Effectiveness of Alcohol Use Disorder Pharmacotherapies by Sex
Exploring women’s views toward no-lo alcohol products during pregnancy
Background Pregnancy encompasses a period of socially expected and medically advised abstinence from alcohol. The UK has one of the highest rates of alcohol exposed pregnancies globally. ‘Non-alcoholic and low alcohol’ (NoLo) drinks may provide a viable means to support abstinence or harm reduction. We explore women’s views towards NoLo products including consumption barriers and enablers.Methods We conducted 18 semi-structured photo-elicitation …
Women and shame
OBJECTIVE: Existing literature indicates distinct pathways and the key role of shame and stigma into alcohol dependence (AD) and recovery for women. Internationally, there is a paucity of research exploring these factors from women's perspectives. METHODS AND MEASURES: narrative analysis to explore how seven women from the UK, storied shame in their recovery from AD. RESULTS: Shame followed a common trajectory across participants' stories, appear…
“One of Us”
Despite the growing body of literature on Prison Officers and therapeutic practitioners within correctional facilities, comparatively little research exists into prison volunteers. Using semi-structured interviews with caseworkers ( n = 5), analyzed via Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, this study explores the experience of being a Prison In-Reach Caseworker, supporting the male ex-Armed Forces population in Greater London prisons. Throug…
Mechanisms and processes involved in women's pathways into alcohol dependence and towards recovery
Women's heavy drinking is often rooted in trauma and histories of abuse, while socio-cultural factors affect both the initiation of use as well as pathways to recovery. Research has largely focused on the epidemiology of alcohol use, and considerably fewer studies have examined the elements that facilitate recovery and the socio-cultural specificities that affect women's lives. To address this gap, we conducted a qualitative meta-synthesis in whi…
Using multimodal methods to explore groups with multifaceted roles
This article explores the ways in which creative, multimodal methods are well-suited to research with groups holding multifaceted roles within complex systems. The potential benefits of using imaginative methods in qualitative inquiry will be discussed in relation to the participants, organisation and researcher. The first author’s ongoing doctoral project is discussed, which employs a creative, multimodal method combining vlogs and interviews fo…
Through the prison walls
Background: Prison is a complex, hierarchical environment which has been shown to both prompt existential reflection and act as a barrier to authentic emotional expression. The risks associated with emotional expression within prison are further suggested to inhibit forms of self-reflection crucial to successful desistance. This article explores the use of poetry as a practice and a research method within such an environment.Method: Using narrati…
Rhizomatic affective spaces and the therapeutic potential of music in prison
Research literature supports that music programmes in prisons can have a therapeutic effect in prisoners’ lives that could promote personal development and assist the process toward desistance. The authors use a meta-synthetic approach to examine 12 qualitative articles published worldwide to explore the therapeutic potential of such programmes. The findings suggest that music programmes in prison are perceived by participating prisoners as a lib…
