Un]met Need and [Un]wanted Family Planning
Unwanted family planning often refers to fertility desires as a proxy for contraceptive desire and lacks alignment with the tenets of person‐centered care. We construct a person‐centered measure of unwanted family planning by asking women whether they wanted to use a method, examine its alignment with the fertility‐derived measure, and describe the characteristics of women with unwanted family planning and reasons women state for not wanting to u…
Research agenda for ending preventable maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage
INTRODUCTION: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal death. Yet there is a lack of clarity around what research is needed to determine what works and how best to deliver proven PPH interventions. This article describes a WHO-led effort to develop a global PPH research agenda for 2023-2030, to reinvigorate research and innovation while avoiding duplication and waste. METHODS: Potential questions were culled from evidenc…
Provider verbal disrespect in the provision of family planning in public-sector facilities in Western Kenya
Public-sector healthcare providers in low- and middle-income countries are a primary source of family planning but their disrespectful (i.e., demeaning or insulting) treatment of family planning clients may impede free contraceptive choice. The construct of disrespect and abuse has been widely applied to similar phenomena in maternity care and could help to better understand provider mistreatment of family planning clients. With a focus on public…
Beyond Virtue-Signaling
As public health mourns the inequitable loss of lives to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and confronts other major social crises, practitioners must explicitly address systems of oppression in their everyday praxis. We describe how the principles of public health critical race praxis (PHCRP) and design justice (DJ) can advance equity in public health. We begin with an overview of PHCRP and DJ, and develop an integrated approach to facilitate …
Frequency and impact of long wait times for family planning in public-sector healthcare facilities in Western Kenya
BACKGROUND: Long wait times for family planning services are a barrier to high quality care and client satisfaction. Existing literature examining family planning wait times has methodological limitations, as most studies use data collected during exit interviews, which are subject to recall, courtesy, and selection bias. OBJECTIVE: We sought to employ a mixed methods approach to capture the prevalence, length, causes, and impacts of wait times f…
Absenteeism among family planning providers
Public-sector healthcare providers are on the frontline of family planning service delivery in low- and middle-income countries like Kenya, yet research suggests public-sector providers are frequently absent. The current prevalence of absenteeism in Western Kenya, as well as the impact on family planning clients, is unknown. The objective of this paper is to quantify the prevalence of public-sector healthcare provider absenteeism in this region o…
Findings from a mixed-methods journey map study of barriers to family planning in western Kenya
Our objective was to map and prioritize barriers to high-quality family planning care in western Kenya. We conducted key informant interviews ( n = 19); focus group discussions with clients ( n = 55); mystery client visits ( n = 180); unannounced visitors ( n = 120); and direct observation of client-provider interactions ( n = 256) at public facilities offering family planning. We synthesized the data into a client and a provider journey map, whi…
Global health governance through the UN Security Council
This article examines how the ‘health security’ paradigm positions health-related human rights as subordinate to national security concerns. As a consequence, health is viewed instrumentally, shifting the global health response towards maintaining national security rather than upholding human rights. We trace here how both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Security Council have approached global health crises, evolving ac…

Populist Nationalism Threatens Health and Human Rights in the Covid-19 Response
COVID-19 demands international cooperation, yet populist nationalism is resurgent, threatening public health, human rights, and global governance. In responding to the pandemic, populist nationalism and global solidarity represent distinct paths, with enduring consequences for health and human rights

An Archival Exploration of 19th-Century American Adult Female Offender Parricides
Social and behavioral scientists have increasingly attended to the contexts and motivational dynamics underlying parricidal events. These efforts notwithstanding, most research has focused on adolescent or adult male offender populations. One largely neglected area of study is that of adult female offender parricide. The present study utilizes archival records to examine the contexts and sources of conflict that gave rise to adult female offender…

Predictive Efficacy and the Preventive Detention of Dangerous Sexual Offenders
Compassion, Suffering and the Self
Concerns for social justice have figured prominently in much current sociological and criminological discourse. Often implicated by these critiques is the enduring presence of harm, suffering and injustice in contemporary western society - particularly as these are reinforced and perpetuated by organizational and institutional policies and practices. Less often considered are the moral-psychological foundations that give rise to these problems an…
Conflict Theory and Crime and Delinquency
Much of the sociological and criminological mainstream assumes that society is organized around and characterized by consensus; however, conflict theorists place the process of discord at the center of cultural, institutional, and organizational dynamics. While a number of theoretical variations have emerged from within the general conflict tradition, they share a few basic assumptions. First, conflict theorists assume that in more complex, indus…
Theory, Justice, and Social Change
"Theory, Justice, and Social Change: Theoretical Integration and Critical Applications represents a series of essays that systematically reviews or extends the role of critical social theory in fostering justice and change in several relevant, though problematic, social contexts. Mindful of the need to address both conceptual exegeses and pragmatic concerns, the articles contained in this volume grapple with the ongoing "double crisis" that confr…
Reclaiming the Expressive Subject
Situated within the theoretical and philosophical frameworks of Romanticism and expressionism in the arts, the present exposition argues for conceptual renewal in the study of deviance, specifically entailing a reclamation of the expressive subject of deviance. In particular, it is argued that many forms of deviance can and should be understood as fundamentally artistic, embodying creative, expressive, emotive, symbolic, and communicative element…

Anarchaos and Order
In this article we explore aspects of anarchism and of chaos theory, suggesting that recent insights advanced by the latter shed new light on the former. The former conceptually explains the importance of natural order as a human process that questions and, ultimately, subverts the artifice of state-imposed authoritative order. The latter examines, both theoretically and empirically, the role of order, disorder, and `chaotic' social dynamics in t…
