Family experiences in the context of methamphetamine use
Family relationships with someone who uses methamphetamine
Background Research on the perspectives of various family members of people who use methamphetamine is limited. We draw from Family Systems Theory to examine how families navigate these relationships.Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Australia with 19 participants identifying as parents (n = 9), siblings (n = 5), partners (n = 4), and/or friends (n = 3) of a person who uses methamphetamine (i.e. ‘their person’).Results We ident…

An…

Chemsex as wild self-care
Chemsex has received increasing scholarly attention over the past few years and is frequently defined as the sexualised use of synthetic drugs. There is an emerging binary within the literature on chemsex that portrays it as either inherently risky or liberatory. This binary assumes that chemsex is a stable category of sex and always involves integrating ‘dangerous’ synthetic substances into sex. Drawing from interviews with 16 gay/queer men and …
The reflections of health service providers on implementing contingency management for methamphetamine use disorder in Australia
Pleasuring bodies
This article explores the ways gay and queer men employ the concept of ‘play’ in relation to sex. Using Judith Butler’s theory of performativity to analyse the experiences of 16 individuals from Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia who identified as a gay and/or queer man or a member of the gay community, I present how my participants used ‘play’ to refer to casual and/or kinky sexual encounters, describe certain safer sex practices, and delineate …
Participant experiences in a pilot study for methamphetamine withdrawal treatment
The experiences of participants in this clinical trial can be distilled into four meta-themes: agency, caring-trust, safety, and communication. Participants spontaneously linked these experiences with a capacity to remain enrolled in the study. By considering the experiences of trial participants in clinical trial design, researchers can improve the experiences of future trial participants and facilitate their choice to remain enrolled in clinica…
Regimes of Drug Desires
Long-acting injectable depot buprenorphine is the latest opioid agonist therapy to be offered in Australia. There has been increasing scholarly interest in the lived experience of this treatment; however, the current qualitative research on this issue is limited to reports on the benefits and challenges individuals experience during treatment. This study expands and complicates this body of work by delving into the social, affective, and material…
Danger, Desire, and Disclosure
Qualitative research is full of spilled secrets, but what are the ethical implications of researchers/participants disclosing secrets in an interview? In this article, I explore the thicket of ethical issues surrounding disclosure and spilled secrets in qualitative research and propose a postqualitative model of trauma-informed research to navigate this thicket. I apply my unique model to five key ethical issues: (a) the significance of disclosur…
Perspectives and sentiments on contingency management from people who use methamphetamine
I just thought that was the best thing for me to do at this point’
Depot buprenorphine remains a promising treatment for OUD and offers potential to improve treatment adherence. Instances of restricted OAT choice and consumer concerns regarding a lack of agency must be addressed in order to enhance therapeutic relationships. Clinicians and other healthcare workers in this field also need greater access to information about depot buprenorphine to better address issues patients face during treatment. More research…
Wild Self-Care
Self-care has become a major topic in recent years; everyone seems to be talking about it. Within the academy, discussions on self-care often revolve around the neoliberalisation of self-care, how these practices commodify bodies and lives, and the intimate relationship between the biomedical model of health and self-care. This article takes a radical departure from the current purview of self-care discussions and offers an emancipatory alternati…
The ethics of drug use research and ‘wild self-care’
This article outlines the experiences of a postgraduate student conducting research on drug use and ‘wild self-care’ in the format of a dialogue with their supervisor. There is a wealth of literature on the ethics of drug use research, the unique issues postgraduate students contend with during their tenure, researcher emotions in the field, and how self-care can be included in the research process, but there is surprisingly little literature dis…
The Dad Bod
The term “Dad Bod” first emerged in a 2015 article by college student Pearson and initially described a young male physique that balances fat and muscle and also connotes a relaxed lifestyle involving ample amounts of beer and pizza. The term has since gained in popularity and entered the household lexicon, often in relation to early-middle-aged men. Using Scott’s theory of “performative regulation” and digital articles from men’s health and fitn…
