Tangible, Timely, and Thorough
Traditional qualitative analysis, while valuable in providing rich understandings of people’s lived experience, can be resource and time-intensive, which is challenging for time-sensitive and action-oriented research such as that required in community-engaged and human-centered design (HCD) projects. Rapid qualitative analysis (RQA) has emerged as a valuable approach to balance timeliness with rigor, enabling real-time intervention development. H…
Covid-19 rapid testing in a homeless shelter
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) faced heightened vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet little is known about how frontline homelessness service organizations navigated the public health responsibilities that shifted onto them as broader systems strained. This study provides a longitudinal qualitative analysis of on-site rapid COVID-19 testing implemented at a large Midwestern homeless shelter, examining how multi-level structural…
Stakeholder considerations on acceptability and implementation of a novel rapid test for acute HIV infection
Acute HIV infection (AHI) is the most infectious stage of HIV, yet existing rapid tests cannot reliably detect HIV in this early phase and require up to 90 days post-exposure for accurate results. Laboratory-based nucleic acid tests can detect AHI but are often inaccessible to high-risk populations with limited healthcare access. Novel rapid AHI tests are in development to bridge this gap by enabling earlier, decentralized detection. This study a…
