  • Exploring the use of mobile-device-based audio diaries for asynchronous data collection with nurses during a pandemic

    Open AccessE A Marshall, Harriet Okatch et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2025

    During pandemics, physical distancing requirements and health care workers’ extended and irregular work hours may exclude many health care workers from studies using typical qualitative data collection methods.

    Open AccessMargaret Cherney, Sarabeth Erdman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Lead poisoning is a preventable condition that continues to affect thousands of children each year. Given that local governments and municipalities are eligible to apply for federal funds to perform lead remediation in low-income family homes, we sought to understand how lead poisoning knowledge levels may affect the uptake of these funds. We recruited and conducted 28 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with community members from Lancaster Cou…

  • Readability levels and thematic content analysis of online and printed lead poisoning informational materials

Multiple objective and subjective measures of adherence were available and study participants were selected based on sustained patterns of either excellent or poor…

    Open AccessKerstin Andrae-Marobela, Harriet Okatch et al.ARTICLEAlterNative An International…2012Referências: 15

    Indigenous knowledge (IK) has become a popular subject in the last decade. IK has been recognized by global institutions as a valuable source for scientific innovation and significant in promoting development for poorer communities. However, little attention has been paid to how communities themselves particularly conceptualize IK and how they situate this knowledge in everyday life context. This paper summarizes perceptions of IK from 20 rural c…
