Using a Range of Communication Tools to Interview a Hard-to-Reach Population
Online communication tools are increasingly being used by qualitative researchers; hence it is timely to reflect on the differences when using a broad range of data collection methods. Using a case study with a potentially hard-to-reach substance-using population who are often distrustful of researchers, this article explores the use of a variety of different platforms for interviews. It highlights both the advantages and disadvantages of each me…
Libido as a motivator for starting and restarting non-prescribed anabolic androgenic steroid use among men
Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) are commonly used for their anabolic effects and the potentially detrimental consequences are well documented. Most studies focus on the motivations of increased muscle development and report increased libido as a secondary motivation. This paper aims to explore users’ reports of libido as a motivator for starting and restarting AAS use. This mixed-methods study comprised questionnaires with 133 adult male AAS u…
Support for non-prescribed anabolic androgenic steroids users
Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) are used by the general population (particularly male gym users) for their anabolic effects (increased muscle mass). Few studies have sought AAS users’ views on what information and support they need. This study focuses on ideal support wanted by people who use AAS. Interviews were conducted with 23 self-declared adult AAS users. Using thematic analysis, six themes were identified aligned to support and informat…
Social Work Implications of Anabolic–Androgenic Steroid Use, Particularly Among Young People
Non-prescribed anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) use has increased during recent years. Often used ‘recreationally’ and for aesthetic purposes, AAS are easily purchased over the internet and informally from gym-using peers. Social workers have a responsibility to support service users, to identify and manage risks and AAS use raises some noteworthy challenges to social work practice. This literature review aims to identify AAS-related knowledge s…
Support for people who use Anabolic Androgenic Steroids
Support needs to be specific and targeted towards AAS users. Sensitivity to their perceptions of their drug-use and the associated stigma of being classified in the same sub-set as other illicit drug users is relevant to facilitating successful engagement
Variables Influencing Physiotherapy Adherence Among Young Adults With Cerebral Palsy
The findings of this qualitative study provide insight into a range of developmental and personal variables that influence whether young adults with cerebral palsy adhere to physiotherapy programs and advice from physiotherapists, with the aim of improving the quality of services offered to such a population. The study participants included young adults with cerebral palsy between the ages of 16 and 25 years who were enrolled in a college devoted…
Providing Comprehensive Case Management Services to Urban Women with HIV/Aids and Their Families
Women continue to be disproportionately affected with HIV. Women with HIV/AIDS are also more likely than their male counterparts to be single heads of households and primary providers for their children. Social workers are ideally suited to recognize the psychosocial complexities that HIV/AIDS entails for women and how such circumstances can interfere with medical management and meeting children’s needs. This article discusses the literature rele…
