An exploratory mixed-methods questionnaire study investigating motivators for and reservations about clinical research participation in people living with HIV
Clinical research in healthcare settings offers substantial benefits, including reduced mortality rates in research-active hospitals and access to novel treatments for participants. Despite these advantages, research often faces recruitment challenges, particularly under-representation of women and ethnic minorities. This study explores the views of people living with HIV regarding research participation. This mixed-methods study was conducted at…
Embedding a Proof-of-Concept Test in an At-Scale National Policy Experiment
A randomized experiment that measures the impact of a social policy in a sample of the population reveals whether the policy will work on average with universal application. An experiment that includes only the subset of the population that volunteers for the intervention generates narrower “proof-of-concept” evidence of whether the policy can work for motivated individuals. Both forms of learning carry value, yet evaluations rarely combine the t…
Comparison of Population-Representative and Volunteer Experiments
The Benefit Offset National Demonstration (BOND) tested a $1 reduction in benefits per $2 earnings increase above the level at which Social Security Disability Insurance benefits drop from full to zero under current law. BOND included a rare and large “population-representative” experiment: It applied the rule to a nationwide, random sample of beneficiaries. BOND also included a parallel “volunteer” experiment: The same offset rules applied to a …
What Interventions Work Best for Families Who Experience Homelessness? Impact Estimates from the Family Options Study
What housing and service interventions work best to reduce homelessness for families in the United States? The Family Options Study randomly assigned 2,282 families recruited in homeless shelters across 12 sites to priority access to one of three active interventions or to usual care in their communities. The interventions were long-term rent subsidies, short-term rent subsidies, and transitional housing in supervised programs with intensive psyc…
Developing the Confidence and Competence of Newly Qualified Child and Family Social Workers in England
A measure of self-efficacy was used to assess the development of competence and confidence for participants in a one-year national programme of supervision and support for newly qualified child and family social workers (NQSWs) in England. The study also explored the associations between self-efficacy, demographic variables and role clarity, role conflict, job satisfaction and stress. Method: A longitudinal repeated measures design with three coh…
Housing affordability and family well‐being
The Effects of Housing Vouchers on Welfare Families was an experimental evaluation that examined the effects of housing assistance on low‐income families eligible for or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Household‐based rental vouchers were provided to participants under the Welfare to Work Voucher program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from 2000 through 2004. Vouchers were randomly assigned to …
Time to listen
Gaining authentic voices in the production of research includes reflection on the process of research itself. The following paper reports on the work of an advisory group and raises issues about the extent to which it should be anticipated that such groups represent the feelings and interests of the wider community without the infrastructure and support to enable them to access these. Should we therefore conclude that advisory group members only …
Attitude Accessibility as an Alternative Explanation for How Inoculation Confers Resistance
Whose Job is it Anyway? Educational Roles in Inclusion
Qualitative research methods were used to investigate teachers' perceptions of their educational roles and collaborative teaching efforts in the inclusion of children with severe disabilities in general education classrooms of one school district. Individual interviews were conducted with three educational teams; each consisted of a general education teacher and a special education teacher of an included student. Results indicated that in the ini…
