Article Synopsis
  • Patients with brain tumors want to help doctors understand their illness better by participating in tests that involve taking samples of their tumor tissue.
  • To improve treatments, everyone including patients, researchers, and regulatory agencies need to work together and use consistent methods when taking these samples.
  • Even though new tests using blood samples show some promise, they can't replace the need for the usual tissue tests just yet, and it's important to clearly explain the risks and benefits of these procedures to patients.

Social constructions of men towards the availability of a male hormonal contraceptive, the 'male pill', were explored. A qualitative approach applying semi-structured interviews and scenarios with 22 men (mean age 35 years) from the North East of England revealed two core constructs and six sub-constructs using a Thematic-Construct Analysis in line with the method of Toerien and Wilkinson and Clarke and Kitzinger. Verbal accounts were inductively used to balance the deductively created two core constructs 'Constructing the male pill norm: dominant system of sensemaking' and 'Living by the male pill norm' to represent a normative framework within a changing ideology of shared responsibility in contraceptive choice.
