Examining the psychometric properties of a crisis recovery in psychosis (CRISP) measure
Background Psychotic crises are complex idiosyncratic experiences and there are no validated measures which examine the recovery from such experiences. The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically validate the crisis recovery in psychosis (CRISP) measure.Methods The 23-item CRISP was developed with people with lived experience, family/carers and clinicians. A longitudinal design was adopted with 80 participants completing the CRISP a…
More doctors, better health? A generalised synthetic control approach to estimating impacts of increasing doctors under Brazil's Mais Medicos programme
Worldwide, there are an insufficient number of primary care physicians to provide accessible, high-quality primary care services. Better knowledge on the health impacts of policies aimed at improving access to primary care physicians is important for informing future policies. Using a generalised synthetic control estimator (GSC), we estimate the effect of the increase in primary care physicians from the Programa Mais Médicos in Brazil. The GSC a…
Refusing to Pay Taxes: Loneliness, Conspiracy Theorizing, and Non-Normative Political Action
Conspiracy theorizing can motivate non-normative intentions (e.g., tax evasion and violence). However, less is known about the contributors of these conspiracy-inspired intentions or if they translate into behaviors. Two studies ( N = 1,155) found a positive correlation between loneliness and conspiracy theorizing, which in turn related to non-normative intentions. Study 3 ( n = 234) provided further evidence of these relationships through serial…
Pet cats (Felis catus) from urban boundaries use different habitats, have larger home ranges and kill more prey than cats from the suburbs
The domestic cat (Felis catus) is a predator of global significance. In Great Britain there are ca. 9.5 million owned pet cats, with their population determined by human population density. As urban areas expand and encroach on areas of conservation value, it is not known how cats use these areas and how habitat availability influences predation rates. To address this, over a year we recorded the movement and prey of 79 owned cats in inner suburb…
The role of citizen science in addressing plastic pollution: Challenges and opportunities
Globally, the number of citizen science clean-up projects, such as beach cleans, is increasing in an effort to reduce the amount of plastic pollution in the environment. Such activities offer the opportunity to gather insightful data on plastic abundance, distribution and composition. This information is key for informing effective management strategies aimed at reducing input but little work has been conducted to examine the challenges faced by …
Returning Home: The Experiences of Resettlement for Syrian-Armenian Refugees into Armenia
Engaging MSW Students in Faculty Research: Students’ Perspectives of Involvement in a Program Evaluation
Engaging social work students in research is challenging, in part, because of the way research is taught in the classroom and the need for learners to effectively develop connections between the “abstract world” of research concepts with the “real world” of professional experiences. This article describes the experiences of graduate social work students involved in a process and outcome evaluation of a community-based program. Analysis of student…

Discretionary activity and happiness: The role of materialism
Leveraging Social Capital Among Organizations to Secure Employment for Welfare Clients
This article presents the use of social capital to find solutions to multiple barriers of vulnerable populations seeking employment. A description of the Working to Unite Families Project (WtUF) illustrates how an infrastructure committee (IC) leveraged social capital to increase employability of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) participants. The authors analyze qualitative data from 25 respondents to study the use of social capi…
