The idea that children need a mother and a father to thrive is a hegemonic ideology of parenting, yet research finds that children do equally well in families with two parents of any gender. Prior research has not addressed how social location shapes parents' engagement with gender essentialist ideologies of parenting. Filling this gap, we analyze ethnographic and interview data based on the experiences of poor fathers of color and mostly white, …
We Don't Exactly Fit In, but We Can't Opt Out
ObjectiveThis qualitative study, which was guided by an integrative theoretical lens incorporating ecological, intersectional, and minority stress frameworks, examined the heteronormative and gendered contexts of gay fathers' relationships with other parents in their children's schools.BackgroundParents' interactions with other parents in the school environment can be a source of support, connection, tension, and/or alienation, and are significan…
Evaluating concurrent validity of criminal justice and clinical assessments among women on probation
BACKGROUND: Women in the criminal justice (CJ) system experience complex and comorbid medical, psychiatric, and substance use disorders, which often contribute to CJ involvement. To identify intersections between CJ and health needs, we calculated Spearman r correlations between concurrent CJ and clinical assessments from women on probation in Connecticut who were enrolled in a clinical trial. We examined longitudinal trends in CJ risk scores ove…
Managing Without Moms
Cultural norms surrounding gender and family have failed to keep pace with demographic trends of family change, resulting in a wide range of family forms that are excluded from family normativity. Yet the contexts in which diverse families confront normative expectations, and the strategies they use to navigate such situations, have received limited attention. Using participant observation with gay father groups and interviews with 41 gay fathers…
Use of prescribed smoking cessation pharmacotherapy following release from prison
Despite a very high rate of tobacco use among people cycling through prisons and the very low cost of (subsidised) SCP in Australia, few ex-prisoners obtain pharmaceutical assistance with quitting smoking. Policy attention needs to focus on supporting former prisoners to access SCP, to reduce the high rate of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality in this profoundly marginalised population
Agreement between self-reported healthcare service use and administrative records in a longitudinal study of adults recently released from prison
BACKGROUND: Studies of healthcare service use often rely on self-reported data, especially in disadvantaged populations. Despite this, the reliability of self-reported healthcare service use is often questioned and routinely-collected, administrative data are usually considered preferable. In this paper we examine the agreement between self-reported healthcare service use and administrative records, in a large cohort of adults recently released f…
Prescribed contraceptives among woman after release from prison
Despite the high rates of unintended and complicated pregnancy among women who have spent time in prison, little is known about their use of prescribed contraceptives post-prison release. We used a routinely-collected medicine utilisation dataset linked to a longitudinal cohort of adults released from prison to describe the dispensing of contraceptive medication. The socio-demographic profiles of women in the cohort were characteristic of justice…
