Impact of a Health Communication Campaign on Uptake of Contraceptive Services during the 2016-2017 Zika Virus Outbreak in Puerto Rico
The Zika Contraception Access Network (Z-CAN) was established during the 2016-2017 Zika virus outbreak in Puerto Rico as a short-term emergency response program providing client-centered contraceptive counseling and same-day access to the full range of reversible contraceptive methods at no cost to women wishing to delay pregnancy. An evidence-based communication campaign, Ante La Duda, Pregunta (ALDP), was launched to encourage utilization of Z-…
Building international infection prevention and control capacity during Covid-19: Case studies from Ethiopia and Indonesia
Investing in preparedness is essential to healthcare resiliency, yet the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the inefficiencies in many healthcare systems and processes.

Ante La Duda, Pregunta: A Social Marketing Campaign to Improve Contraceptive Access during a Public Health Emergency
During the 2016-2017 Zika virus outbreak, preventing unintended pregnancy was recognized as a primary strategy to reduce adverse Zika-related pregnancy and birth outcomes. To increase awareness and uptake of contraceptive services provided through the Zika Contraception Access Network (Z-CAN) in Puerto Rico, a multi-strategy campaign called Ante La Duda, Pregunta (ALDP) was developed. The principal aim was to increase awareness of Z-CAN services,…
After a Cedaw Optional Protocol Inquiry into abortion law: A conversation with activists for change in Northern Ireland
Liberalisation of abortion laws are often presented in public and academic discourse as the end of a struggle. Northern Ireland may be showcased as a success story with decriminalization of abortion happening in 2019, after an inquiry by the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) found grave and systemic breaches of women’s rights and subsequent intervention from the Westminster Parliament changed the law. However, …
Context and the Perceived Fairness of Price Increases Coming out of Covid‐19
Objective: As the U.S. economy responds to prolonged COVID-19 disruptions, it is important to understand what factors affect the perceived fairness of pandemic-driven price increases. Methods: Participants read a vignette and rated how fair they found a pandemic-driven price increase. Versions vary (1) the source (hardware-store products or bus fare), (2) the magnitude of the price increase (6 percent or 18 percent), and (3) the tone of an initia…
Using Subvertising to Build Families’ Persuasion Knowledge in Jamaica
Despite the importance of persuasion knowledge (PK) for understanding how individuals cope with persuasion, there is little research addressing how PK can be developed and sustained. We explore dispositional PK (consumers’ confidence in their knowledge about marketer agents’ persuasion tactics) and coping skills (i.e., critical thinking about media: skepticism, understanding bias, scrutinizing source) among families in Jamaica after an interventi…
Using Interviewing in Public Health Research: Experiences of Novice Researchers
In this article, we provide the experiences of three novice public health researchers conducting studies with several vulnerable populations: women, people with disabilities, and children. We describe all phases of our interview studies including developing data collection guides, planning the interview in an appropriate setting, conducting the interviews, and bringing the interview to a close. Specific components of the interviews that are discu…
Brothermothering: Gender, Power, and the Parenting Strategies of Low-Income Black Single Mothers of Teenagers
Much has been made about the rise in single mother households over the past several decades, with significant focus on absent fathers and the challenges single mothers face. Black single mother households are often the face of this debate. Drawing on 31 in-depth interviews with low-income black single mothers of teenagers, we examine the racialized gender strategies these mothers develop in their carework. Findings reveal that amid current gender…
Being a Good Mom: Low-Income, Black Single Mothers Negotiate Intensive Mothering
The tenacity of the intensive mothering ideology-the notion that good mothers should invest vast amounts of time, money, energy, and emotional labor in mothering-is well documented, particularly among affluent White mothers. Drawing on 16 interviews with low-income, Black single mothers, we analyze how gender, race, class, and the ideology of intensive mothering intersect to shape these mothers' parenting. Mothers repeatedly emphasized the import…
Frames and Narratives as Tools for Recruiting and Sustaining Group Members: The Soulforce Equality Ride as a Social Movement Organization
Structuring collective action, given diverse human thoughts, feelings, and behavior, is an arduous task. This article examines one way collective action can be facilitated by analyzing how social movement organizations (SMOs) use narratives as a key resource for recruiting members and sustaining participation. Data for this analysis were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with 34 participants of the Soulforce Equali…
