‘I don’t know what we should have done differently’
Background In British Columbia, Canada, a public health emergency of unregulated drug deaths presents a fraught backdrop for concerned significant others (CSOs).Method Community-based Participatory Action Research design. We conducted 22 semi-structured qualitative interviews with CSOs about their perceptions and experiences during the toxic drug crisis. We examined how ‘tough love’ constructs informed their relationships with and responses to th…
Integrated Community Care 4All
In 2020, the Transnational Forum on Integrated Community Care (TransForm) published “Integrated Community Care 4All: New Principles for Care”. Therein, TransForm articulated a vision for Integrated Community Care (ICC), to engage and empower people in local communities to move beyond health and social care ‘delivery’ in favour of genuine ‘co-development’ with the individuals and communities that are traditionally seen as care recipients. TransFor…
Shared experience makes this all possible”
The principles identified in this study can be used by UTGSS staff as a guide for checking-in on progress with clients and may be considered as a model for reflection on practice by staff providing similar peer-led services. These principles should not be applied in a prescriptive way, as relationship building is at the centre of peer support, and different applications will be required depending on clients' goals and the range of supports availa…
Guiding Principles for Implementing Stepped Care in Mental Health
The Overdose Crisis and Using Alone
Background: A significant rise in the rate of overdose deaths in British Columbia (BC), driven by fentanyl contamination of the illicit drug supply, led to the declaration of a public health emergency in 2016. Those at greatest risk of death are people who use alone. This community-based participatory action research study based in the Fraser East region of BC study aimed to overview underlying factors that contribute to unwitnessed overdoses in …
Developmental evaluation during the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article, we explore experiences and learnings from adapting to challenges encountered in implementing three Developmental Evaluations (DE) in British Columbia, Canada within the evolving context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We situate our DE projects within our approach to the DE life cycle and describe challenges encountered and required adaptations in each phase of the life cycle. Regarding foundational aspects of DEs, we experienced chall…
Creating Effectiveness Principles for Principles-Focused Developmental Evaluations in Health-Care Initiatives
Principles-focused developmental evaluation is an emergent method of evaluation that is increasingly achieving relevance in initiatives seeking to transform health-care delivery within complex-adaptive systems. Creating meaningful effectiveness principles is considered a crucial first step in setting up such evaluations. In this article, we describe four practical steps that we applied in defining effectiveness principles to align with Patton’s G…

Alcohol, tobacco, obesity and the new public health
[Extract] Although drinking, smoking and obesity have long been a focus of social and moral opprobrium, during the last two decades of the twentieth century, they came under concerted attack from the field of knowledge and action that has come to be known as the new public health. Over the next two issues, Critical Public Health will feature a series of papers that critically examine public health policy and practice across these three areas. Emp…
What Women Who Use Drugs Have to Say about Ethical Research
Drug users are generally seen as a vulnerable population requiring special protection in research; however, to date there has been little empirical research into the ethics of research with illicit drug users. Moreover, the available research has tended to treat "drug users" as a homogeneous category, and has failed to consider potential gender differences in users' experiences. Drawing on focus groups with twenty-seven female drug users in Vanco…
Smoking, stigma and tobacco ‘denormalization’
Aboriginal mothering, Fasd prevention and the contestations of neoliberal citizenship
Over the past 25 years, Aboriginal leaders, community advocates, children's and women's health specialists and Canadian government agencies have drawn increasing attention to the perceived need to undertake targeted initiatives to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in indigenous communities. In pursuit of this goal, a range of prevention campaigns have been undertaken – generally with funding from the State – urging pregnant women to …
Every space is claimed
Over the past decade, the strategy of 'denormalising' tobacco use has become one of the cornerstones of the global tobacco control movement. Although tobacco denormalisation policies primarily affect people on the lowest rungs of the social ladder, few qualitative studies have explicitly set out to explore how smokers have experienced and responded to these legislative and social changes in attitudes towards tobacco use. Drawing on a qualitative …
Medicine, morality and mothering
Over the past few decades, three issues have emerged as threats to the health of infants and children in western, industrialised countries: the developmental impact of alcohol use in pregnancy (Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD), children's exposure to second-hand smoke in the home, and childhood overnutrition and obesity. The definitive role of drinking during pregnancy, exposure to second-hand smoke and overnutrition on negative health …
Pain, physical dependence and pseudoaddiction
Walking the Talk
In this article, the author explores the importance of participatory, respectful, and community-specific approaches to research relationships across differences in social location and experience. Drawing on transcripts from group interviews with 6 young Aboriginal mothers from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside who had experienced substance use during pregnancy and fetal alcohol syndrome/fetal alcohol effects, she discusses three practical strategies …
