Mothers Time
Depression and anxiety symptoms are associated with increased unmet need for family planning (FP) postpartum, yet solutions promoting the integration of mental health into FP service settings remain scarce. The aims of this study were to quantitatively examine the immediate and longer term effects of participation in a group‐based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention called Mothers Time on (1) symptoms of depression and anxiety, (2) th…
Reported Decreases in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Practices in Environmental Education Organizations
Background: STEM achievement gaps affect marginalized students nation-wide. Environmental education (EE) does not currently nor historically represent a wide range of demographic backgrounds, and increasing concerns demonstrate the effects this can have on pedagogy of the field and the success of its students. Purpose: This research focuses on measures being reported by EE organizations in Wisconsin, and nearby regions, in their work to address d…
Aspiring to establish a family
In Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, young women navigate a complicated transition from adolescence to adult life. In an evolving context, young women are expected to succeed in education and the economy, while negotiating the social pressure to start families and prove womanhood by becoming mothers. In this project, we closely followed twenty young adult unmarried women who desire to find a life partner or have a child soon. The study sought to understand…
Use of a knowledge exchange event strategy to identify key priorities for implementing deprescribing in primary healthcare in Nova Scotia, Canada
Background: Deprescribing, the process of dose reduction or stopping of medication(s) that may no longer be required, may improve medication use and patient outcomes. A collaborative interprofessional deprescribing research team was formed in 2017 in Nova Scotia (NS), Canada with the goal of investigating potential deprescribing initiatives which could be translated to primary healthcare in NS. The knowledge-to-action framework, which includes kn…
Pathways to Modern Family Planning
Despite improvements in family planning (FP) knowledge and services in West Africa, unmet need for FP continues to grow. Many programs apply a demographically and biologically driven definition of unmet need, overlooking the complex social environment in which fertility and FP decisions are made. This longitudinal, qualitative cohort study captures the changing nature of FP need, attitudes and behaviors, taking into account life context to inform…
Measuring Family Planning Provider Bias
The unmet need for modern contraception remains high around the world, particularly for youth. While some of this unmet need is driven by limited health infrastructure and method mix availability, many adolescents who visit family planning providers still do not receive methods that fit their needs. This suggests that providers may be biased against youth and that interventions to change provider behavior could help close this gap. However, it is…
On a Different Scale
This essay walks through the ways the pandemic structures and limits our movement in cities. It suggests that our well-worn tropes for walking, in this moment, shore up the power of the state over individual bodies. To imagine the possibility of how bodily movement might resist this power, the essay turns to a rhetorical conception of scale
Processing gender
The years between 10-19 represent a critical stage of human development during which boys and girls learn and embody socially constructed gender norms, with long-term implications for their sexual and reproductive health. This ethnographic cohort study sought to understand how gendered norms and practices develop during the transition from child to young adult in post-conflict northern Uganda. A total of 60 girls and boys aged 10-19 were selected…
Setting the Standard for Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is an essential component of health and sustainable places. The quality of green infrastructure often represents a missed opportunity to achieve this. This paper presents a review examining how built environment assessment systems evaluate the quality of green infrastructure. This was used to develop proposals for a new benchmark, which were examined by experts in terms of the demand, scope and operation. The findings suggest…
Preventing Pregnancy in Kenya Through Distribution and Use of the CycleBeads Mobile Application
CONTEXT: Given the proportion of Kenyan women not using hormonal contraceptives, the country appears to have a substantial need for a modern, natural family planning option. The CycleBeads® mobile phone application (app), a digital platform for the Standard Days Method® of family planning, could help address this issue. METHODS: After the CycleBeads app was promoted in Kenya in May-June 2015, a three-month pilot study was conducted to collect qua…

Mort d’Ashley Smith
Cet article constitue une relecture critique des circonstances entourant la mort d’Ashley Smith, une jeune femme décédée des causes d’asphyxie par auto-strangulation alors qu’elle avait été placée en isolement administratif par le Service correctionnel du Canada (SCC). La mort de Smith a été qualifiée d’« homicide » par un jury à la suite de l’enquête du coroner pour ensuite être qualifiée de « suicide » par le Service correctionnel du Canada (SC…
Creating the next steps to care
On paper, Niger's maternal healthcare system is extensively outlined by policies which assure access to certain services and create hierarchical referral chains. In practice it remains intensely improvisational: actors in the system must frequently make up the next steps to giving and receiving care, often outside the existing policies and procedures. Although population health in Niger has improved since the recently enacted gratuité des soins p…
Information is Power
The legitimacy and effectiveness of community engagement in planning lies in the extent to which the public can access the information required for informed decision-making. The control of ‘commercially sensitive material’ by local authorities acting as gatekeepers is a therefore a challenging area of information management within the planning application process. Through the analysis of key cases in England, this paper identifies that regulation…
The Sovereign Claims from Within
This article considers the impact of Ernst Kantorowicz’s The King’s Two Bodies for understanding how claims of sovereignty are authorized and legitimated in a secular age devoid of the divine grace that underwrites the sovereignty of the king in medieval times. Through a reading of Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, 133 S.Ct. 2552 (2013), a case concerning the custody of a child of Cherokee descent, it demonstrates that sovereign bodies are constitute…
Foucault's rhetorical challenge to law
For scholars of law, the turn to Michel Foucault's works almost inevitably invokes an apology, a qualification, or a caveat. The difficulty with which many scholars struggle is how to begin from the position of this ‘nevertheless’ or ‘however’ that marks the contingent ground from which they argue. That is, scholars grapple with how to make Foucault say something about law when what he says is indirect or culled from several different works
