Here, we draw from seventeen focus group discussions with women ages 15-49 in an anonymized African country to explore contraceptive coercion and eugenic logics in contemporary family planning programs through the lens of vulnerability and imperial feminism. We explore how respondents make sense of the pressure their communities face to use contraception, with results suggesting that coercion is commonplace in this context. Respondents shared a broad sense of acceptance of provider-imposed coercion, framing those who experience such coercion as vulnerable and in need of protection by healthcare providers and global development initiatives, whether they want it or not. The rationales offered to justify contemporary contraceptive coercion in this setting - poverty, disability, multiparity- often map closely to justifications for eugenic coercion that were promulgated over a century ago. These results highlight the need for a new research agenda to understand the extent of contraceptive coercion around the world, and to refocus the global family planning field on the promotion of contraceptive autonomy.","PeriodicalId":520086,"journal":{"name":"Journal of critical public health","volume":"2 3","pages":"58-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13221089/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148140593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Work and the employment conditions that shape it are key domains where this interplay occurs, a reality highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To explore the links between employment quality and social context as drivers of disease prevention, we conducted a multiple case study of food retail and services workers during COVID-19 in two U.S. states - Indiana and Washington - with differing norms and policy landscapes. We drew on public health surveillance data, government/NGO documents, and media sources to contextualize in-depth interviews with 26 precariously employed food workers. Analysis consisted of a within-case and a cross-case phase, each drawing on state contextual and interview data. Precariously employed food workers in Indiana and Washington had contrasting expectations of employers, government, and public health that we interpret as parallels of policies and norms in their respective states. Workers in both states discussed preventive behaviors in an individualized way, but appeared motivated by different constraints on their choices. Our study points to the importance of explicitly considering employment and the social safety net in public health to better prepare us for the next crisis and ameliorate health inequities under ordinary circumstances.","PeriodicalId":520086,"journal":{"name":"Journal of critical public health","volume":"1 1","pages":"45-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11376689/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142142309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
