Rapid Group Analysis Process (Rap-GAP)
To contribute to healthcare improvements, qualitative health research must adapt to the demanding pace of constantly changing healthcare practices and policies. To meet this challenge, researchers need methods for rigorous and rapid data analysis. This article introduces the Rapid Group Analysis Process (Rap-GAP), a new approach for rapid qualitative data analysis. This method is more efficient than other rapid qualitative analysis methods. It al…
Intersecting systemic and personal barriers to accessing social services
Respondents describe intersecting systemic and personal barriers that compound patients' challenges to getting their social needs met; this includes both a picture of the inequitable distribution of and access to social services and a profile of the limitations created by individual life histories. These results speak to the need for structural changes to improve adequacy, availability, and accessibility of social needs resources. These findings …

Involving Local Health Departments in Community Health Partnerships
Family Member Involvement in Hastened Death
When patients pursue a hastened death, how is the labor of family care-giving affected? The authors examined this question in a qualitative study of 35 families. Four cases reveal the main themes: "taking care" included mutual protection between patients and family members; "midwifing the death" without professional support left families unprepared for adverse events; "tying up loose ends" included dealing with family members' fear of legal conse…
Making midwives
Drawing on material from fieldwork conducted on the island of Saint Lucia, I examine how Saint Lucian nurse-midwives and student midwives negotiate multiple ways of understanding and evaluating their practices and roles in light of contradictory and powerful cultural, historical, and political forces. I argue that, although Saint Lucian nurse-midwives may not qualify as "postmodern" according to the criteria proposed by Davis-Floyd and Davis (199…
