The Hormone Medicated Self
Although some people feel that medication reveals a more authentic version of themselves, others question whether medication alters their true personality and behavior. Interrogating these effects occurs at all ages, yet knowing and defining oneself also represents a milestone toward becoming an adult.

Sex Educators' Strategies for Building Student Trust
Although clinicians have been the focus of research on trust in health care, much of the health guidance Americans receive occurs outside clinical settings.

This study asks: How do health educators approach building trust with students? In interviews with 39 s…

In this study of the intimate trajectories of 46 young adult…
“I would never just plop you into a car and say, okay, figure out how to drive this”
Metaphors are a common way to make sense of complex concepts, including sexuality. In interviews with 39 individuals who teach sex education in Illinois and Ohio, I find that sex educators compare driving to sexual behavior to gain buy-in and make lessons more concrete. While useful for achieving these goals, the metaphor overlooks key differences between driving and sex. Driving metaphors further a particular narrative of sexual health, one wher…
