Swimmers at Windermere regularly practice across all four seasons while negotiating social concerns such as access, conflicting user groups, public health communications, and swim safety, alongside environmental complications including extreme weather, wastewater, run-off, plastic pollution, algal blooms, biosecurity, and climate change. Simultaneously, these entangled pressures generate ongoing adaptation, ambivalence, and avoidance within the swim communities. Furthermore, they disrupt individualised and inwardly focused understandings of ‘healthy’ outdoor swimming practices. In contribution to the special issue (on outdoor swimming), this article reflects on how outdoor swimming researchers may methodologically attend to these social and environmental complexities within contested lacustrine environments through an immersive 12-month wet ethnographic approach, combining ‘lake-hangouts’ and ‘swim-along interviews’ with different swimmers at Windermere. The article discusses how these relational in-situ approaches can continue to broaden inwardly focused understandings of ‘healthy’ outdoor swimming practices towards the wider social and environmental relations for both the participants and researcher. The article also highlights senses of ambivalence and ethical tension while negotiating conflicting concerns of ill-health, in and out of Windermere's fragile waters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 103304"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861925","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}

First, the patient-acupuncturist relationship contributes to patient emotional support and wellbeing, with the clinic providing emotional sanctuary. Second, the clinic provides a therapeutic complement to allopathic approaches to fertility treatment, with the acupuncturist providing informational support which informs patient decision-making and, in some cases, arguably contributing to the treatment itself. In exploring the therapeutic and health-enabling importance of the acupuncture clinic, this paper adds important qualitative depth to an aspect of assisted reproduction that has become an essential complement to the medical process to many couples, but has arguably remained neglected in academic research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 103321"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001497/pdfft?md5=4553ea3cfc3090d2a63b1b2127f98aeb&pid=1-s2.0-S1353829224001497-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141768322","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}

This study proposes a framework to formulate a multi-dimensional access index that considers travel time, operating hours, and availability of transit infrastructure across space. We use food pantries in New York City as a case study since there are relatively few of them and they have limited opening hours. We propose an index that quantifies spatiotemporal access by different modes of transportation and takes operating hours of food pantries into account during a one week time period. We compare our results to two traditional access measures and demonstrate that our index provides a significantly different measure of access. We utilize this index to highlight areas of high need but low resources, which shows the importance of this tool to policy makers and service providers. We use our experience of developing this index to highlight the challenges with quantitative analysis of human experience. Our tool is reproducible through an open-access software, which allows researchers and policy-makers to utilize it with parameters that reflect their communities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 103319"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141736691","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}
