Assessment of targeted intervention programs on STI symptoms among Hijra and transgender in India: Analysis of national level integrated biological and behavioral surveillance
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Targeted Intervention (TI) program on Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) symptoms among Hijra and Transgender (H/TG) persons in India. We analyzed the H/TG data from the national Integrated Biological and Behavioral Surveillance (IBBS) Survey for the years 2014-2015. The IBBS was a cross-sectional survey of 4,966 H/TG. Descriptive analysis was employed to delineate the socio-demographic profile of H/T…
Exploring the Relational in Relational Wellbeing
This paper explores the different ways that relationships and the relational figure in the integrative approach, relational wellbeing (RWB). These are (1) conceptualising persons as relational subjects; (2) relationships as the means through which people seek to address a wide variety of needs; (3) inter-relations between the experience of wellbeing and the underlying factors within persons and their contexts that either promote or undermine well…
Moral navigation and child fostering in Chiawa, Zambia
This article explores the movement of children between households in Zambia as a site of 'moral navigation'. Moral navigation extends Henrik Vigh's concept of social navigation from contexts of conflict and migration to more socially stable contexts in which well-being depends critically on people's ability to manage relationships. The live, dynamic and mobile character of these relationships means that they require active, real-time cultivation …
Towards an interdisciplinary approach to wellbeing: Life histories and Self-Determination Theory in rural Zambia
What are the prospects for a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and methodologically plural approach to wellbeing? This question is addressed using Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a psychological theory based on quantitative empirical methods, to structure qualitative analysis of wellbeing in life history interviews in Chiawa, rural Zambia. Enquiry goes beyond simply reading across methods, disciplines and contexts, to consider fundamental differ…
The Ethical Imperative of Qualitative Methods: Developing Measures of Subjective Dimensions of Well-Being in Zambia and India
Well-being advocates state that it provides a more holistic, humanistic focus for public policy. Paradoxically, however, well-being debates tend to be dominated by highly quantitative, de-contextualised statistical methods accessible to only a minority of technical experts. This paper argues the need to reverse this trend. Drawing on original primary mixed method research in Zambia and India it shows the critical contribution of qualitative metho…

The life a person lives: Religion, well-being and development in India
This paper argues that discussion of religion and development sees religion in over-institutionalised ways and is biased towards Christianity over other traditions. It explores this through analysis of the World Bank-sponsored study, Voices of the Poor, and the authors' own research in India. This shows that religious identities and practice can be quite fluid, especially amongst people in lower castes. People identify religion not just in terms …
