“…We therefore performed qualitatively-driven, sequential analysis, that is, a focused further analysis of the same data, using a different analytical technique (Simons, Lathlean, & Squire, 2008). The sequential analysis we present here focused on care-related labour and young women's HIV risk.…”

Addressing discriminatory gender norms is a prerequisite for preventing HIV in women, including young women. However, the gendered expectation that women will perform unpaid childcare-related labour is rarely conceptualised as influencing their HIV risk. Our aim was to learn from members of a rural Swazi community about how gendered childcare norms. We performed sequential, interpretive analysis of focus group discussion and demographic survey data, generated through participatory action research. The results showed that gendered childcare norms were firmly entrenched and intertwined with discriminatory norms regarding sexual behaviour. Participants perceived that caring for children constrained young women's educational opportunities and providing for children's material needs increased their economic requirements. Some young women were perceived to engage in "transactional sex" and depend financially on men, including "sugar daddies", to provide basic necessities like food for the children they cared for. Our results suggested that men were no longer fulfilling their traditional role of caring for children's material needs, despite women's traditional role of caring for their physical and emotional needs remaining firmly entrenched. The results indicate that innovative approaches to prevent HIV in young women should incorporate structural approaches that aim to transform gendered norms, economically empower women and implement policies guaranteeing women equal rights.

“…Therefore, at this stage, recurring words, repeated happenings, meanings and concepts were integrated, connected and grouped into broad categories. The purpose of this was to detect conceptual similarities, to refine differences between categories and to discover patterns (Simons et al, 2008). Finally, selective coding was conducted to further refine and unite categories based on overarching ideas and concepts and to derive themes (Table 1).…”

SUMMARYThis study seeks to understand how public health messages provided by the government in Singapore during an Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic were framed by the news media for the public. News articles were analyzed to explore how the global pandemic was framed as a local event, providing a unique exploration of the dynamic involving public health communication, news media and the state. Thematic analysis (n ¼ 309) included the government-issued press releases disseminating public health information about H1N1 that were directly linked to news stories (n ¼ 56) and news stories about H1N1 generated by the newspaper (n ¼ 253). Four themes were found: (i) imported disease, (ii) war/battle metaphors, (iii) social responsibility and (iv) lockdown policies. Frame analysis revealed that the news coverage during the H1N1 pandemic reflected how the newspaper framed and mediated the information flow, amplified a positive tone for the government response, emphasized individual responsibility and utilized gain frames to construct local messages about the global H1N1 pandemic that reified Singapore as a nation-state.

“…I used a thematic analytic approach, which Simons et al (2008) describe as an inductive process resulting from the identification of categories from a critical review of the data, followed by careful comparison of those categories to enable commonalities to emerge. Gibson et al (2009) extended this definition to include additionally identifying relationships and differences within the data.…”
