An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and Comparison of the Narratives of Early- and Late-Onset Problem Drinkers in Recovery
As a reaction to late-life events (e.g., bereavement, retirement) and feelings of meaninglessness and purposelessness, one-third of older problem drinkers only start to consume alcohol excessively later in life. Referred to as late-onset, limited research has been undertaken on this distinct cohort of older problem drinkers from the perspective of recovery generally, and more specifically, in the context of recovery capital (RC). Framed within Vi…
A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of the Retrospective “Active Drinking Voices” of Two Types of Older Problem Drinkers, Now in Recovery
One-third of older problem drinkers are late-onset. So called, because their problem drinking emerges later in life, however, little is known about the epidemiology of the population's drinking behaviors. By identifying the psychosocial risk factors that inform the adverse changes in the group's drinking behavior, the article aims to contribute to a better understanding of why this subgroup of older individuals begin drinking problematically in l…
Making It Easier to Live, You Know?” A Qualitative Study of the Impact of Hoarding Behaviours and Social Networks on Older People’s Supported Housing Decisions
The decision to move from independent to supported housing is a key life decision. Research focusing on the potential barriers to transition to supported housing for people with hoarding behaviours and the impact of social networks on the decision‐making process is scarce. 16 participants, including 4 participants with hoarding behaviours, took part in in‐depth semistructured interviews providing information about their social networks, support r…
Recipient perspectives on the impact of home adaptations in later life in England
The ability for adults to make changes to their home environments as they age to better suit their needs is of increasing importance. It is crucial that the full gamut of impacts from adaptations is understood in order to facilitate comprehensive evaluations which can fully capture their utility. Most previous studies in the field have used a quantitative methodology. Drawing on qualitative interviews, with some informed by wearable camera data, …
Using computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (Caqdas; NVivo) to assist in the complex process of realist theory generation, refinement and testing
There have been several calls for more transparency in realist methods, particularly in the complex process of programme theory development and refinement. This paper will describe the way in which Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software, specifically, NUD*IST Vivo (NVivo), was used to build and refine programme theories (using literature and interview data) in a realist evaluation. This article presents the evolving and complex proc…
“What? That’s for Old People, that.” Home Adaptations, Ageing and Stigmatisation: A Qualitative Inquiry
Older people, even those living with long-term conditions or poor mobility, can be supported to live well at home, through adapting their home to meet changing need. Installing home adaptations, from grab rails to walk in shower rooms, is cost effective, may prevent falls, reduce social isolation and improve self confidence. Despite austerity cuts to public spending, the UK government increased home adaptations' funding. However, not much is know…
Energy advice for Traveller Communities in the context of ethnic and spatial premiums: ‘Paying the Price’ for Other People's Choices
Despite indications that Traveller Communities face particular vulnerabilities to fuel poverty, research on Travellers’ experiences of energy provision, consumption and advice is scant. We report on a qualitative case study evaluation of face-to-face energy advice for Traveller Communities in the north of England. The service was instrumental in building trust, facilitating access to entitlements, and increasing control over energy bills. However…
The hidden impact of home adaptations: Using a wearable camera to explore lived experiences and taken‐for‐granted behaviours
Most adults over 65 years old live in mainstream housing in the United Kingdom, yet these can often be unsuitable for an individual's needs. With increased understanding of the relationship between housing, and health and well-being, the importance of modifying the home to suit individuals is recognised as being paramount. However, it is often difficult to monitor the ways in which home adaptations and equipment are used in the home. This study u…
Exposing the impact of intensive advice services on health: A realist evaluation
Attention has turned to welfare advice as a potential health and social care intervention. However, establishing direct evidence of health impact has proven difficult. This is compounded by the need to understand both the facilitative contexts and mechanisms through which this impact occurs. This study investigated if, how and in which circumstances an intensive advice service had an impact on stress and well-being (as precursors to health impact…
I just want to get on with my life’: A mixed-methods study of active management of quality of life in living with dementia
The active management of the experience of living with dementia appears to improve quality of life despite the lack of disease modification. However, research to date has been largely of modest scale and explanatory factors for improvements have been under-conceptualised. Thus, although promulgated through national strategies, the evidence base is relatively weak. This paper reports on a nation-wide study of the influence of the National Dementia…
Social Unrest in the uk and Turkey: Rethinking Police Violence against Dissident Communities
The present study explores police violence during the riots in London and Gezi Park protests in Istanbul. This study puts forth that the rise of social injustice in theukand the erosion of plural democracy in Turkey clarify the paradox of state intervention because the two states prioritized rapid repression of uprising without consolidating public trust and social justice in the society. This comparative study reveals that the liberal and non-re…
Older UK sheltered housing tenants' perceptions of well-being and their usage of hospital services
The aim of this study was to examine sheltered housing tenants' views of health and well-being, the strategies they adopted to support their well-being, and their use of health and social care services through a Health Needs Assessment. Sheltered housing in the UK is a form of service-integrated housing for people, predominantly over 60. The study used a parallel, three-strand mixed method approach to encompass the tenants' perceptions of health …
Elusive Evidence: Hard‐to‐Reach Drug Users and the Missing Values in Drug Policy Decision Making
The 1997 L abour G overnment's commitment to research‐based criminal justice policy held the promise of greater clarity in the drugs/crime link and evaluation of measures to tackle drug use. This article gives a critical assessment of the introduction of drug testing arrestees at police stations as part of the move to force drug users into treatment. The account supports the equivocal findings on the effectiveness of drug testing. It identifies h…
Doing drugs research in the criminal justice system: Some notes from the field
The increasing emphasis on the drug–crime link in British drug policy in recent years has had a knock-on effect on British drugs research. Research is now taking place more and more within the criminal justice system, rather than exclusively in the traditional sites of the community or drug treatment services. This shift has posed some significant challenges for drugs researchers but these have been little discussed to date. This article aims to …
Young People, Crime and School Exclusion: A Case of Some Surprises
During the 1990s the number of young people being permanently excluded from schools in England and Wales increased dramatically from 2,910 (1990/91) to a peak of 12,700 (1996/97). Coinciding with this rise was a resurgence of the debate centring on lawless and delinquent youth. With the publication of Young People and Crime ( Graham and Bowling 1995 ) and Misspent Youth ( Audit Commission 1996 ) the ‘common sense assumption’ that exclusion from s…
