Developing a Critical Imagination for How Researchers can use Artificially Intelligent Tools Reflexively and Responsibly During Qualitative Literature Reviews
Artificially intelligent (AI) tools hold significant potential for researchers during the processes of qualitative literature review. Beyond only literature retrieval, some AI tools describe their use-value as being able to appraise and synthesise contrasting evidence within and across papers; work like ‘Spotify’ to cultivate a personalised ecosystem of research articles that evolves via algorithmic learning; and suggest new directions for resear…
Becoming a 'Bricoleur' - Using a Holistic Bricolage Approach to Explore Breast Cancer Candidacy
Bricolage is a 'critical, multi-perspective, multi-modal and multi-theoretical' (Rogers, 2012, p.1) research approach to exploring complex phenomena. Levi-Strauss (1966) suggests it requires the researcher ('bricoleur') to use creativity and 'wild thinking.' The approach develops a repertoire of skills and knowledge that enable bespoke, fit-for-purpose data collection, analysis, and theorisation; combining these to innovate understandings of comp…
Thirsty? Choose Water! A regional perspective to promoting water consumption in secondary school students
Objective: Adolescents are high consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), which contribute to overweight and obesity – a significant public health issue. Evidence suggests that replacing SSB with water and school-based interventions can reduce consumption. This study examines the acceptability of a previously trialled intervention (Thirsty? Choose Water!) in regional and remote secondary schools. Design: An open-label randomised controlled tr…
Extending the sociology of candidacy
Alcohol is a modifiable breast cancer risk, increasing risk in a dose-dependent manner. Mid-life women (aged 45-64 years) consume alcohol at higher rates than younger women and this, combined with age, make them a high-risk group for breast cancer. This critical public health problem has a seemingly obvious solution (reduce drinking); however, women do not necessarily know alcohol causes breast cancer, and if they do, reducing consumption is not …
‘I have a healthy relationship with alcohol’
Alcohol consumption by Australian women during midlife has been increasing. Health promotion efforts to reduce alcohol consumption in order to reduce alcohol-related disease risk compete with the social contexts and value of alcohol in women’s lives. This paper draws on 50 qualitative interviews with midlife women (45–64 years of age) from different social classes living in South Australia in order to gain an understanding of how and why women mi…
How does social class shape women's alcohol stockpiling during Covid-19
Description
Place of alcohol in the 'wellness toolkits' of midlife women in different social classes
In this article, we explore how women in different social classes had differential access to resources and services to enhance their 'wellness'-resulting in classed roles in alcohol consumption. We analyse data from a qualitative study on alcohol by midlife women in South Australia and employ the analogy of a 'toolkit' in order to understand the structural patterning of 'wellness tools'. Bourdieu's relational model of class guides our exploration…
How Are the Links between Alcohol Consumption and Breast Cancer Portrayed in Australian Newspapers
We explore the representations of the alcohol and breast cancer risk relationship. We found their portrayal to be conflicting and unbalanced at times and tended to emphasise individual choice and responsibility in modifying health behaviours. We argue that key stakeholders including government, public health, and media should accept shared responsibility for increasing awareness of the alcohol-breast cancer link and invite media advocates to assi…
Help-Seeking from a National Youth Helpline in Australia
Counselling helplines or hotlines are key support services for young people with mental health concerns or in suicide and self-harm crises. We aimed to describe young peoples' use of a national youth helpline (Kids Helpline, Australia, KHL) to understand how usage changed over time. A descriptive analysis was conducted on 1,415,228 answered contacts between 2012-2018. We described the trend of service usage over the observed period, the types of …
Revisiting Candidacy
The notion of candidacy emerged three decades ago through Davison and colleagues' exploration of people's understanding of the causes of coronary heart disease. Candidacy was a mechanism to estimate one's own or others risk of disease informed by their lay epidemiology. It could predict who would develop illness or explain why someone succumbed to it. Candidacy's predictive ability, however, was fallible, and it was from this perspective that the…
The Experiences of Youth Mental Health Peer Workers over Time
Thirsty? Choose Water! Behavioural interventions and water stations in secondary schools a two-by-two factorial randomised controlled trial
Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Register ACTRN12618000526279 April 2018
Creating pathways to participation
Pathways to Prevention is a developmental prevention project focused on the transition to school in a disadvantaged multicultural urban area in Queensland. The project incorporates two elements: The Preschool Intervention Program (PIP) promotes communication and social skills related to school success; and the Family Independence Program (FIP) (parent training, facilitated playgroups, support groups, etc) promotes family capacity to foster child …
