Are there any “science people” in undergraduate health science courses? Assessing science identity among pre‐nursing and pre‐allied health students in a community college setting
Science identity, or one's sense of recognition and competence as a scientist, is an invaluable tool for predicting student persistence and success, but is understudied among undergraduates completing preparatory work for later studies in medicine, nursing, and allied health (“pre‐health career students”). In the United States, pre‐health career students make up approximately half of all biology students and, as professionals, play important role…
Using health information for community activism
The access to, use, and exchange of health information is crucial when strengthening public health services and improving access to care. However, many health system stakeholders, including community groups are perpetually excluded from accessing and using health information. This is problematic as community groups, themselves end-users of care, are well-positioned to keep the health system accountable, provide feedback on the quality of services…
Intervention development of a brief messaging intervention for a randomised controlled trial to improve diabetes treatment adherence in sub-Saharan Africa
The complexity of public health interventions requires that we give more attention to intervention development work. Our documentation and reflection on the StAR2D intervention development process promotes transparency, replicability, assessment of intervention quality, and comparison with other studies
Qualitative Evidence Syntheses Within Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care
A growing number of researchers are preparing systematic reviews of qualitative evidence, often referred to as 'qualitative evidence syntheses'. Cochrane published its first qualitative evidence synthesis in 2013 and published 27 such syntheses and protocols by August 2020. Most of these syntheses have explored how people experience or value different health conditions, treatments and outcomes. Several have been used by guideline producers and ot…
The Secret History method and the development of an ethos of care
South Africa, like many low-and-middle-income countries, is integrating mental health services into routine Primary Health Care (PHC) through a task-shifting approach to reduce the gaps in treatment coverage. There is concern, however, that this approach will exacerbate nurses' abuse of patients currently common within PHC in the country. To address this concern, the Perinatal Mental Health Project developed its Secret History method, a critical …

Global mental health and its critics
Research on help-seeking for mental illness in Africa
There is growing concern within the global mental health arena that interventions currently being executed to scale up mental health services in Africa will be ineffective unless simultaneous steps are taken to address people's help-seeking behaviour. Drawing upon two conceptual tools arising from science and technology studies (STS), those of a "classification system" and "the black box," this paper looks critically at discursive constructions o…
Lowering the walls and crossing boundaries
Prising open the 'black box
Global mental health research is increasingly highlighting the high levels of untreated mental illness in Africa and calling for the scaling-up of services in order to redress this situation. A particular model of care is being strongly advocated for such scale-up, and a recent explosion of research is providing guidelines for its implementation. This article seeks to open up the 'black box' of international research on scaling up the provision o…

Poverty and mental disorders
‘Whether you like it or not people with mental problems are going to go to them’
Limited research has been conducted to explore the factors that support or obstruct collaboration between traditional healers and public sector mental health services. The first aim of this study was to explore the reasons underpinning the widespread appeal of traditional/faith healers in Ghana. This formed a backdrop for the second objective, to identify what barriers or enabling factors may exist for forming bi-sectoral partnerships. Eighty-one…
Queering Family
For centuries most sexual and social abnormality has been marginalized and/or demonized, so that the dominant family story either completely lacked or strove to hide, punish, or expel queer elements. Narratives like Achy Obejas's story We Came All the Way From Cuba So That You Could Dress Like This? are anti-imperialistic and subversive acts that explode the silencing of the queer family. The main character of the story is politically radical wom…
