“…A Participatory Action Research Committee (PAR) was created to give advice to the researchers on developing research protocol, implementing research, and dissemination to increase the probability that findings would help the intended research beneficiaries (Breda et al, 1997;Gatenby & Humphries, 1996;Penuel & Freeman, 1997;Turnbull, Friesen, & Ramirez, 1998). The PAR method involves researchers and stakeholders as equal partners throughout the research process (Breda et al, 1997).…”

This article, which describes a component of a larger research project, focuses on participants' perspectives on (a) ways that the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) affected access to services for children with emotional or behavioral disabilities and their families, and (b) other ways that the ASFA affected children with emotional or behavioral disabilities and their families. Fifty-eight interviews with 33 participants (youth in out-of-home placements, their parents, foster care providers, service providers, and judges) took place. Participants reported that they believed the ASFA shortened the amount of time families had for correcting problems while their children were in custody. Some service providers may feel less inclined to help families because the law seems to require less from service providers than was required in the past. In addition, participants believed that when courts make decisions involving families, those decisions are more likely to call for termination of parental rights than for reunification. The investigators offer recommendations regarding these issues that involve the ASFA, families, and children with disabilities. D

“…19,20 Many researchers are attracted to participatory action research because it both involves the participants and unites research with focused community action to address social concerns. 21 We decided that participatory methods would add considerably to developing an understanding of urban injection drug use and help in generating intervention models that are harmonious with actual, on-the-ground beliefs and behaviors of IDUs.…”

While significant gains have been achieved in understanding and reducing AIDS and hepatitis risks among injection drug users (IDUs), it is necessary to move beyond individual-level characteristics to gain a fuller understanding of the impact of social context on risk. In this study, 6 qualitative methods were used in combination with more traditional epidemiologic survey approaches and laboratory bioassay procedures to examine neighborhood differences in access to sterile syringes among IDUs in 3 northeastern cities. These methods consisted of (1) neighborhood-based IDU focus groups to construct social maps of local equipment acquisition and drug use sites; (2) ethnographic descriptions of target neighborhoods; (3) IDU diary keeping on drug use and injection equipment acquisition; (4) ethnographic day visits with IDUs in natural settings; (5) interviews with IDUs about syringe acquisition and collection of syringes for laboratory analysis; and (6) focused field observation and processual interviewing during drug injection. Preliminary findings from each of these methods are reported to illustrate the methods' value in elucidating the impact of local and regional social factors on sterile syringe access.
