Relational Community-Based Individualized Support for Youth Who Have Experienced Homelessness
This article describes the challenges and issues associated with providing meaningful individualized support for youth who have experienced homelessness through the lens of a not-for-profit supportive employment and housing program provider based in a tourist town in Canada. This article challenges common atomistic approaches to individual support that fail to recognize the importance of the community in which they are provided and tend to underp…

Assessing Smoke-Free Housing Implementation Approaches to Inform Best Practices
Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure causes chronic illness and occurs at a higher prevalence in low-income communities than the general public. In 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) instituted a smoke-free housing rule for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to address persistent health inequities. However, the success of smoke-free housing requires evidence to inform effective implementation approaches. A mixed-methods, c…
How Are We Doing with Open Education Practice Initiatives? Applying an Institutional Self-Assessment Tool in Five Higher Education Institutions
This collaborative self-study examines how five higher education institutions in British Columbia (BC), Canada, have achieved momentum with openness and are implementing and sustaining their efforts. A goal of this research was to see whether an institutional self-assessment tool—adapted from blended learning and institutional transformation research—can help to assess how an institution has progressed with its open education initiatives. By adop…
Implementing harm reduction in non-urban communities affected by opioids and polysubstance use
MCR
Sharing individualized results with health study participants, a practice we and others refer to as "report-back," ensures participant access to exposure and health information and may promote health equity. However, the practice of report-back and the content shared is often limited by the time-intensive process of personalizing reports. Software tools that automate creation of individualized reports have been built for specific studies, but are…

Associations Between Public Housing Residency and Health Behaviors in a Cross-Sectional Sample of Boston Adults
This study aims to provide improved estimates of the association between public housing development (PHD) residency and health behavior outcomes, accounting for sources of confounding frequently overlooked in prior research. We combined novel data from two health surveys fielded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2015–2016. We fit a propensity score model of PHD residency to generate inverse probability of treatment weights, which work to synthesize as…
Patterns, contexts, and motivations for polysubstance use among people who inject drugs in non-urban settings in the U.S. Northeast

Strategies used by people who inject drugs to avoid stigma in healthcare settings
A missing perspective
The efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been established among people who inject drugs (PWID). HIV uninfected, at risk PWID, could likely benefit from long-acting injectable formulations of PrEP ("LAI-PrEP"); however, its acceptability in this population has not been previously documented. Thirty-three HIV-uninfected PWID in the U.S. Northeast completed an in-depth interview regarding perceived acceptability of LAI-…

Minding the gap
Religious Attendance and Happiness
Two major gaps exist in research examining the positive association between religious attendance and happiness. First, scholars have argued that this association may be because of people's perceived relationship with God or the social cohesion one experiences with other parishioners, but scholars have not studied both pathways simultaneously. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data (General Social Survey), I first examine the influen…
Meaningful Performances
This article highlights the contributions of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach to both understanding and researching family. With its interest in the performative nature of human interaction and the active construction of social reality, the dramaturgical perspective is particularly well‐suited to study a dynamic social institution like the family. This article offers a brief introduction to the dramaturgical study of family by addressing i…
Clipping and Coding Audio Files
Qualitative researchers have long used ethnographic methods to make sense of complex human activities and experiences. Their blessing is that through them, researchers can collect a wealth of raw data. Their challenge is that they require the researcher to find patterns and organize the various themes and concepts that emerge during the analysis stage into a coherent narrative that a reader can follow. In this article, the authors introduce a tec…
