Men of Color Health Awareness intervention
Introduction: A randomized controlled trial (#NCT03745703) assessed the efficacy of a tailored stress reduction intervention (Men of Color Health Awareness; MOCHA) aimed at improving the health of middle-aged African-American men. The present paper presents an exploratory study of whether the intervention affected chronic output of the stress hormone cortisol using the novel approach of measuring cortisol accumulation in fingernail samples. Each …
Sinking into the unthinkable
Purpose We aim to show how extreme fiction can be used to study possible future extreme events, allowing researchers to get “up close” to potentially dangerous settings. Design/methodology/approach How can research help to understand a world that has become more unpredictable and dangerous? We assess the use of fiction as research material and explore dramatized movie accounts of possible future accidents, crises and disasters through “extreme fi…
Mocha Moving Forward
Despite retention challenges, findings suggest MOCHA is a promising intervention for stress and chronic disease risk reduction among men of color. The significant outcomes observed among completers highlight the program's potential and provide critical insights for improving the feasibility of future community-based interventions. Future research should explore scalable adaptations and further refine MOCHA's culturally tailored content to better …

Prevalence and Correlates of Cannabis Use in Massachusetts after Cannabis Legalization and before Retail Sales
We determined the prevalence and correlates of cannabis use in Massachusetts after recreational use was passed, but before recreational cannabis stores opened. A cross-sectional, population-based survey of Massachusetts adults, age 18 years or older, (n = 3,022) was conducted in November-December, 2017. We estimated population-level prevalence and correlates of past 30-day cannabis use. 21.1% [95% CI: 18.6, 23.6] of Massachusetts adults reported …
The Migration of Experts and Savoir-faire
This article focuses on the practice of French cuisine in Shanghai and questions the permanence of this professional niche. It combines an anthropological approach to culinary techniques with a sociological approach to workforce migration, tracing the ways in which the discourse and practices of chefs and maîtres d’hôtel working in French cuisine’s restaurants employ forms of ethnocultural and technical legitimacy. The case of Shanghai, a city un…
Delays in antiretroviral therapy initiation among HIV-positive individuals
BACKGROUND: Lack of early initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains a major health concern due to increased risk of premature mortality and further HIV transmission. This study explored CD4+ cell count monitoring in relation to delays in ART initiation among HIV-positive individuals in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, where ART coverage was only 23.7% in 2011. DESIGN: We recruited a total of 87 ART-naïve, HIV-positive individuals aged 18 to …
Extreme work, gendered work? How extreme jobs and the discourse of ‘personal choice’ perpetuate gender inequality
This review sets extreme jobs in the context of the institutional, occupational, organizational and individual drivers of long hours and work intensification and identifies the consequences for gender equality, human sustainability and long-term productivity. We suggest that extreme jobs derive not from the ‘nature’ of managerial and professional work but from working practices and occupational discourses which have developed to suit the gendered…

Great Scott!? Popular Memory and Modern Identity
Ann Rigney's Afterlives of Walter Scott is a valuable extension of recent scholarship on the role of Scott's fiction in the development of the nation state and modernity, combining memory studies, book history and literary criticism to address the historical, popular and contemporary impact of his works and celebrity on modern life.1Rigney explores the Waverley novels in particular as points of reference for the production of cultural memory and …
The role of community advisory boards in health research
In the light of the growing involvement of community advisory boards (CABs) in health research, this study presents empirical findings of the functions and operations of CABs in HIV/AIDS vaccine trials in South Africa. The individual and focus group interviews with CAB members, principal investigators, research staff, community educators, recruiters, ethics committee members, trial participants and South African AIDS Vaccine Initiative (SAAVI) st…
Effect of a Housing and Case Management Program on Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations Among Chronically Ill Homeless Adults
CONTEXT: Homeless adults, especially those with chronic medical illnesses, are frequent users of costly medical services, especially emergency department and hospital services. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of a case management and housing program in reducing use of urgent medical services among homeless adults with chronic medical illnesses. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Randomized controlled trial conducted at a public teaching ho…
The Health Impact of Supportive Housing for HIV-Positive Homeless Patients
Objectives. We assessed the health impact of a housing and case management program, the Chicago Housing for Health Partnership, for homeless people with HIV. Methods. HIV-positive homeless inpatients at a public hospital (n = 105) were randomized to usual care or permanent housing with intensive case management. The primary outcome was survival with intact immunity, defined as CD4 count ≥ 200 and viral load Results. Outcomes were available for 94…
Autonomy, Paternalism, and Justice
With attention to the field of public health ethics growing, significant time has been devoted to identifying a sound ethical justification for paternalistic interventions that override individual autonomy to prevent people from adopting unhealthy behaviors. Efforts focused on specifying the conditions that warrant paternalism, however, are largely misplaced. On empirical and ethical grounds, public health should seek instead to expand individual…
Ethical Issues in Community-Based Participatory Research
Growing use of CBPR raises two new ethical issues that deserve greater public attention: first, the problem of securing informed consent and demonstrating respect for community autonomy when the locus of research shifts from the individual to community level; and second, fair distribution of scarce public resources when practical constraints make the most rigorous research designs for assessing the effects of community interventions virtually imp…
Nobody in charge
This article illustrates how distributed change agency can implement complex organizational changes in the absence of formal management plans, roles, and structures. Distributed change agency typically involves small teams and senior groups. In this qualitative study of service improvements in the treatment of prostate cancer at an acute hospital, Grange, change roles were distributed more widely, with responsibilities `migrating' among a large i…
Research into Practice’
English Traditional modes of researching health service practice and policy have been criticised in terms of timeliness and relevance by potential users, and of poor uptake by researchers themselves. Newer models, based on principles of collaboration and integration, are being used in some healthcare settings, and there is evidence that these approaches help to bridge the gap that exists between ‘research’ and ‘practice’. This article describes t…
The Effects of Respite Care for Homeless Patients
Objectives. Homeless individuals experience high rates of physical and mental illness, increased mortality, and frequent hospitalizations. Respite care provides homeless individuals with housing and services allowing more complete recovery from illnesses and stabilization of chronic conditions. Methods. We investigated respite care’s impact on 225 hospitalized homeless adults consecutively referred from an urban public hospital during a 26-month …
Justice and Fairness in the Kennedy Krieger Institute Lead Paint Study
The Kennedy Krieger lead paint study stirred controversial questions about whether research designed to develop less expensive interventions that are not as effective as existing treatments can be ethically warranted. Critics questioned the social value of such research and alleged that it sanctions a double standard, exploits participants, and is complicit in perpetuating the social injustice. In response, we demonstrate the propriety of conduct…
Moral reasoning as a model for health promotion
The way it really happened
Corporate narratives concerning technological change are often constructed around a linear event sequence that presents the organization in a positive light to internal and external observers. These narratives often sanitize the change process, and present data from which commentators can formulate neat linear prescriptions on how to implement new technology. In contrast, this article draws on processual-contextual theoretical perspectives to arg…
Learning from HIV and Aids
Demands, Instabilities, Manipulations, Careers
This article explores the lived experience of change drivers involved in a whole-hospital re-engineering programme. As these drivers were not a select management group, but included staff from all organization levels, this illustrates a `dispersed responsibility' model of change implementation. Other research suggests that many public and private sector organizations may similarly be blurring demarcations between change `drivers' and `driven'. Th…

Politics and Organizational Change
This paper explores the "lived experience" of organizational politics from the standpoint of the change agent. While political behavior appears inevitably to accompany organizational change, the literature of change management seems to adopt an ambivalent approach to this area. The literature of organizational politics, on the other hand, identifies power bases, and offers prescriptive lists of "power tactics" without explaining how these are dep…

Social marketing
This article provides a critical analysis of the growing use of social marketing in the field of health promotion. In response to a recent article by A. Hastings and G. Haywood (Health Promotion International, 6, 135–134), three questions are asked about each of the proposed tenets of social marketing: are these ideas new? are they more effective than current health promotion practices? and do they raise any particular ethical concerns? On each o…
Desanitizing Organizational Behaviour
When Two Worlds Collide
This paper outlines and discusses issues arising from a specific evaluation project. The project brief was to conduct a communications audit of a UK National Health Service trust hospital, focusing particularly upon the interface between junior doctors and other professional groups within the hospital. The experience of conducting the research and operating as management evaluators within a medical research environment is also discussed. The stag…

The Ethics and Efficacy of Behavior Change Research
ot surprisingly, given the American focus on individualism, the dominant health promotion paradigm in the United States has been a model, in which behavior change experts design interventions aimed at encouraging individuals to change personal behaviors that put them at increased risk of disability or disease. Recently, this emphasis on personal lifestyle choices has come under scrutiny. Some critics point out that attempts at risk reduction have…
