Qualitative study of patients’ decisions to initiate injectable depot buprenorphine for opioid use disorder
Background Depot buprenorphine can potentially address many limitations of other forms of opioid replacement therapy (ORT). This paper builds upon the concept of the ‘informed patient’ to explore individuals’ decisions to initiate injectable depot buprenorphine.Methods Data derive from a qualitative study of 26 people with opioid use disorder who were recruited from drug treatment services in England and Wales and interviewed within 72 hours of s…
Inequity in clinical research access for service users presenting comorbidity within alcohol treatment settings
A combination of individual, organisational and structural barriers, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the socioeconomic landscape in which the study was conducted further contributed to the unequal access of under-served groups to clinical research participation. For patients with comorbid alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related liver disease, limited access to research further contributes towards a gap in effective evidence-based treat…
Matters-of-concern’ associated with discontinuation of long-acting injectable buprenorphine
Non-Prescribed Substance Use during the First Month of Treatment by People Receiving Depot Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder
Background: Non-prescribed substance use (NPSU) during the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) is a recognized phenomenon. The use of non-prescribed substances is associated with discontinuing treatment and drop-out can occur within the early weeks of treatment, before benefit from treatment occurs. Recent developments in treatment include long-acting, slow-release depot buprenorphine injections. This article focuses on NPSU during the first m…
Conceptualising retention in treatment with long-acting injectable buprenorphine (for opioid use disorder) as a journey
Retention in treatment for OUD with LAIB, for at least 12-months, can be conceptualised as a journey. This conceptualisation emphasises the benefits (and challenges) clinicians and patients may expect to encounter during the first year of a LAIB treatment programme. An added implication of conceptualising LAIB treatment in this manner is that optimal benefits of the medication (as observed by participants) began to emerge during 'months 7-12' of …
A rapid assessment of take-home naloxone provision during Covid-19 in Europe
Through programme innovation supported by public guidelines, many European THN programmes managed to ensure stable or even increased THN provision during the pandemic, despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders affecting client mobility
Substance use and homelessness
Findings indicate that various interventions and accommodation models may benefit people who are homeless and using substances. An initiative that combined shelter and basic amenities, pharmacological treatment, psychosocial support, and space where substances were not available and other people using substances could be avoided resulted in an overall reduction in substance use amongst those accommodated
Rethinking ‘carriage’ of take-home naloxone
A qualitative study of repeat naloxone administrations during opioid overdose intervention by people who use opioids in New York City
Team ethnography visual maps
Team ethnography is becoming more popular in research. However, there is currently limited understanding of how multiple ethnographers working together actually share their experiences of conducting team ethnography. There is also an associated lack of explanation regarding how evidence and conclusions are drawn from such collective endeavour. This article attempts to address this absence of detail regarding the practice and conduct of team ethno…
Opioid overdose reversals using naloxone in New York City by people who use opioids
A Florentine merchant’s visit to Canterbury Cathedral in 1444
The article presents a hitherto unpublished text in Italian narrating a voyage to England and Flanders on board a galley undertaken in November 1444 by the Florentine merchant Mariano Ughi, which forms part of a quadernetto or ledger currently in an Italian private collection. The ledger is divided into two parts: the first contains accounts and information on Ughi’s business activity and network of contacts among the Florentine community of trad…
Wild data
Patient-centred care has become the touchstone of healthcare policy in developed healthcare systems. The ensuing commodification of patients' experiences has resulted in a mass of data but little sense of whether and how such data are used. We sought to understand how front-line staff use patient experience data for quality improvement in the National Health Service (NHS). We conducted a 12-month ethnographic case study evaluation of improvement …

An Applied Visual Sociology
Exploring the value of photography and video as legitimate forms of social enquiry, An Applied Visual Sociology: Picturing Harm Reduction constitutes a guidebook for conducting applied visual sociology within health related or social science research projects, providing a full account of the visual research journey and presenting a tested template for conducting theoretically-driven, sociologically-informed research. Against the background of the…
Observant participation with people who inject drugs in street-based settings
This empirically informed ‘opinion paper’ reflects upon the use of observant participant as a qualitative research method during an applied, multilocal, ethnographic study of street-based injecting drug use (conducted throughout the south of England during 2006–2011). Throughout these studies, participant observation took place with frontline service personnel and observant participation occurred with people who inject drugs. As participant obser…

Colliding intervention in the spatial management of street-based injecting and drug-related litter within settings of public convenience (UK)
This paper considers the structural production and amplification of tensions surrounding the issue of street-based injecting drug use and drug-related litter (injecting paraphernalia) discarded in public settings. These tensions, it is argued, is a consequence of colliding intervention (policy and practice) brought about by conflicting connections between national/local drug strategy and micro-level forms of governance regarding the spatial manag…
Habitus and Drug Using Environments
Informed by the thought of Pierre Bourdieu and framed by the philosophy of harm reduction, Habitus and Drug Using Environments provides a sociological analysis of public environments affected by injecting drug use. Drawing on ethnographic research across several locations, this book offers a qualitative and phenomenological account of the social organisation of public settings used for the preparation and administration of illicit drugs, informed…

Abingdon : Routledge . 2012. £80 (hbk ) xi + 214 pp. ISBN : 978-0-415-67133-0 Although crack cocaine is a drug that may be traced back to mid-1970s America, it did not begin to emerge in British settings until a decade later – and it was the mid-1990s before the drug began to equal (and subsequently overtake) the estimated prevalence of heroin use throughout the …
Public injecting drug use and the social production of harmful practice in high-rise tower blocks (London, UK)
Injecting drug user views (and experiences) of drug-related litter bins in public places
Generalizing Applied Qualitative Research on Harm Reduction
The small sample sizes and context-bound findings of qualitative research are commonly viewed as significant factors that limit its use (or “transferability”) in settings other than those in which the research was originally conducted. This perceived limitation is of particular importance in a field such as harm reduction where small sample sizes may be the only realistic option for studying the behavior of hard to reach groups. In this article w…
Fluorescent blue lights, injecting drug use and related health risk in public conveniences
Public injecting and symbolic violence
The concept of symbolic violence as developed by Pierre Bourdieu concerns the way in which social and cultural control is tacitly maintained by the dominating and the dominated within a given milieu. This article considers Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence in the context of public injecting environments in an urban location in the South West of England. Specifically, symbolic violence was considered to be present in the policies and practice…
The policy work of piloting
Value in the Visual
This paper concerns the application of visual methods within qualitative research and the ways in which they can be developed and applied to a range of settings for applied health (and other policy) purposes. Traditionally visual methods have been used as adjunct means to record data and representations of individuals, groups and cultures. Having emerged from a research tradition deeply rooted within the field of social/cultural anthropology they…
