing concern. Past studies have been limited by their focus on the individual. More useful are interaction‐orientated approaches that focus on partners and on the social context, rather than on the individual alone. This paper describes a study of 8068 men in Mexico City that takes this new approach. Multivariate techniques were used to examine use of contraception for pregnancy prevention and for sexually tr…

Do unintended pregnancies carried to term lead to adverse outcomes for mother and child? An assessment in five developing countries
This paper investigates whether children later reported as having been unwanted or mistimed at conception will, when compared with children reported as wanted, show adverse effects when the following criteria are applied: receipt of antenatal care before the sixth month of gestation, supervised delivery, full vaccination of the child, and child growth (stunting). The study uses data from five recent Demographic and Health Survey enquiries in Boli…
