Barriers to Dental Services for Older Adults
Older adults have a high burden of oral disease and access barriers remain
The role of public participation in public health initiatives: An analysis of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
This is a content analysis of 489 written documents and 142 hearing testimonies, submitted to the World Health Organisation (WHO), regarding the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) during the comment period of 2000. Our aim was to consider the benefits and limitations of inviting public participation. We found that, overall, those who offered commentary were in support of the FCTC and any ensuing treaty, especially if it protected chil…
Implementation of a workplace smoking ban in bars: The limits of local discretion
Many local enforcers wished to forfeit their local discretion and believed the workplace smoking ban in bars would be best implemented by a state agency. The potential implication of this study is that, given the complex nature of local politics, smoking bans in bars are best implemented at a broader provincial or national level
Policy makers' perspectives on tobacco control advocates' roles in regulation development: Table 1
There is an important role for tobacco control advocates in the policy development process in regulatory agencies
Science in regulatory policy making: Case studies in the development of workplace smoking restrictions
Advocates can support health related regulations by submitting commentary emphasising the sound research base for regulation and countering criticisms of research. National coordination of these efforts could avoid duplication of effort and make more efficient use of limited public health resources
Compulsory Closets and the Social Context of Disclosure
In this study I analyze the dynamics of the disclosure process, particularly the power contests in the disclosure of a lesbian identity . I found that when disclosure is conceptualized as an interaction, it becomes clear that both parties are active and that the successful completion of a disclosure depends on the degree of consensus and cooperation between the individuals involved. When I analyzed the dynamics of the disclosure of a lesbian iden…
Gender and Emotion in the Advocacy for Breast Cancer Informed Consent Legislation
This is a qualitative study of the role of gender and emotion in a political setting. The data are from interviews of activists and legislators, as well as from archival accounts of the debates in state legislatures about breast cancer informed consent legislation. I found that proponents for and against the legislation shared the belief that women are more emotional than men. This social belief shaped the political strategies the activists adopt…
The Many Faces of RU486: Tales of Situated Knowledges and Technological Contestations
In the highly contentious abortion arena, the new oral abortifacient technology RU486 is one among many actors. This article offers an arena analysis of the heterogeneous constructions of RU486 by various actors, including scientists, pharmaceutical compa nies, medical groups, antiabortion groups, women's health movement groups, and others who have produced situated knowledges. Conceptually, we find not only that the identity of the nonhuman acto…
Personal Relationship Ads: An Informal Balancing Act
This study is a grounded theory analysis of 1,169 personal relationship ads placed in the San Francisco Bay Guardian between 1973 and 1987. The results of the coding process yielded four major categories: Up Front, Con-Avoidance, Presentation of Self as Unique, and Appeal to Fate, which are described and illustrated. These categories are integrated into a model of anticipatory relationship management. Analysis of advertisements reveals ad placers…
