A Novel Mixed Methods Approach Combining Geospatial Mapping and Qualitative Inquiry to Identify Multilevel Policy Targets
Multi-level perspectives across communities, medical systems and policy environments are needed, but few methods are available for health services researchers with limited resources. We developed a mixed method health policy approach, the focused Rapid Assessment Process (fRAP) , that is designed to uncover multi-level modifiable barriers and facilitators contributing to public health issues. We illustrate with a study applying fRAP to the issue …
A Note On The Importance of The Interstate Slave Trade of The Ante Bellum South
The older regions of the South invested to bring up both free whites and Negro slaves. If whites subsequently emigrated or if slaves simply accompanied their migrating masters, the older section received no compensation for producing them. At best, the interstate slave trade played an auxiliary role in one possible institutional setting. Scattered among published sources are components of evidence for a valid proposition about the interstate slav…

The Generations of R&D and Innovation Management
Since 1900, there have been four generations of innovation and R&D management theory and practice. The first three generations were based on a linear model and process that begins with research and but generally does not effectively progress through development to commercialization. The current fourth generation (4G) has twelve new principles that improve the effectiveness and efficiency of innovation and R&D management. The linear model is repla…
A Typology of Primary Care Workforce Innovations in the United States Since 2000
PURPOSE: Innovative workforce models are being developed and implemented to meet the changing demands of primary care. A literature review was conducted to construct a typology of workforce models used by primary care practices. METHODS: Ovid Medline, CINAHL, and PsycInfo were used to identify published descriptions of the primary care workforce that deviated from what would be expected in the typical practice in the year 2000. Expert consultants…
Alternatives to Freedom
This authoritative text concerns itself with freedom and `alternatives to freedom', based on original survey research of public attitudes to civil and political rights.It combines and connects explicit and implicit arguments for freedom, with the judgements of public opinion on two levels the general public and politicians encouraging the reader to think about issues both in terms of political theory and public opinion.The issues considered, all …
Asymmetric adaptive legal cultures amongst minorities and Euro-migrants
In the post-communist period, there has been considerable pressure towards a more convergent pan-European legal culture. Under international pressure, formal laws can be changed, but legal cultures that include public perceptions, attitudes, habits, conventions and even behaviour may be resistant to change imposed on them from outside. Formal laws may be changed, but legal cultures still reflect the legacy of communism. This study conducted in Uk…
Religion, Risk and Legal Culture
‘Legal cultures’ in European countries have been under the twin pressures of moves towards ‘European and international standards’ on the one hand, and the ‘war on terror’ on the other—the first exerting pressure in a liberal direction, the second exerting pressure in an authoritarian direction. Data from focus groups and interviews with the general public and Muslim minorities provide insight into how the public in general, and Muslims in particu…
Primary Care Practice Transformation is Hard Work
BACKGROUND: Serious shortcomings remain in clinical care in the United States despite widespread use of improvement strategies for enhancing clinical performance based on knowledge transfer approaches. Recent calls to transform primary care practice to a patient-centered medical home present even greater challenges and require more effective approaches. METHODS: Our research team conducted a series of National Institutes of Health funded descript…
Evaluation of Patient Centered Medical Home Practice Transformation Initiatives
BACKGROUND: The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has become a widely cited solution to the deficiencies in primary care delivery in the United States. To achieve the magnitude of change being called for in primary care, quality improvement interventions must focus on whole-system redesign, and not just isolated parts of medical practices. METHODS: Investigators participating in 9 different evaluations of Patient Centered Medical Home implemen…
Multicultural Nationalism
This book is a pioneering study of how multiculturalism interacts with sub-state nationalism in Britain. It gives equal attention to Scotland’s largest ‘visible’ and ‘invisible’ minorities: ethnic Pakistanis (almost all of them Muslim) and English immigrants; and to the Islamophobia and Anglophobia of majority Scots. Rising Scottish self-consciousness could have threatened both these minorities. But in reality, problems proved to be solutions, in…

The misuse of referendums in post-communist Europe
Referendums can be an efflective device of popular control only if a broad issue of principle is at stake, if the people clearly understand the issue, if they have strong and enduring views about it, and if the options on the ballot correspond to those views. In the early 1990s, referendums on the ‘civilizational choice’ facing Eastern Europe might have met those conditions. But by 2003, referendums on EU accession did not. The issue was no longe…

How and Why lslamophobia is tied to English Nationalism but not to Scottish Nationalism
Muslim minorities throughout Europe are under threat of collateral damage from the Blair/Bush 'War on Terror.' In Scotland they also have to cope with the added possibility that Scottish nationalism might develop an 'ethnic' as well as a 'civic' dimension. But is Scottish nationalism part of the problem or part of the solution? Paradoxically, Muslims are under less pressure in Scotland than in England, despite Scotland's move over recent decades-…
The new Polish ‘right’
The Polish election of 2001 marked the reconstruction of the Polish right in parliament, the exit of the former governing parties and the entry of four new parties into parliament including, for the first time, some openly Eurosceptic parties. There is some debate among academics and journalists about the character of these new parties, but these views do not always reflect the attitudes of the Polish people themselves towards the new parties: ho…
Understanding Dual Identities in Poland
Parallel’ divisions of identity in Poland are a thing of the past – and perhaps the future – but not the present. Yet contemporary Poles are still politically divided by identities – albeit by ‘nested’ Polish/European identities rather than by ‘parallel’ ethnic identities. They are not divided between Polish and European identities, however, but between exclusive and dual identities – in essence a division between parochial and cosmopolitan ident…

Confessions
There is widespread criticism of the behaviour of junior officials in post-communist Europe where they are often accused of treating citizens unfairly and soliciting presents or bribes to solve citizens' problems. To get the perspective of officials themselves we interviewed 1307 junior officials and state employees in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on their willingness to accept gifts from clients, their c…
A Culture of Corruption
Based upon surveys and interviews with government officials and citizens, this book focuses on issues such as bribery, corruption, inefficiency and freedom of information in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The authors go beyond an analysis of public perceptions and behaviour and look at public attitudes towards proposals for reform. They reveal how the problem of citizens' interactions with officials varies in kind as well as …
The Ethnic Dimension to Bureaucratic Encounters in Postcommunist Europe
In a survey of public opinion about the behaviour of officials in four postcommunist countries ‐Ukraine, Bulgaria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic – we found pervasive suspicions of ethnic bias. Although ethnic minorities themselves were particularly suspicious of officials, there was a consensus across both ethnic majorities and minorities that officials favoured their own ethnic group and discriminated against others. Suspicion may distort real…

The Connection Between SNP Voting and the Demand for Scottish Self‐government
Evidence is presented both for and against several explanatory models of SNP electoral support. There are remarkable similarities of timing and psychology between SNP support and support for Liberals or abstention in England. Yet SNP support matches attitudes towards more self‐government. It would appear that SNP support has been caused by Britain‐wide influences breaking the constraints that formerly kept the self‐government cleavage out of part…

The Religious Alignment at English Elections between 1918 and 1970
Before World War I religion was a major determinant of voting in Britain. Butler and Stokes have used recent interview surveys, divided into cohorts, to trace the declining effect of religion on British partisanship or at least the present day results of that historic decline. This paper compares their findings with census based analyses of religion and voting at each election from 1918 to 1970 and for each major party. The results confirm and ex…

The Birth and Death of a Three-Party System
In the general election of October 1974 the Scottish National Party gained 30·4 per cent of the vote in Scotland. This result and the build-up to it in the previous two elections, seemed to indicate a new pattern for Scottish voting. British and American writers had drawn attention to the decline of partisanship as a basis for voting. In Britain, the class basis of this partisanship had been dominant but now appeared to recede. Growing support fo…

The Report of New Jersey's Constitutional Commission
The Report of the Commission on Revision of the New Jersey Constitution (Trenton: May, 1942, 59 pp.), as conditioned by the peculiarities of the state's governmental environment, is conventional in philosophy but unique in many particulars. It recommends a new state constitution, which is set forth in full—a proposed constitution relatively short, and showing some rigidity in legislative organization and procedure, but ample flexibility in its ex…

Canada's TV World is US-made
At the very time the government cracks down on foreign news magazines, and the CRTC and the CBC work busily to purge Canadian broadcasting of foreign commercials and entertainment programs, there is a curious lack of concern about the foreign filters through which Canadians receive their television coverage of world affairs. This lack of concern about the foreign newsfilm which is so prevalent on Canadian television is puzzling especially in ligh…
