Reformulating the Worker Identity
The number of men in the Canadian workforce who have prostate cancer is increasing. The purpose of the study was to explore the processes involved in men's return to work post radical prostatectomy and understand how these events are connected to masculinities. Drawing on data collected through individual interviews with 24 participants, constructivist grounded theory method was used to develop the substantive theory of Reformulating the Worker I…
Overcoming adversity
This article presents findings from a grounded theory study in which we explored how self-identifying gay men between 40 and 76 years of age manage their health in the context of homophobia, heteronormativity and discrimination. Data were collected with 25 men over a 6-month period in a large urban setting in Western Canada. A preliminary theory of health management is discussed, consisting of the central phenomenon of overcoming adversity. Three…
It's not my business
In Canada, the issue of creating safe and inclusive school environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students has been in the spotlight. Several researchers and advocates have pointed out the positive effects of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-positive policy frameworks on the health and wellbeing of all young people. In this article, we take a critical approach to analyzing narrative findings from qualitative…
I tend to forget bad things
Distress among young immigrant and refugee men has drawn increasing research attention in recent years. Nuanced understandings of distress are needed to inform mental health and public health programming. The purpose of this research was to examine distress from the perspectives of young immigrant and refugee men living in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Thirty-three young men (aged 15-22 years) from diverse immigrant and refugee bac…
Understanding Adolescent Narratives About 'Bullying' Through an Intersectional Lens
This article is based on findings from a qualitative study with 27 adolescents in northern British Columbia, Canada. Our aim was to explore youths' perspectives on the sources of emotional distress in their lives and how these are connected to peer-based aggression and victimization within their community. Our analysis of narrative findings suggests that youths' narratives about bullying reflect intersecting and socially embedded configurations o…

Promoting Resilience by Improving Children’s Sleep
A brief sleep-promoting intervention for children in disadvantaged families showed feasibility and promise. Future studies are needed to test the efficacy of a refined version of this sleep intervention with families in similar situations, focusing on decreasing burden, tailoring interventions, and sustaining change
Divided and disconnected — An examination of youths’ experiences with emotional distress within the context of their everyday lives
This paper is based on a qualitative study conducted in a rural community in British Columbia, Canada. Ethnographic methods were used to: (1) to bring youth voice to the literature on emotional distress; and (2) to capture the ways in which context shapes young peoples' experiences of emotional distress within their everyday lives. Our findings demonstrate how socio-structural contextual factors such as the local economy, geographical segregation…
Acculturation, Gender, and Mental Health of Southeast Asian Immigrant Youth in Canada
Surviving men's depression
While men's gendered experiences of depression have been described, the perspectives of women partners who are affected by men's depression have received little attention. Women partners were recruited to explore how men's depression impacts them and its influence on gender regimes. Individual interviews with 29 women spouses were coded and analysed. Although idealized femininity positions women as endlessly patient and caring, our findings revea…
The Influences of Health Beliefs and Identity on Adolescent Marijuana and Tobacco Co-Use
Among youth, the co-use of marijuana and tobacco is highly prevalent, yet a considerable gap remains in the drug-prevention literature pertaining to such co-use. In particular, the prevention field lacks research exploring how adolescents understand the health implications of smoking these two substances in combination. In this article, we draw on qualitative interviews with adolescents from three communities in British Columbia, Canada, and desc…
Health Care Professionals Implementing a Smoke-Free Policy at Inpatient Psychiatric Units
Smoke-free grounds policies (SFGPs) were introduced to inpatient psychiatric hospital settings to improve health among patients, staff, and visitors. We conducted an ethnographic study in Northern British Columbia, Canada, to describe how the implementation of SFGPs is affected by institutional cultures. Data reported here included participant observation, document review, informal discussions ( n = 11), and interviews with health care profession…
Adolescents' Perceptions of Parental Influences on Their Smoking Behavior
The purpose of this study was to describe adolescents' perceptions of parental influences on their smoking behavior. Thirty-five adolescents, 14 to 18 years old, provided narrative accounts of their smoking histories in semistructured interviews. Most of the participants recognized that their parents played an important role in shaping their experiences with cigarettes. They described several different ways in which parents influenced their smoki…
The privileged normalization of marijuana use – an analysis of Canadian newspaper reporting, 1997–2007
The objective of this study was to systematically examine predominant themes within mainstream media reporting about marijuana use in Canada. To ascertain the themes present in major Canadian newspaper reports, a sample ( N = 1999) of articles published between 1997 and 2007 was analyzed. Drawing from Manning's theory of the symbolic framing of drug use within media, it is argued that a discourse of 'privileged normalization' informs portrayals o…

The Process of Safer Crack Use Among Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside
In this article we discuss the findings from a grounded theory study in which we explored how women residing in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) minimized some of the physical, psychological, and interpersonal harms associated with crack cocaine use, and identify the social, economic, and political factors that influence safer use. Data were collected over a 3-month period and involved group interviews with 27 women at an agency run by drug u…
Reconciling Parenting and Smoking in the Context of Child Development
In this article we explore the micro-social context of parental tobacco use in the first years of a child's life and early childhood. We conducted individual interviews with 28 mothers and fathers during the 4 years following the birth of their child. Using grounded theory methods, we identified the predominant explanatory concept in parents' accounts as the need to reconcile being a parent and smoking. Desires to become smoke-free coexisted with…
Temptation experiences during a smoking cessation attempt
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to gain an insider's perspective regarding the overall experiences of 61 participants who attempted to quit smoking and to determine whether particular factors were associated with lapses.Design: A 14-day longitudinal randomized design. Methods: Participants used palm-top computers and tape-recorders to report on smoking temptation episodes. All urges experienced from the onset of the participant's quit d…
Ethical and Epistemological Insights
Debates over how to determine age of consent for youth to participate in research feature prominently in the practice of researchers, research ethics boards (REBs), and community decision makers working with youth. In particular, tensions can arise over how the ethical principles of beneficence, autonomy, and justice are interpreted and applied in research involving young people. We discuss our experiences obtaining ethical approval to conduct a …
A computer-assisted approach to filtering large numbers of documents for media analyses
Media analysts are challenged to acquire selections of documents that are representative of their topics of interest. Conventional search and selection processes are often constrained because of an inability to efficiently filter large amounts of potentially relevant documents and thus pose the risk of introducing bias. We describe a computer-assisted approach to increase the probability of identifying all articles relevant to a topic (in this ca…

Creating the socially marginalised youth smoker
We discuss how the tobacco control discourse on youth smoking in Canada appears to be producing and constituting socially marginalised smokers. We analyse material from a study on social inequalities in Canadian youth smoking. Individual interviews were conducted in 2007 and 2008 with tobacco control practitioners specialising in youth smoking prevention in British Columbia and Quebec. We found that the discourse on youth smoking is creating a se…
Men's discourses of help-seeking in the context of depression
Depression is an illness increasingly constructed as a gendered mood disorder and consequently diagnosed in women more than men. The diagnostic criteria used for its assessment often perpetrate and reproduce gender stereotypes. The stigma associated with mental illness and the gendered elements of depression suggest there are likely numerous discourses that position, explain, and justify help-seeking practices. This qualitative study explored men…

Interviewing Young Children
Qualitative research studies have demonstrated that very young children can provide important insights into their daily lives and health experiences. Despite the shift to include children's perspectives in research and document principles related to good data collection with children, there has not been a parallel move within the scholarly community to lay bare the practical challenges inherent in conducting interviews with children. In this arti…

Becoming a 'real' smoker
This paper draws from a qualitative study of tobacco use by young women in Toronto, Canada. Narrative interviews were used to understand the multiple roles and functions of smoking within the everyday lives of female adolescents. Guided by a Bourdieusian theoretical framework this study employed the core construct of cultural capital in order to position tobacco and other substance use as field-specific capital that young women accumulate while n…

Through the Haze of Cigarettes
Narrative inquiry was used to explore the meaning of nicotine addiction among teenage girls, age 14 to 17 years, who had recent experience with smoking. The following three narratives emerged: invincibility, giving in, and unanticipated addiction. Those who told a story of invincibility depicted how they were in control of their smoking and not addicted. Participants who gave accounts of giving in to smoking described yielding to external forces.…

Not the swab!' Young men's experiences with STI testing
In Canada, STI rates are high and rising, especially amongst young men. Meanwhile, the needs of young men regarding STI testing services are poorly understood, as are the socio-cultural and structural factors that influence young men's sexual health-seeking behaviours. To better understand this phenomenon, we draw on interviews with 45 men (ages 15-25) from British Columbia, Canada. Our research reveals how structural forces (e.g. STI testing pro…

Attitudes, Ideology, and the Factor Model
Recent discussions of the ideological basis of attitudes utilize both ordinary and confirmatory factor analysis as analytical representations of ideology. We examine the theoretical implications of employing this modeling style, and conclude that it imposes severe limitations on how ideology can be conceptualized and that it can lead to unreasonable claims about the sources of attitudes. The counting of as the dimensionality of ideology is an exe…

Men's business, women's work
To further understand men's continued smoking during their partner's pregnancy and the postpartum period, a study was undertaken to explore women's perspectives of men's smoking. Using a gender lens, a thematic analysis of transcribed interviews with 27 women was completed. Women's constructions of men's smoking and linkages to masculine and feminine ideals are described. The findings highlight the ways women position themselves both as defenders…
Fathers
Many fathers mitigate the harm of their smoking by physically separating their smoking from their children and child care activities.The aim of this study was to empirically locate smoking and masculinities by detailing the highly gendered nature of the everyday places where fathers smoke. A masculinities framework was used to interpret interview and photovoice data drawn from an ethnographic study of fathers who smoke. Twenty participants comple…
Canadian Punjabi Sikh men's experiences of lifestyle changes following myocardial infarction
These findings highlight how collectivist ideals influence Canadian Punjabi Sikh men's adoption of lifestyle changes post-MI. The content and processes by which healthcare providers deliver heart health and rehabilitation to Canadian Punjabi Sikh men might be guided, at least in part, by the collectivist cultural practices underpinning our findings
Physical Evidence on the Origin and Fate of the Panhandle Aspect People
Comparison of the populations of four Panhandle Aspect sites (Alibates, Antelope Creek, Matthews Ranch, Footprint) using 28 non-metric traits of the skulls indicates generally close similarity among them, but the Panhandle groups show little similarity to Upper Republican. Antelope Creek and Matthews Ranch show some resemblance to the Fort Coffee skulls of the Fulton Aspect. The same two Panhandle site samples also resemble the Washita River peop…

Othering and Being Othered in the Context of Health Care Services
Othering is a process that identifies those that are thought to be different from oneself or the mainstream, and it can reinforce and reproduce positions of domination and subordination. Although there are theoretical and conceptual treatments of othering in the literature, researchers lack sufficient examples of othering practices that influence the interactions between patients and health care providers. The purpose of this study was to explore…

Synchronizing Clinician Engagement and Client Motivation in Telephone Counseling
Health care increasingly incorporates telephone counseling, but the interactions supporting its delivery are not well understood. The authors' clinical trial of a tailored, nurse-administered smoking cessation intervention for surgical patients included a telephone counseling component and provided an opportunity to describe the interaction dynamics of proactive telephone counseling over the course of 4 months. Tape-recorded telephone counseling …
Crossing the Line
Although adolescents are often curious about cigarettes and anxious to "try" smoking, they are unsure about what engaging in the act of smoking will mean. Most adolescents who experiment with smoking do not set out to become addicted to tobacco. Using a grounded theory approach, the authors examined the process youth undergo to regain control over their smoking. Accounts of early smoking experiences suggest that youth undergo a process to control…

Smoking Decisions from a Teen Perspective
Our findings have significance for public health workers planning and implementing tobacco-use prevention programs aimed at teens whose smoking behaviors are not yet determined by nicotine addiction. How such programs have been traditionally framed and the ways in which peer influence and risk behaviors have been addressed may be largely irrelevant to the rationale of the adolescents themselves
Mothers Who Smoke
Interviews with mothers who smoke were analyzed to examine the influence of social discourses. Women presented themselves as knowledgeable about the health risks of tobacco, confessed guilt and shame, attempted to deflect accusations of neglect for smoking or exposing their children to tobacco, provided rationalization that they smoked for the sake of their children, and, although they were all smokers, demonstrated an antismoking stance. The fin…
Tobacco Use in Intimate Spaces
Few guidelines exist for using qualitative research to examine couple dynamics in contexts complicated by strong social stigmas and wide-ranging patterns of interpersonal relationships. The purpose of this article is to describe the methodological and ethical issues that arose in an ongoing qualitative study focused on tobacco reduction in the context of couple relationships, and the strategies undertaken to deal with these challenges. The author…

Preventing sexually transmitted infections among adolescents
Most primary prevention research has attempted to explain sexual health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted infections, by focusing on individual characteristics (e.g. age), qualities (e.g. knowledge levels), and risk behaviour (e.g. unprotected intercourse). Emerging evidence indicates that population‐level health outcomes are unlikely to be explained adequately as an aggregate of such individual‐level factors. Rather, approaches that move be…
Life with jib
Crystal methamphetamine (CM) is a psychoactive form of methamphetamine whose effects include euphoria, alertness, restlessness, feelings of endless energy, sleep deprivation, depression, paranoia, acute psychosis, and malnutrition. CM use among street-involved youth is high, yet little is known about their patterns of use, the side effects they experience, and the ways in which they manage their drug use and survive on the streets. We undertook a…
An ethnographic study of tobacco control in hospital settings
Overcoming challenges to extending tobacco control within hospitals could be enhanced by emphasising the value of addressing patients' tobacco use, raising awareness of nicotine dependence, and improving the availability of resources to address addiction issues
Risky groups, risky behaviour, and risky persons
Significant public health attention has been focused on the problems of youth sexual behaviour. Empirical public health research in this area has attempted to account for mostly negative sexual health outcomes (e.g. sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancies) by examining individual characteristics and risk-taking behaviour. Public health practice has followed suit, focusing primarily on modifying sexual risk behaviour and lifestyle …
