Evaluating a Community-partnered Approach to Address Locally Relevant Determinants of Cancer Screening in New York City
Community engagement is a dynamic process that requires adapting to community partners' goals and sharing decision-making power
Surreal Encounters
This article explores synergies between surrealism and posthumanism, including ways of knowing the world in ways that simultaneously value and decenter the human, and inspire much-needed creative thinking about reworlding the planet. These are playful ways of knowing that embrace chance, accept paradox, and question conventional understandings of time. Such ideas are explored through the example of an arts-based research project at a community fa…
Summoning the Genius Temporis
This paper considers how conceptions of time might affect the transformative potential of arts-based and creative approaches to policy making. It draws on a project that employed the arts to tackle place-based health inequalities in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, arguing that conventional understandings of time as linear can be limiting. Space, time, and mattering are explored in relation to social justice through a montage of excerpts of creative …
Factors Associated With First-Time NCLEX-RN Success at a Predominantly Black Institution
Background Students from underrepresented groups, including those attending predominantly Black institutions, encounter challenges that hinder first-time success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Method This retrospective, descriptive study included a convenience sample ( N = 122) of nursing students. Data for students who attempted the NCLEX-RN at three different time periods were used to identify fa…
Assessing changes in the food retail environment during the Covid-19 pandemic
Our multi-step data collection approach maximized safety and efficiency while minimizing cost and resources. Challenges in remote data collection varied by neighborhood and may reflect the different resources or social capital of the communities; understanding neighborhood-specific constraints prior to data collection may streamline the process
Covid-19 Leads to Dramatic Changes in the Food Retail Environment in New York City
Are recommended dietary patterns equitable
Objective: Dietary recommendations (DR) in the USA may be inadequate at improving diets in racial/ethnic minority communities and may require redesign of the systems driving their development over the long term. Meanwhile, cultural adaptation of evidence-based DR may be an important strategy for mitigating nutrition disparities, but less is known about the adaptability of these recommendations to meet the needs of diverse groups. We examined the …
The Return of the Surreal
This article argues that the time is ripe to reacquaint sociology and surrealism. Taking inspiration from surrealism’s emphasis on making the ordinary strange through bizarre, lively and sometimes haunting methods might result in a more poetic and playful sociology. The article looks at how this might be applied in practice through drawing on a variety of examples of social research that share some of the tenets of surrealism, not least the latte…
Moral Development, HIV/Aids Knowledge, and Attitude toward HIV/Aids among Counseling Students in the United States
The Viability of Structural Family Therapy in the Twenty-first Century
Reflecting on participatory methodologies
This article concerns a study that examines the attitudes of parents, who have had babies in neonatal care, to sharing their babies’ routinely collected health data for research purposes. A participatory methodology was applied to the design of the study; a group of eleven parents who had all previously had babies in neonatal care were involved in designing a large-scale questionnaire survey. The article addresses the rationale for taking this ap…
Pantomime and politics
The article looks at the alternative forms of knowledge that can be generated by a participatory, arts-based social research process. It draws on a project carried out with working-class women in the North West of England, UK, during the course of which a performance ethnography was developed depicting women's experiences of motherhood and their interactions with a local Sure Start programme. The transcript of the play produced during the researc…
The use of routinely collected patient data for research
Over recent years in the UK there has been growing interest in the potential for routinely collected NHS (National Health Service) patient data to be used for secondary purposes, facilitated by the potential of increasingly sophisticated electronic databases. This article is based on a critically reflective literature review which analyses the key debates pertaining to this issue. The work arose in the context of a programme of research concernin…
The pleasure principle
This article considers how the arts can be used in research with service users as a critical praxis that fits with the ethos of social work research. It discusses a research project that took place at a Sure Start programme in North West England, UK. Sure Start is a government initiative working with families with pre-school-age children in the most socially and economically disadvantaged areas of the country. The project recruited local, working…
Introducing 'Deviant' Social Work
This paper draws upon case study research to explore deviant social work. This is defined as small-scale acts of resistance, subterfuge, deception or even sabotage that are typically hidden yet scattered throughout parts of the social work labour process. Taking a wide variety of forms that can include recalcitrant attitudes as well as practices, deviant social work can be seen as being distinct from radical social work, most notably due to its i…

Sustained effects of an educational program to reduce sales of cigarettes to minors
We report 1-year follow-up data from a sample of stores participating in a 6-month community-wide educational effort to reduce cigarette sales to minors in Santa Clara County, California. The proportion of over-the-counter sales to minors at the 1-year follow-up illustrated that although statistically significant reductions were maintained 6 months after the intervention ended, recidivism occurred. Suggestions for achieving long-term reductions i…
