Abstract
Kitzinger C, Willmott J. ‘The thief of womanhood’: women’s experience of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Soc Sci Med2002 ; 54 : 349 –61 [OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] QUESTIONS: What are the experiences of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? How do they negotiate their identities as women? Exploratory qualitative design. United Kingdom. 30 women (mean age 29 y, 80% white) with PCOS recruited through a mailing to members of a national PCOS self help organisation. Indepth, semistructured, tape recorded interviews were conducted in the women’s homes and lasted 45–90 minutes. The interview schedule was broad based and wide ranging, and was designed to allow women to tell their own stories. The interview schedule had open ended questions with prompts and follow up questions. Data were transcribed using simple orthographic notation, and analysis relied on organising sections of the data into recurrent themes. PCOS was very important in the everyday lives of most participants. Many women talked about the frustration and anger they felt about delays in diagnosis, the lack of information provided by health … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DSocial%2Bscience%2B%2526%2Bmedicine%26rft.stitle%253DSoc%2BSci%2BMed%26rft.aulast%253DKitzinger%26rft.auinit1%253DC.%26rft.volume%253D54%26rft.issue%253D3%26rft.spage%253D349%26rft.epage%253D361%26rft.atitle%253D%2527The%2Bthief%2Bof%2Bwomanhood%2527%253A%2Bwomen%2527s%2Bexperience%2Bof%2Bpolycystic%2Bovarian%2Bsyndrome.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1016%252FS0277-9536%252801%252900034-X%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F11824912%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1016/S0277-9536(01)00034-X&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=11824912&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F6%2F1%2F30.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000173266800004&link_type=ISI

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
