The article describes focus groups conducted separately with social work students and men who use intimate partner violence, which explored pa…

These approaches are explored in relation to three key issues: (1) the divers…

Service user research in social work and disability studies in the United Kingdom
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the involvement of service users in research as well as in research studies that are led by service users. Although this interest in service users' roles in research has been evident in both social work and disability studies, the two research disciplines have remained remarkably separate in the United Kingdom. This paper examines the epistemological underpinnings of social work research and dis…

Adults with cystic fibrosis and barriers to employment
Existing research on cystic fibrosis (CF) tends to view CF as a long‐term medical condition of childhood, thus reinforcing the mistaken view that few children with CF survive into adulthood. Despite the fact that people with CF are increasingly living into older age there has been little research into the employment of adults with CF. Those studies which have been undertaken portray CF as a 'serious illness' which causes employment problems. In c…
