Tobacco Control Policy in Scotland
The Scottish Government launched a tobacco control strategy in 2013 with the ambition of making Scotland tobacco smoke-free by 2034. However, 17% of the adult population in Scotland smoke cigarettes. This study aimed to provide insight into why policies are successful or not and provide suggestions for future policy actions. Individual interviews with ten tobacco control experts were conducted and the results were analyzed using thematic analysis…
Power to the people? Involving users and carers in needs assessments and care planning-views from the practitioner
Central to community care policy is the notion of user and carer involvement in the process of assessment and care management. Drawing on interviews with 65 practitioners from four social work departments in Scotland, the paper describes both the mechanisms they sought to employ to give users and carers greater control over the process, and the factors that inhibited the realization of this goal. The workers' accounts reveal a gap between an ‘ide…
Outside Looking In? Studies of the Community Integration of People with Learning Disabilities
The paper reviews research exploring the degree of community integration of people with learning disabilities. In the majority of studies reviewed 'integration' is measured in terms of the activities undertaken within the community and/or the character of personal and social relationships. Although in much of the work the focus on these indicators of outcome is informed by the value assumptions embodied in the principle of normalisation, the pape…

This article explores obstacles to understanding the history and contemporary experiences of women in Scotland, and to the development of feminist research in Scotland. It is argued that explanations which invoke Scottish male chauvinism and misogyny alone are insufficient, and that the marginalization of women in Scotland is produced both by male domination within Scotland, and by English cultural and political hegemony within the UK. The articl…
Researching Women in Scotland
For anyone conducting research on women in Scotland, a major problem is the relative lack of attention which has been given in the past to studying gender relations in Scotland. This situation is improving with the publication in recent years of works focusing on the history of women's lives in Scotland (Breitenbach and Gordon 1992; Gordon and Breitenbach 1990; King 1992; and Lcneman 1991), on women in Scottish politics (Brown 1991; Brown and Gal…
