Disorder and disconnection
Parents caring for a child with a life threatening or life limiting illness experience a protracted and largely unknown journey, as they and their child oscillate somewhere between life and death. Using an interpretive qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with parents (n = 25) of children who had died. Findings reveal parents' experiences to be characterised by personal disorder and transformation as well as social marginalisation and …
Providing Meaningful Care
Little is known about young suicidal men's preferences for care. Using a broad interpretive approach, we interviewed 36 formerly suicidal young men in a study addressing the development and provision of mental health services.

Collectively, these categories suggest key features and proces…

Using Focus Groups to Research Sensitive Issues

Through a discursive analysis of within-group interacti…

The analysis uses written material, primarily newspaper reports supplemented by ot…
Balancing the equation
Studies of minority ethnic women and cancer screening have, in the past, suffered from many theoretical and methodological weaknesses. In addition, no attempts have been made to study the complexity of the issue involved in the intercultural context, or the possible contribution of women's experiences to low uptake rates. In order to further our understanding of the issues, an alternative approach, participatory action research (PAR), was adopted…
