Ethical decision making during a healthcare crisis: A resource allocation framework and tool
The COVID-19 pandemic has strained healthcare resources the world over, requiring healthcare providers to make resource allocation decisions under extraordinary pressures. A year later, our understanding of COVID-19 has advanced, but our process for making ethical decisions surrounding resource allocation has not. During the first wave of the pandemic, our institution uniformly ramped-down clinical activity to accommodate the anticipated demands …
Decision-making around end-of-life care in brain cancer patients: A scoping review
Neuro-oncology clinicians’ perspectives on factors affecting brain cancer patients’ access to medical assistance in dying: A qualitative study
In most jurisdictions where medical assistance in dying (MAiD) is legal, patients must have decision-making capacity. Brain cancer often damages the cognitive networks required to maintain decision-making capacity. Using qualitative methodology guided by a relational ethics conceptual framework, this study explored neuro-oncology clinicians' perspectives on access to and eligibility for MAiD for patients diagnosed with brain cancer. We interviewe…
Relational Autonomy as a Theoretical Lens for Qualitative Health Research
As scholars integrate empirical approaches to ethical questions in healthcare, relational autonomy theory must inform research design and change practice. Qualitative approaches are well suited to issues where patient values play a central role, and they can be combined with relational autonomy theory to investigate the factors influencing autonomy-rich experiences. This paper draws upon my experience conducting bioethics research related to clin…
Bridging the research–policy gap: The importance of effective identity leadership and shared commitment
It is widely agreed that the availability of high quality evidence does not translate readily into influence over policy decisions. This insight has generated long-running debates about the most effective way to ‘bridge the gap’ between policy research and policymaking, and to increase policy research ‘uptake’. The proposed remedies (for example, greater ‘linkage and exchange activity’, ‘knowledge brokering’, ‘joint knowledge production’) tend to…

Physician advice for smoking cessation in primary care: Time for a paradigm shift
General practitioners are often exhorted to routinely counsel patients who smoke about quitting in light of current evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines suggesting that such brief interventions provide an easy and effective way of increasing quit rates. Drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted with 25 smokers and 10 general practitioners (GPs) in British Columbia, Canada, this article explores smokers' and GPs' perspectives on smoking …

Every space is claimed: Smokers' Experiences of Tobacco Denormalisation
Over the past decade, the strategy of 'denormalising' tobacco use has become one of the cornerstones of the global tobacco control movement. Although tobacco denormalisation policies primarily affect people on the lowest rungs of the social ladder, few qualitative studies have explicitly set out to explore how smokers have experienced and responded to these legislative and social changes in attitudes towards tobacco use. Drawing on a qualitative …

Stress and Body Shape: Stress-Induced Cortisol Secretion Is Consistently Greater Among Women With Central Fat
OBJECTIVE: Excessive central fat puts one at greater risk of disease. In animal studies, stress-induced cortisol secretion has been shown to increase central fat. The objective of this study was to assess whether women with central fat distribution (as indicated by a high waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]), across a range of body mass indexes, display consistently heightened cortisol reactivity to repeated laboratory stressors. METHODS: Fifty-nine healthy…
Using a poster exercise in an introductory geography course
A poster assignment has been developed by teaching assistants at the University of Washington, and this has been particularly useful in Introductory Geography courses. This paper discusses the purpose, design, implementation, and value of the exercise in the instruction and promotion of geography at the University of Washington and elsewhere
