The Moral Foundations of Child Health and Social Policies
Foundational understanding of the moral language and dominant policy frames applied to children can enrich analyses of social policies for children. Most societies paint children as potent, vulnerable, entitled, and embedded. It is the admixture of these elements in particular policy spheres, across distinct places and times, that often determines the form of a given policy and societal reactions to it. Subsequent work in this area will need to d…
The problem is small enough, the problem is big enough’
Current approaches to health technology assessment are not well calibrated to the realities of child health and illness. Our study presents a nuanced and contextually grounded analysis of concepts instrumental to drug funding decisions for children. The insights generated are directly applicable to the Canadian and Ontario contexts, but also yield fundamental knowledge about HTA for children that are germane to drug policy in other health systems
Finding Qualitative Research Evidence for Health Technology Assessment
Health technology assessment (HTA) agencies increasingly use reviews of qualitative research as evidence for evaluating social, experiential, and ethical aspects of health technologies. We systematically searched three bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Social Science Citation Index [SSCI]) using published search filters or "hedges" and our hybrid filter to identify qualitative research studies pertaining to chronic obstructive pulmona…
Citizen expectations of ‘academic entrepreneurship’ in health research
BACKGROUND: Responsiveness to citizens as users of technological innovation helps motivate translational research and commercial engagement among academics. Yet, retaining citizen trust and support for research encourages caution in pursuit of commercial science. OBJECTIVES: We explore citizen expectations of the specifically academic nature of commercial science [i.e. academic entrepreneurship (AE)] and the influence of conflict of interest conc…
Women's Experiences of Publicly Funded Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing in Ontario, Canada
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) via fetal DNA in maternal blood has been publicly funded in Ontario, Canada, for high-risk women since 2014. We solicited women's experiences and values related to this new health technology to describe how this test is currently being used in Ontario and to provide information about patient priorities to inform future policy decisions about the use of NIPT. Guided by constructivist grounded theory methodology…
Conceptualizing the use of public involvement in health policy decision-making
Fair reckoning
Objective To investigate how participants in an economic resource allocation survey construct notions of fairness. Design Qualitative interview study guided by interpretive grounded theory methods. Setting and participants Qualitative interviews were conducted with volunteer university‐ ( n = 39) and community‐based ( n = 7) economic survey participants. Intervention or main variables studied We explored how participants constructed meanings to g…

Research use in children's mental health policy in Canada
Users' Guides to the Medical Literature
Quantitative research is designed to test well-specified hypotheses, determine whether an intervention did more harm than good, and find out how much a risk factor predisposes persons to disease. Equally important, qualitative research offers insight into emotional and experiential phenomena in health care to determine what, how, and why. There are 4 essential aspects of qualitative analysis. First, the participant selection must be well reasoned…
The many meanings of deinsuring a health service
Towards a ``Good'' Death
Beyond “financial incentives”
The 1994 introduction of midwifery as a publicly paid service in Ontario created new incentives in the health‐care system. Traditional economic models of financial incentives explain stakeholder responses in terms of the pursuit of financial gains and avoidance of financial losses. To explore and explain more social and political responses by stakeholders, we conducted a qualitative case study. We applied an alternative model of financial incenti…
A change of heart and a change of mind? Technology and the redefinition of death in 1968
Gender Bias in Human Anatomy Textbook Illustrations
The hypothesis that female and male bodies are equally represented in human anatomy text illustrations was tested to determine whether medical students are shown both females and males as possessing equally important and normal bodies in medical school instructional material. All anatomy texts currently in use in a major western medical school (N = 8) were surveyed. In text sections dealing with standard (non-gender-specific) anatomy, male subjec…
