It addresses aspects of why surgical intervention, with limited child involvement, is often seen as the ‘only option’ in the ‘conservative’ culture of Italy. The article continues to highlight the rise of parent-led human rights-based activism in Italy, challenging prevailing narratives in intersex/VSC paediatric care. Using qualitative data from two studies, including interviews with 15 Italian stakeholders and 38 Italian parents, as well as participant action research, the article provides insights into Italian medical and parental perspectives.

As a result of their criminal offence, these patients, translated here as ‘TBS foreigners’, have been declared ‘unwanted’ by the Dutch immigration services and face repatriation to their country of origin. Through contextual policy-analysis, participant observation and fifteen semi-structured interviews conducted between February and May 2023, we found that professional conduct on TBS foreigners' wards is increasingly curtailed by the Dutch legal infrastructure and the clinic's socio-material environment. This paper highlights how socio-therapists understand and navigate good care on wards where contrasting transcultural, forensic and psychiatric care objectives converge. Notably, ‘good’ transcultural care has become fraught in light of mandatory repatriation, in which we divide socio-therapists' approaches into static, dynamic and experiential. We argue those with a static approach to cultural differences with patients are most stuck in their daily work, because their goal of adopting a non-assumptive attitude has become intertwined with preparing a patients' return to society, which in these cases requires practical knowledge about a foreign country. Still, socio-therapists can find professional purpose and empowerment by focusing on each patient's humanity and creating meaningful activities within the available limits. This paper uniquely unravels lived experiences and resourcefulness of professionals providing transcultural care in forensic psychiatry, an intersection which is a growing area of concern globally. Hereby, we ensure such complex care settings can be discussed and potentially strengthened through institutional and/or national policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49122,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine","volume":"364 ","pages":"Article 117487"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I draw on thirty in-depth interviews with women who recently gave birth in the Midwest, United States to understand how the authoritative knowledge of medical staff epistemically marginalizes pregnant and birthing women's embodied knowledge and how organizational and institutional features of the medicalized hospital environment facilitate obstetric violence. These findings contribute to our understanding of how less recognized and normalized forms of violence shape women's pregnancy and birthing experience, even for those with a high degree of intersectional privilege. I argue for increased person-centered childbirth guidelines that center embodied experiences and address features of the medicalized obstetric care environment that are not sufficiently evidence-based nor facilitate better outcomes for birthing people.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49122,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine","volume":"363 ","pages":"Article 117497"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142631009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article theoretically explores how sexual minority stigma may function as a multilevel socioecological system, by building on prevailing theories and emphasizing the interplay between structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal stigma-related factors. Drawing on the minority stress and socioecological theories, three central tenets are proposed, namely 1) chronosystem with immediate, accumulating, or lasting effects across spatiotemporal contexts, 2) nested multilevel system with cross-level effects, and 3) mechanistic pathways linking stigma exposure to health. By providing a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of how sexual minority stigma may operate as a multilevel socioecological system, this article reflects on the novel implications of this interpretation for future research and aims to guide future conceptualizations and studies, acknowledging the complexity of sexual minority stigma exposure across historical contexts, societies, and the individual life course in shaping physical and mental health of sexual minorities.

Addressing this research gap is a key to advancing our understanding of how to promote a healthier family dynamic, especially for those facing material needs.

Results support the family stress model framework, where food insecurity significantly predicts an increase in psychological distress in caregivers, which in turn leads to more severe child emotional problems and hyperactivity symptoms. This study also shows that food insecurity is a risk factor resulting in a reciprocal association between caregiver psychological distress and child emotional problems, where the strength of both directions is similarly harmful to each other.

Cox regression models that adjust for early life covariates revealed a 48% higher mortality risk among those who experienced at least one familial death by age 32; separate models provide evidence that the accumulation of familial deaths is related to midlife mortality risk. Models of relationship type indicate that death of a mother or sibling is associated with a 74% and 77% increase in mortality risk, respectively.

We employed a difference-in-differences approach by matching programme beneficiary facilities to the districts and communities where households reside. The data are drawn from the 2008, 2013, and 2018 rounds of Nigeria's Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), comprising responses for approximately 120,000 children. Our findings reveal a significant increase in child dietary diversity, particularly in districts with two beneficiary facilities, suggesting stronger effects with expansive programme implementation. Additionally, we observed positive effects on children's consumption of various nutritious foods for those children in districts with two beneficiary facilities. This study investigates a potential mechanism by which expanding access to healthcare facilities, through funding two clinics per district, may contribute to improved child dietary diversity. Our findings suggest that, unlike districts with one beneficiary facility, those with two funded clinics have a higher likelihood of women engaging in work outside the home and earning cash for it. As shown in the analysis, this mechanism is likely due to easier access to health facilities and better contact with health officers, which facilitate quicker reintegration into the labour market for mothers after childbirth and, in turn, could lead to better maternal earnings and potentially enable a more diverse diet for children. The findings suggest that SURE-P's expansive implementation strengthens child nutrition outcomes and supports maternal economic empowerment. In areas with multiple SURE-P facilities, increased access to healthcare enables mothers to reintegrate into the labor market more quickly, facilitating cash income and fostering a reinforcing cycle of improved child dietary diversity and economic benefits for families. This highlights the potential of scaling such programs to maximize both health and economic outcomes in similar contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49122,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine","volume":"362 ","pages":"Article 117479"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
