  • Adaptive Case Study-Mixed Methods Design Practices for Researchers Studying Complex Phenomena

    Open AccessCheryl N Poth, Tarid Wongvorachan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mixed Methods Research2024Cited by: 2References: 3

    The methodological purpose of this article is to generate practical guidance for researchers studying complex phenomena through an adaptive case study-mixed methods (CS-MM) design. We describe CS-MM design adjustments made in response to our rapidly changeable research conditions that make complex phenomena challenging to study. We leverage Guetterman & Fetters’ (2018) CS-MM design recommendations while discussing specific adaptive design practic…

  • Perceptions of antimicrobial stewardship

    Open AccessKayley D McCubbin, Ellen de Jong et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: As antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a substantial threat to the efficacy of available antimicrobial options, it is important to understand how to implement effective and practical mitigation efforts, including antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), across human, animal, and environmental sectors. Methods: = 81) were largely from the veterinary (75%) or human (19%) health sectors. Qualitative data were analyzed in NVivo using temp…

  • Integrated surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use

    Open AccessSimon J G Otto, Margaret Haworth-Brockman et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2022References: 10

    Action is needed in 3 crucial areas: i) development of a complete, integrated AMR/AMU surveillance program, based on current success; ii) changes in Federal/Provincial/Territorial policies to require standardized AMR/AMU reporting; and iii) more resources for AMR/AMU surveillance (dedicated persons, funding, and enabling structures and policy). There is an urgent need for prioritization by Federal/Provincial/Territorial governments to address gov…

  • One Health Evaluation of Antimicrobial Use and Resistance Surveillance

    Open AccessMargaret Haworth-Brockman, Lynora Saxinger et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    We describe the development, application and utility of our novel, One Health Evaluation of Antimicrobial Use and Resistance Surveillance (OHE-AMURS) tool that we created to evaluate progress toward integrated, One Health surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU) as a complex system in Canada. We conducted a qualitative inquiry into the current state of policy and programs for integrated AMR/AMU surveillance using…

  • Knowledge Gaps in the Understanding of Antimicrobial Resistance in Canada

    Open AccessKayley D McCubbin, R Michele Anholt et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Current limitations in the understanding and control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Canada are described through a comprehensive review focusing on: (1) treatment optimization; (2) surveillance of antimicrobial use and AMR; and (3) prevention of transmission of AMR. Without addressing gaps in identified areas, sustained progress in AMR mitigation is unlikely. Expert opinions and perspectives contributed to prioritizing identified gaps. Usin…

  • Using Data Mining for Rapid Complex Case Study Descriptions

    Open AccessCheryl N Poth, Okan Bulut et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mixed Methods Research2021Cited by: 2References: 9

    The methodological purpose of this article is to demonstrate how data mining contributes to rapid complex case study descriptions. Our complexity-informed design draws on freely accessible datasets reporting the public health response surrounding the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta (Canada) and involves the cross analysis of integrated findings across six periods of fluctuation identified in the initial quantitative phase of a convergen…
