Mental illness in media can shape viewer’s beliefs about mental health, help-seeking, and empathic behaviors. The current study sought to investigate how mental health and substance use is depicted in popular media targeted for youth. The visual-verbal video analysis (VVVA) framework was applied to the HBO American drama television series Euphoria to understand how mental illness, substance use, and mental health service use is portrayed, and how characters respond to mental health scenes. Euphoria follows a group of high school students as they navigate adolescence, mental illness and substance use. The VVVA provides a framework for social science and medical researchers to qualitatively analyze multimodal information (e.g., text, cinematography, music and sounds, body language and facial expressions) of visual content. This commentary will briefly describe the VVVA framework, provide an overview of how the framework was applied and adapted to analyze a scene in the television series Euphoria, note similarities and differences to the original VVVA framework, and benefits and drawbacks. The VVVA framework was flexible and effective in coding various elements (e.g., body language, camera angles) in a scene in Euphoria.

Participatory Health Research (PHR) has the potential to result in more equitable health interventions and impactful research outcomes, and is an increasingly used paradigm in migrant health research. In the context of intersecting systems of social disadvantage imposed on migrant and refugee women, PHR could offer an opportunity for researchers to challenge unequal power dynamics in academic research by co-creating knowledge to improve these women’s healthcare access and use. However, there is limited information about how PHR has been conducted with migrant women, including the extent of their involvement throughout the research process. This scoping review aimed to describe and summarize current evidence on the research approaches and methods that have been used in PHR with women of migrant and refugee backgrounds living in high-income countries, and the extent of community engagement in PHR with this population. We searched MEDLINE Ovid, CINHAL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2021 to identify qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method studies adopting a PHR approach with migrant women as participants. We included 91 studies from 12 countries. Health topics of included studies included: knowledge, screening and prevention of HPV, cervical and breast cancer, mental health, nutrition and physical activity, gender-based violence, and health promotion and education. The most common PHR approaches were Community-Based Participatory Research and participatory action research. Overall, community engagement was commonly reported in most stages of research; however, participatory engagement with migrant women was more often done by proxy through community organisations or agents, rather than women themselves. We argue that more rigorous reporting of community engagement is necessary to demonstrate PHR conducted with migrant women is following the principles of equity and inclusion in community-academic partnerships.

Realist evaluation methodology aims to understand social programmes by revealing what works, for whom, in what circumstances, and how and why. Realist evaluation starts with generating initial programme theories (IPTs), which are subsequently tested and refined systematically using a multi-methods approach. This article describes a case study of the utilisation of vignettes, or short hypothetical stories, as part of the teacher-learner cycles recommended within realist evaluation. First, we explore the methodological alignment between vignettes and realist evaluation. We then present a specific case example of the application of vignettes as a data collection tool and discuss the potential advantages and the challenges of using vignettes within realist evaluation. Finally, we offer recommendations for researchers who wish to employ vignettes as a powerful instrument that can be used to better explain IPTs to participants and, in turn, enrich their participation in theory refinement within the realist evaluation framework.

Background: Arts-based research methods and priority setting research both reflect growing commitments towards public and participant involvement in research activities. This has contributed to a growth of these respective methods across research disciplines and sectors, but their intersection has not been explored. Methods: We conducted a scoping review to map the state-of-the-science of arts-based approaches within priority setting research. We conducted an open search of three databases, conducted reference list mining, and hand-searched two journals to identify relevant articles. Of 5457 records retrieved, 11 met our pre-established inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel to produce narrative and descriptive summaries. Findings: All articles had some degree of health focus. Areas of priority setting centered on chronic illness, hard to reach populations, cancer survivorship, dental reform, and youth. In terms of artistic approaches, the majority of the articles included visual methods, with some articles utilizing multiple art approaches such as music, drawing, and filmmaking. Qualitative methods were used in all articles alongside the arts-based approaches, encompassing techniques such as interviews, discussions, and storytelling. Priority setting activites were mainly facilitated in group settings. The suggested benefits of arts-based approaches included enhancing participant communication, improving accessible research dissemination, and encouraging dialogues on identified health concerns. Challenges with using arts-based approaches included limitations on time and resources. Conclusion: Arts-based approaches to priority setting is an expanding field, with clear applications across various research contexts and priority focal areas. Further attention to the integration of arts-based approaches within priority setting, their theoretical underpinnings, and concurrent development and evaluation of arts-based priority setting methods are warranted.
背景：以艺术为基础的研究方法和确定优先事项的研究都反映了公众和参与者对参与研究活动的日益增长的承诺。这促进了这些方法在各研究学科和领域的发展，但它们之间的交叉点尚未得到探讨。方法：我们进行了一次范围界定审查，以了解优先事项设定研究中以艺术为基础的方法的科学现状。我们对三个数据库进行了开放式检索，对参考文献列表进行了挖掘，并对两份期刊进行了手工检索，以确定相关文章。在检索到的 5457 条记录中，有 11 条符合我们预先设定的纳入标准，并被纳入综述。我们使用 Microsoft Excel 对数据进行了提取，并制作了叙述性和描述性摘要。研究结果所有文章都在一定程度上关注健康问题。优先考虑的领域集中在慢性病、难以接触的人群、癌症幸存者、牙科改革和青少年。在艺术方法方面，大多数文章都采用了视觉方法，有些文章还采用了多种艺术方法，如音乐、绘画和电影制作。所有文章在使用艺术方法的同时，还使用了定性方法，包括访谈、讨论和讲故事等技巧。确定优先事项的活动主要在小组环境中进行。以艺术为基础的方法所带来的益处包括：加强参与者之间的交流、改善研究成果的传播以及鼓励就已确定的健康问题开展对话。使用艺术方法面临的挑战包括时间和资源的限制。结论以艺术为基础的优先事项确定方法是一个不断扩展的领域，在各种研究背景和优先重点领域都有明确的应用。有必要进一步关注将艺术方法纳入优先事项设定、其理论基础，以及同时开发和评估基于艺术的优先事项设定方法。

Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are collaborative research modes that help advance science dealing with grand societal challenges. However, many factors still act as obstacles to high-impact research, showing disconnections between practices and policies. We can reasonably question whether we are still incapable of applying the correct methods to grasp interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary heterogeneity. This article aims to deepen the discussion of the methodological options for critically studying interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. By applying meta-ethnography to the inter- and transdisciplinary academic literature, the paper inquires about the suitability of the method to study bodies of knowledge on interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Meta-ethnography is a seven-phase literature review type of meta-synthesis aimed at creating new understandings and theories from a body of work. Applying an autoethnographic approach, I show how meta-ethnography allows for the reconceptualisation of a disparate and dispersed body of literature, advancing current discussions on inter- and transdisciplinarity and their roles in science and policy. The approach outlined in the article is innovative because it contributes to two related realms: (i) it helps advance the field of inter- and transdisciplinary research and policy because it refines the methods available to study these multidimensional practices, and (ii) it offers an example of the further adaptability of meta-ethnography to new topics, such as the investigation of collaborative settings. I analyse six challenges in light of the scientific literature and conclude by focusing on the value meta-ethnography has for studying interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research and propose two methodological innovations.

This article explores the challenges and complexities of a cross cultural PhD student conducting research in West Africa. I discuss how I navigated, negotiated and blurred my insider/outsider experiences as a Congolese-American woman as I engaged with themes oscillating between power, legitimacy, language, gender, and my decolonial and social justice commitments. Reflexive research on Africans studying a secondary non-native African country is seldom discussed or researched. As such, I utilised an intersectional transnegritude theoretical framework to centre and complicate the shared transcolonial struggles and neocolonial realities of myself and my participants. I conclude by positing that, despite the challenges of doing transnational work, reflexively recognising our positionality lends to a liberatory and critical transnational exchange that encourages new approaches to knowledge production for social justice. This article contributes to ongoing discussions of insider/outsider research, positionality, decolonising research, and comparative case study to articulate and dearticulate power dynamics in neocolonial contexts.

In the wake of COVID-19, numerous research projects moved to online data collection to comply with public health guidelines. Since then, many qualitative projects have continued to use online methods to collect data. While online methods facilitated research continuity, they also introduced new opportunities for deceptive behaviors, particularly misrepresentation and multiple participation. Drawing from a recent project that conducted online interviews with young people who detransition after a gender transition, this article describes how fraudulent interviews were identified and dealt with. We present 12 indicators of potential scams in qualitative interviews, including similarities between participants, the type of information provided, participants’ behaviors, and inconsistencies in the narratives. We discuss our overall experience and, in light of recent literature, present strategies to prevent and deal with scams in qualitative research.

This paper outlines my experience as an early career researcher engaging with my power and privilege embedded in my white, English-speaking identity while working with Mexican American male-identifying research participants. Utilizing critical race theory as a framework, this paper chronicles my reflections on un/hooking from whiteness within the context of scholarly inquiry. Specifically, I draw inspiration from a qualitative research project to anchor the discussion of privileged epistemologies and power structures embedded in the inquiry process and academia more broadly, and how race can intersect with how we negotiate our roles, methods, and subjectivities as qualitative scholars. More broadly, this paper explores notions of knowledge and agency in educational inquiry against the question of whose stories are told, how, for whom, and by whom. This paper contributes to the conversation and efforts toward disentangling from whiteness and the epistemologies around which research, higher education, and society are structured to instead magnify the voices and experiences of participants through more egalitarian inquiry practices.

Little is known about the experiences of minority stress among Latina women who have sex with both women and men (WSWM), a sexual and gender minority group situated at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. The current article presents an exploratory study aimed at addressing this knowledge gap. The research utilized a flexible diary-interview method (DIM) to investigate stress-related experiences among Mexican American WSWM residing in an economically disadvantaged community in the U.S. during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. A detailed description of the study is provided, including information on the background, methodology, participants' experiences, and how the project was managed remotely by a virtual research team. Twenty-one participants were asked to maintain a diary for a 6-week period spanning from March to September 2021. They submitted weekly entries in diverse formats (visual, audio, typed, and handwritten) through a user-friendly website or via mail while communicating regularly with researchers over the phone. Following the diarizing period, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to clarify pertinent information within the entries and validate researchers' preliminary interpretations. Out of the initial 21 enrollees, 14 participants stopped diarizing at different stages, and nine completed the entire study. Despite facing challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, participants reported the diary-keeping process as a positive experience that offered an authentic outlet to share parts of their lives they seldom reveal. The implementation of this study highlights two significant methodological insights. Firstly, it emphasizes the value of employing a DIM to explore intersectional narratives. Secondly, it underscores the importance of adopting a flexible and sensitive approach in qualitative health research, particularly when engaging individuals from minoritized groups.

Secondly, it underscores the importance of adopting a flexible and sensitive approach in qualitative health research, particularly when engaging individuals from minoritized groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":48220,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Methods","volume":"22 ","pages":"16094069231183119"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d2/dd/10.1177_16094069231183119.PMC10258653.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10351445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pianists experience high rates of Playing-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (PRMDs). Biomechanical factors have been investigated by both researchers and music teachers as potentially significant in PRMD development. Knowledge exchange between the fields of music and science about PRMDs may be beneficial, but differences in language use can make interdisciplinary communication challenging. One potential solution is to translate pedagogical ideas into language that is consistent with biomechanical science. Doing so could improve interdisciplinary communication and allow for scientific examination of pedagogical ideas. However, no methods for doing so have been published. To fill this gap, we developed a methodological framework with two stages for translating ideas about piano technique into scientific language: Stage 1 uses Qualitative Content Analysis to summarize pedagogical content; then, Stage 2 includes an “Analysis of Biomechanical Language,” in which researchers translate the ideas described in Stage 1. Both stages are collaborative and rely on expert consultation to produce an appropriate translation. This article outlines the framework and explains how it was used in an initial study on the Taubman Approach. Further methodological guidance to assist researchers in future studies is given based on some of the challenges encountered in the initial study. The framework and guidance here will allow researchers to carry out more studies of this kind. Because the framework is newly developed, it will likely need to be adapted further as more studies are done.
