  • “Perfectly supportive in theory…”

    Open AccessKatherine M Johnson, Kathleen S Slauson-Blevins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2022

    Breastfeeding is an important public health issue that significantly intersects with work, gender, and family relationships. Prior research has focused on partner dynamics in the breastfeeding family and specifically shown that male partners heavily influence women’s breastfeeding decisions and experiences. Much of this research emphasizes net gains of men’s involvement in breastfeeding. While acknowledging the importance of involved fathers earl…

  • Stability and Change in Motherhood Status and Fertility Problem Identification

    Open AccessArthur L Greil, Julia Mcquillan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2020References: 51

    Because motherhood is a valued status, the life course perspective and the theory of conjunctural action suggest the following hypotheses: for women in the United States, gaining the valued identity 'mother' should lead to an increase in self-esteem, while identification with a fertility problem identity should lead to a decrease in self-esteem. Using the nationally representative two-wave National Survey of Fertility Barriers (NSFB), we conducte…

  • Degrees of Medicalization

    Arthur L Greil, Katherine M Johnson et al.ARTICLESociological Quarterly2020Cited by: 8References: 18

    We examine responses to infertility among a sample of 2,361 women with infertility from the National Survey of Fertility Barriers. Latent class analysis uncovered seven latent classes of behavioral response which can be arranged in a rough continuum from least medicalized to most medicalized response. We then aggregated these seven categories into three schemas representing various degrees of medicalization. Women in each class combine treatment-…

  • Decline in ethical concerns about reproductive technologies among a representative sample of US women

    Open AccessArthur L Greil, W Gardiol et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2017

    Public awareness and utilization of assisted reproductive technology has been increasing, but little is known about changes in ethical concerns over time. The National Survey of Fertility Barriers, a national, probability-based sample of US women, asked 2031 women the same set of questions about ethical concerns regarding six reproductive technologies on two separate occasions approximately 3 years apart. At Wave 1 (2004–2007), women had more con…

  • Race-Ethnicity and Medical Services for Infertility

    Open AccessArthur L Greil, Julia Mcquillan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2011Cited by: 23References: 39

    Evidence of group differences in reproductive control and access to reproductive health care suggests the continued existence of 'stratified reproduction' in the United States. Women of color are overrepresented among people with infertility but are underrepresented among those who receive medical services. The authors employ path analysis to uncover mechanisms accounting for these differences among black, Hispanic, Asian, and non-Hispanic white …
