Effects were modified by race/ethnicity such that environmental resource factors were more robustly associated with memory among non-Latino White compared to non-Latino Black and Latino participants.

This confluence of intersecting health, socio-political and environmental issues highlights the need for community-driven and adaptive innovation to address inequities in complex systems of care. To inform service innovations in an inner city social service hub in Edmonton, Alberta, we co-created a process that centres PWUD in health service planning and prioritization.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using a community-based participatory research methodology informed by complexity theory, we conducted research with PWUD using SenseMaker micro-narratives and optional arts-based asset-mapping. Academic and peer researchers co-developed the study with input from the PWUD community and collected data at social service hubs and on outreach in the community. An iterative four-phase approach to research design, data collection and analysis guided the study: (i) Pre-data collection, (ii) Formal data collection, (iii) Readjusting, and (iv) Accountability.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>This methodology paper describes how our four-phase framework guided the study and promoted a dynamic and accountable approach to centering PWUD in health system innovation. Over five months, 215 PWUD participants shared narratives and rich insights into their experiences with healthcare access, harm reduction, and community support. Our results emphasise the importance of taking time to orient to each other and the community, even as a diverse team with many preexisting relationships. An iterative data analysis process allowed for adjustments in real-time to guide research focus, ensuring equity-oriented engagement with structurally vulnerable groups. Accountability began with research design, was maintained throughout data collection by creating safety for participants, and then defined the final phase of the research where we created an accessible final report and are now working with the host nonprofit partner and community members on action-oriented responses to the narratives shared.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Meaningful engagement with PWUD in co-creating health system innovation requires relational and adaptive methodologies. The process-focused results of this study demonstrate how community-based participatory research informed by complexity theory can enable accountable healthcare innovation amidst a changing social and political landscape.

Drawing on 41 semi-structured interviews with wealthy members of the business class living in and around Manchester in northern England (21 of whom were members of a CEO peer group), I analyse how three social processes-homophily, structured reciprocity and therapeutic cultural resources -make and legitimate cohesion between members, as well as instances of when cohesion fails. In doing so, I explore how therapy culture has travelled upwards, to the executive and owning class, through CEO peer groups. I make the case that CEO peer groups represent a fruitful entry point into wider debates about class formation for the contemporary business class in the UK and, given their global scope, more broadly.</p>","PeriodicalId":51368,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145349750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined how Black women perceive changes in their sexual pleasure after experiencing sexual pain, utilizing the Pleasure Mountain and Superwoman Schema frameworks to explore cultural, relational, and psychosocial influences. Data were collected from 108 Black women in the southern USA through an online survey featuring quantitative measures and open-ended responses. Participants reflected on how sexual pain reshaped their understanding of pleasure, revealing a spectrum of outcomes. Some reported positive shifts, such as discovering non-penetrative sexual activities, fostering open communication with partners, and challenging societal expectations rooted in the Superwoman Schema. These adaptive strategies highlighted resilience and agency in navigating barriers to sexual pleasure. Conversely, other participants described negative impacts, including diminished pleasure, heightened fear, and avoidance of intimacy. Partner dynamics, cultural stigmas, and internalized societal pressures often exacerbated the challenges. Findings reveal how sexual pain disrupts physical, emotional, and relational pleasure, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive, inclusive interventions to support Black women's sexual health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145338723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Australia, the growing aging population underscores the need for a comprehensive index to measure successful aging. However, challenges such as data limitations, contextual constraints, and the lack of a unified social consensus have hindered efforts to establish nationwide measurements. Inspired by the European Union's Active Aging Index and employing a consistent theoretical framework and calculation method, this paper develops an Australian aging well index comprising 21 indicators across four domains. The constructed index offers valuable insights into Australia's strengths and weaknesses in supporting older adults, while also enabling comparative evaluations across nations. Australia demonstrates strong performance in the domains of Independent, Healthy and Secure Living, and Capacity and Enabling Environment; however, improvements are needed in Employment and Social Participation and Relationships. Targeted policy interventions are recommended to enhance employment opportunities and promote social engagement, thereby fostering a more comprehensive approach to aging well.</p>","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145337486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I introduce the concept of \"aging in nationhood\" to describe how seniors draw on ethnonationalist identities to foster comfort, community, and meaning at an age of decline-often with exclusionary effects. Seniors who do not-or cannot-assimilate into majority culture experience social isolation. By linking nationalism and aging, I show how seniors reproduce the nation, shaping their well-being and the boundaries of belonging.
