“…We used a frame analysis method (Koenig, 2006) to explain how the participants described their social locations that result from intersecting social determinants. Researchers have used frame analysis as an interpretive move to explain how individuals understand social experiences and talk about them in terms of everyday schemes like beliefs, images or symbols (Britt & Evans, 2007; Irwin, 2015; Virkki et al, 2015). The important step in distinguishing frames is identifying the key or normative concern driving each contesting frame (Britt & Evans, 2007).…”

Background The disparate health outcomes of African-American mothers living with HIV are considerable. Multidimensional approaches are needed to address the complex social and economic conditions of their lives, collectively known as the social determinants of health. Objectives The purpose of this paper is to explore the social determinants of health for African-American mothers living with HIV by examining how mothers describe their social location at the intersection of gender-, race-, and class inequality; HIV-related stigma; and motherhood. How they frame the impact of their social location on their health experiences is explored. Methods This exploratory study included in-depth, semistructured interviews with 18 African-American mothers living with HIV at three time points. We used an intersectional framework and frame analysis to explore the meaning of these constructs for participants. Results Findings from 48 interviews include a description of the intersecting social determinants functioning as systems of inequality and the heterogeneous social locations. Three frames of social location were used to organize and explain the how African-American mothers living with HIV may understand their social determinants of health: (a) an emancipatory frame, marked by attempts to transcend the negative social connotations associated with HIV and socially constructed identities of race, gender, and class; (b) a maternal frame, marked by a desire to maintain a positive maternal identity and maternal-child relations; and (c) an internalized frame, marked by an emphasis on the deleterious and stigmatizing effects of HIV, racial-, gender-, and class inequality. Discussion The findings offer knowledge about the heterogeneity in how demographically similar individuals frame their social location as well as how the intersections of social determinants influence participant’s health experiences. Potential health implications and interventions are suggested for the three frames of social location used to describe intersecting social determinants of health. The paper offers an analytic approach for capturing the complexity inherent in intersectional methodologies examining the role of social determinants in producing health inequities.

“…The consequences are often traumatizing, marginalizing, and lingering. DV leads to mental and physical illnesses and human suffering, and bears significant costs for police, the judicial system, and the health care and social welfare service system (Campbell, 2002;Ellsberg, 2015; European Institute for Gender Equality, 2014; Husso et al, 2017a;Piispa & Heiskanen, 2000;Virkki et al, 2015;World Health Organization, 2013).…”

Social welfare service and health care providers are in a key position to implement successful domestic violence (DV) interventions. However, it is known that DV intervention and prevention work is often lacking in coordination and continuity. In addition, the limited resources, hectic work pace, and changing practices negatively affect the development of successful ways to prevent and intervene in DV. This qualitative study involving 11 focus groups, composed of social welfare and health care professionals ( n = 51) in a midsized Finnish hospital, examined the challenges and possibilities within DV interventions and the adoption of good practices produced by a DV intervention development project funded by the European Union (EU). The results show that short-term development projects, amid the pressure of limited time and resources, encounter serious challenges when applied to wicked and ignored problems, such as DV. Developing successful violence intervention practices requires a broad understanding of the challenges that rapid development projects present to professionals and social welfare service and health care practices at the organizational level. Hence, the implementation of good practices requires continuity in managerial and organizational support, distribution of information, documentation of DV, awareness raising, education, training, and agreement on basic tasks and responsibilities. Otherwise, the failure to continue development work derails the results of such work, and short project durations lead to unnecessary work and the need to reinvent temporary work practices time and again. Short-term interventions provide inefficient solutions to the problem of DV, and a built-in organizational structure can prevent the misuse of organizational and human resources.

“…At the second stage the themes were explored using frame analysis (Virkki et al, 2014), 222 exploring how the vets viewed the particular themes. To clarify the terminology used in this 223 study: themes are particular barriers, such as financial barriers or lack of time, and frames are 224 the ways in which these themes are discussed, or the angle that is put on them, for instance as 225 legitimate, illegitimate, within or outside the farmers' control etc.…”
