Media narratives thus offer critical insight into evolving societal perceptions of surrogacy and infertility treatment.MethodsThis study critically examines surrogacy practices and experiences in Nigeria through media representations in <i>Punch</i>, a leading national newspaper. Using inductive qualitative content analysis without a defined timeframe, it explores how surrogacy is framed through gender, class, morality, and reproductive labour. Guided by framing theory and stratified reproduction, articles were coded for dominant frames and emergent themes.ResultsSeven key themes were identified: (1) Surrogacy as a Solution to Infertility, (2) Types and Processes of Surrogacy, (3) Role of Surrogacy Agencies in Navigating Infertility Treatment, (4) Legal and Regulatory Gaps, (5) Emotional and Psychological Challenges, (6) Financial and Ethical Concerns, and (7) Cultural and Social Context. Media representations situated surrogacy at the intersection of pronatalist expectations, kinship obligations, religious beliefs, and legal ambiguity. Coverage reflected both celebration and moral unease, simultaneously reinforcing stigma and offering pathways for acceptance.ConclusionsFindings reveal that Nigerian media mirror and mediate social inequalities in reproductive access and legitimacy, illustrating how reproductive labour is differentially valued across gendered and class hierarchies. By contextualizing ARTs within local cultural meanings and regulatory voids, this study contributes to critical debates on reproductive justice, bioethics, and the globalization of fertility care in the Global South.</p>","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X261483611"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148907831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Black and African Americans face numerous barriers to vaccination, reflected in consistently lower vaccination rates and higher hospitalization and mortality rates. This qualitative study aimed to understand perceptions and factors influencing COVID-19 and influenza vaccination among Black and African American adults to inform interventions and outreach to prevent increased acuity of vaccination disparities. Eighty-six Black and African Americans in Milwaukee, WI were purposively recruited to participate in in-depth interviews.Major FindingsWe identified two themes and five subthemes reflecting vaccine perspectives, influences, and decision-making. In the first theme, <i>similarities and differences in attitudes and willingness to get vaccinated against influenza and COVID-19,</i> we identified three subthemes: (1) prevention was a motivating factor for getting both COVID-19 and influenza vaccines; (2) mistrust surrounding COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccine fueled hesitancy; and (3) some participants held discordant beliefs surrounding vaccines and healthcare. In the second theme, <i>sources of vaccine information influencing vaccine perspectives</i>, we identified two subthemes: (1) main sources of vaccine information were television news and the internet, not trusted healthcare professionals, and (2) life experiences affected perspectives.ConclusionsOur findings show that vaccine perspectives are shaped by a complex interplay of personal beliefs, experiences, cultural identity, and trust. Public health strategies to improve vaccination rates should acknowledge mistrust, dispel myths and misinformation, and engage trusted communities and messengers across both healthcare and community settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X261481203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148820379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined how embedding trauma- and violence-informed principles within physical activity programming can support mental health among self-identified women who experience interpersonal and/or structural violence.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews within a feminist participatory action research project that delivered group-based trauma- and violence-informed physical activity (TVIPA) programs across three low-income Canadian communities. Women were interviewed after completing at least 6 weeks of programming. Data were analyzed thematically using an intersectional lens (considering overlapping social identities and structural inequities) to explore perceived benefits, mechanisms of change, and contextual factors.ResultsData were drawn from <i>n</i> = 74 participants who self-identified mental health concerns, from the total study cohort of <i>n</i> = 168. Three themes were constructed: (1) Enhancing mental health and building self-efficacy through TVIPA, (2) Safety as a foundational pillar for engagement, and (3) Physical activity as a catalyst for connection and community.

Thematic analysis was conducted using deductive and inductive approaches guided by structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and empowerment theory.Study SampleThirty articles met the inclusion criteria, comprising studies examining Black men's infertility experiences, male fertility barriers, or reproductive health disparities.Data Collection and/or AnalysisStudies were identified through systematic searches across multiple electronic databases. Eligible articles underwent thematic analysis using deductive and inductive approaches guided by structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and empowerment theory.ResultsSix barrier categories emerged: cultural and social barriers (60% of studies), socioeconomic challenges (53%), knowledge gaps (30%), healthcare system barriers (17%), emotional burdens (17%), and environmental factors (13%). High costs of assisted reproductive technologies emerged as the primary obstacle, compounded by limited insurance coverage and income disparities. Cultural stigma surrounding masculinity, provider bias, and systemic marginalization of Black men in female-centric reproductive medicine represented additional barriers. Only 16.7% of studies focused primarily on Black men, highlighting systematic research neglect.ConclusionsBlack men face complex, multilevel barriers to infertility care rooted in compounding racial and gender marginalization.

Adjusted random intercept regression models determined associations between SuperShelf status and shopper outcomes of interest. Results showed that SuperShelf shoppers were more likely to indicate greater frequency of positive experiences when visiting the food pantry compared to non-SuperShelf shoppers. SuperShelf shoppers were also more likely to prioritize fresh produce and less likely to prioritize less nutritious, convenience, and snack foods than non-SuperShelf shoppers.
