Adaptation of a structured story-dialogue method for action research with social movement activists
Dialogue and story-telling are essential elements of many qualitative methodologies and action research itself, reflecting the constructivist paradigm in which qualitative research (QR) and action research (AR) are grounded, and the co-construction of knowledge that takes place amongst research participants (in group settings) and researchers. This paper reports on the adaptation of a structured story-dialogue method for research with social move…
Creating the socially marginalised youth smoker
We discuss how the tobacco control discourse on youth smoking in Canada appears to be producing and constituting socially marginalised smokers. We analyse material from a study on social inequalities in Canadian youth smoking. Individual interviews were conducted in 2007 and 2008 with tobacco control practitioners specialising in youth smoking prevention in British Columbia and Quebec. We found that the discourse on youth smoking is creating a se…
I’m a young student, I’m a girl … and for some reason they are hard on me for smoking
Despite considerable population declines, smoking has become increasingly socially stratified, a trend that emerges as salient when examining smoking according to gender. However, there is a dearth of comparative research with regard to smoking inequalities among men and women. The goal of this exploratory study was to examine how three elements of the social context (identity, body, agency) are gendered and the way in which they differentially s…
The missing picture’
Photographic methods have the potential to generate information that may assist in developing tobacco control messaging and programming that speaks to smokers' perceptions of their tobacco use
Becoming a 'real' smoker
This paper draws from a qualitative study of tobacco use by young women in Toronto, Canada. Narrative interviews were used to understand the multiple roles and functions of smoking within the everyday lives of female adolescents. Guided by a Bourdieusian theoretical framework this study employed the core construct of cultural capital in order to position tobacco and other substance use as field-specific capital that young women accumulate while n…

Knowledge development and evaluation in, of and for Healthy Community initiatives. Part II
In this second paper of a two-part series, several options for evaluation and knowledge development in, of and for Healthy Communities (HC) are reviewed, through an examination of the different bases upon which it might be structured. The dimensions reviewed include using the following as potential yardsticks for evaluation: (i) results of community visioning exercises; (ii) HC principles, concepts and strategies; (iii) barriers and facilitating …
Knowledge development and evaluation in, of and for Healthy Community initiatives. Part I
With over 375 participating communities worldwide, well-established networks in many parts of Europe, North America and Australia, and with initiatives in many developing countries, the Healthy Cities movement is widespread and, in many jurisdictions, continuing to expand. As the movement matures, interest in the evaluation of its successes and potential limitations has grown. But as yet there has been little systematic assessment of evaluation s…
Transcription Quality as an Aspect of Rigor in Qualitative Research
The importance of ensuring that interview or focus group transcripts are close to "verbatim" accounts of what transpired is widely acknowledged, but seems more often a tacit assumption than an empirically verified assertion. In fact, there appears to have been rather little discussion in the literature regarding the need to routinely review the quality of transcripts before undertaking the analysis of textual data in qualitative research. Establi…
