Barriers to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Implementation in Jails and Postincarceration Community Settings
Embedded within a larger randomized controlled trial assessing implementation strategies for delivering medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in jails and during transition to community treatment, this article focuses on barriers to MOUD. Twenty-three qualitative interviews representing 19 organizations were conducted to understand these barriers. The three that surfaced as most pertinent are: policy, organizational structure, and stigma rel…
Test of an organizational change model to reduce no‐shows in dental care settings
The study demonstrated the feasibility of applying the NIATx model to reduce no-show rates, with some difficulty observed with sustainability across dental practices during the postintervention period
Barriers to Buprenorphine Expansion in Ohio
Buprenorphine partial opioid agonist pharmacotherapy, a key treatment for opioid use disorders (OUDs), is underutilized in the United States. Qualitative interviews, conducted in 2012/2013 and repeated in 2015, identified systemic barriers to providing buprenorphine treatment in Ohio. A representative sample of Ohio's Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) county boards ( n = 18) was selected based on percentage of OUD admissions…
Planning for Ancillary Care Provision
As part of a study designed to assess a new strategy for increasing health research participation by members of underrepresented populations in the United States, we explored expectations about volunteering for research among people from lower income and largely minority communities in Madison, Wisconsin. Members of these communities often saw research participation as a means to access health care that might otherwise be unavailable to them. In …
Developing a guide to support the knowledge translation component of the grant application process
Research funding agencies often expect that grant applications include a knowledge translation (KT) plan but many applicants and reviewers are without any clear idea of how to develop or assess such a plan. This paper arises from the development of a guide to support the KT component of the research grant application process. The authors reflect on some of the controversial issues related to KT definitions and scope that they struggled with as th…
A taxonomy of dignity
BACKGROUND: This paper has its origins in Jonathan Mann's insight that the experience of dignity may explain the reciprocal relationships between health and human rights. It follows his call for a taxonomy of dignity: "a coherent vocabulary and framework to characterize dignity." METHODS: Grounded theory procedures were use to analyze literature pertaining to dignity and to conduct and analyze 64 semi-structured interviews with persons marginaliz…
Dignity Violation in Health Care
In this grounded theory analysis I sought to understand dignity violation in health care and to explore the context in which such violations take place. I found that dignity violation in health care occurs through processes of rudeness, indifference, condescension, dismissal, disregard, dependence, intrusion, objectification, restriction, labeling, contempt, discrimination, revulsion, deprivation, assault, and abjection. The conditions that promo…
Developing Theory From Complexity
Research studies are increasingly complex: They draw on multiple methods to gather data, generate both qualitative and quantitative data, and frequently represent the perspectives of more than one stakeholder. The teams that generate them are increasingly multidisciplinary. A commitment to engaging community members in the research process often adds a further layer of complexity. How to approach a synthesizing analysis of these multiple and vari…
An urban geography of dignity
Reciprocity
Ethical issues have been of ongoing interest in discussions of community-based participatory action research (CBPAR). In this article we suggest that the notion of reciprocity — defined as an ongoing process of exchange with the aim of establishing and maintaining equality between parties — can provide a guide to the ethical practice of CBPAR. Through sharing our experiences with a CBPAR project focused on mental health services and supports in s…
Politiques et pratiques en santé mentale. Comment intégrer le concept du rétablissement
Avec la publication du Plan d’action en santé mentale 2005-2010 , le Québec entend développer un système axé sur le concept de rétablissement. Cet article brosse à l’intention des planificateurs du Québec et d’ailleurs un tableau des questions relatives à l’implantation de ce concept. On y passe en revue des exemples de lignes directrices pour le système, des modèles de programme, les compétences des praticiens, et des instruments de mesure conçu…

Inspiring Knowledge Mobilization Through a Communications Policy
Taking Culture Seriously in Community Mental Health is a community-based participatory action research project in Ontario devoted to developing, pilot testing, and evaluating mental health service models grounded in the concept of "cultural empowerment." To ensure that the knowledge generated in the project is shared and used, the research collaborative places a heavy emphasis on communicating with stakeholder groups. This paper provides an overv…
Social Epistemology
Knowledge transfer and exchange has become an increasingly important practice in the arena of publicly funded health and social research. Throughout its history, investigators have used a variety of borrowed theories to explore and explain the determinants, processes, and results of knowledge transfer. As the context in which knowledge transfer takes place has changed, so too has the theory used to explore and explain the process. This article re…
Credibility and credibility work in knowledge transfer
English This study explores the dimensions and attributes of credibility in knowledge transfer. It finds that there are four dimensions: ‘scientific credibility’, expertise, authority and stance. Credibility is characterised by several attributes: it is transferable; it is context-dependent; and it is subject to constant assessment. The notion of ‘credibility work’ describes the ways in which credibility in knowledge transfer is not an inherent o…
Organizational Factors that Influence University-Based Researchers’ Engagement in Knowledge Transfer Activities
Knowledge transfer has become a priority for universities and other publicly funded research institutions. However, researchers working in these settings report certain structural barriers to engaging in knowledge translation activities. This article describes these barriers, situating them in the disjunction between current expectations and the historical tradition of disciplinary authority in academia. The authors review some of the organizatio…
Defining Recovery
The author examines how, as part of a reform of Wisconsin's public mental health system, a workgroup of system stakeholders defined and operationalized the concept of recovery. Based on participant observation, document analysis, and interviews, with an analytic framework drawn from symbolic interactionism, the author finds that although individual members held a range of definitions of recovery, the workgroup was able to reach consensus in its p…
Improving Primary Care for Persons with Disabilities
It has been well documented that persons with disabilities (PWDs) have a more vulnerable health status than persons without disabilities; yet, they often receive inadequate primary care within the US health care system. This study explores how PWDs think about the health care they receive, particularly how primary care providers facilitate or hinder quality care for PWDs. The findings from this study expand the concept of expertise in health care…
What Is Recovery? A Conceptual Model and Explication
This paper describes a conceptual model of recovery from mental illness developed to aid the state of Wisconsin in moving toward its goal of developing a "recovery-oriented" mental health system. In the model, recovery refers to both internal conditions experienced by persons who describe themselves as being in recovery--hope, healing, empowerment, and connection--and external conditions that facilitate recovery--implementation of the principle o…
Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is big business. With demand rising, this commercial medical practice has become a modern body custom. To explain the emergence and growth of this demand, Deborah A. Sullivan looks beyond the cultural imperatives of appearance and examines the market dynamics inherent in the business and politics of cosmetic surgery. In so doing, she also considers the effect of commercialization on the medical profession. After reviewing prevail…
Cleavage
Women's breasts have been idealized as symbols of femininity and motherhood. They have held great social and psychological significance as objects drawing intrusive gazes, and as images of self worth to be measured against an idealized form. It is no wonder, then, that a technology emerged to alter and enhance their appearance. Nora Jacobson traces the hundred-year history of one such technology: breast implants. Organized both chronologically an…
When Men Batter Women
Battering and the male rejection of influence from women
The propensity of men to reject influence from women and individual differences in this tendency were examined in the present report as potentially related to two types of domestically violent men. We operationalized rejection of influence in sequential analyses of emotional behavior during a 15 min marital interaction. In our previous research, we identified two types of batterers: Type-1, whose heart rates decelerated below baseline during the …
