“…In transformative services research literature, there has been preliminary research exploring the relationships between masculinity and health care service provision. For example, McGraw et al (2019) use the perspective of gender identity to explore how there can be several points of contention between services' and men's agendas. For instance, rejecting health services can create positive agency for men (and thus reduce disempowerment and emasculation).…”

Men with mental ill health face multiple barriers to accessing support services. While there is existing work specifically addressing men’s individual help-seeking behaviors, health providers need to better understand broader contexts about access to mental health services. Men seeking help for health-related issues are often stigmatized, and increasingly so when seeking mental health services. This is thought to partly explain the disparities in men’s poor mental health outcomes. The present study aims to improve understanding of men’s experiences of accessing complex transformative services by integrating the behavioral model of health service use and theories and concepts relating to masculine norms and idealized masculinity. Applying an exploratory qualitative design, a sample of men with high levels of depressive symptoms were interviewed about their experiences with health, stress, and coping. Findings indicate men’s experiences of mental health service use were shaped by the external environment, individual characteristics, and their previous service interactions. The analysis identifies key elements of complex health services that empower men to overcome gender-based barriers and access these services. Based on these findings, we provide specific recommendations related to providing a broader range of services rather than assuming that a service designed to appeal specifically to men will be accessible to all men. Visibility of services also improved accessibility for men, such as with successful campaigns including fridge magnets or easy-to-recall phone numbers.

Issue AddressedColorectal cancer (CRC) screening through fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) has saved thousands of lives globally with multiple countries adopting comprehensive population wide screening programs. Participation rates in FOBT based CRC screening for the socially and economically disadvantaged remains low. The aim of this systematic review is to explore empirical evidence that will guide targeted interventions to improve participation rates within priority populations.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cinahl and PsycInfo were systematically searched from inception to 22 June 2022. Eligible studies contained qualitative evidence identifying barriers to FOBT based CRC screening for populations impacted by the social determinants of health. An inductive thematic synthesis approach was applied using grounded theory methodology, to explore descriptive themes and interpret these into higher order analytical constructs and theories.ResultsA total of 8,501 publications were identified and screened. A total of 48 studies from 10 countries were eligible for inclusion, representing 2,232 subjects. Coding within included studies resulted in 30 key descriptive themes with a thematic frequency greater than 10%. Coded themes applied to four overarching, interconnected barriers driving inequality for priority populations: social, behavioural, economic and technical/interfaces.So What?This study has highlighted the need for stronger patient/provider relationships to mitigate barriers to FOBT screening participation for diverse groups. Findings can assist health professionals and policy makers address the systemic exclusion of priority populations in cancer screening by moving beyond the responsibility of the individual to a focus on addressing the information asymmetry driving low value perceptions.

“…Research on internal activism could help to understand how employees themselves perceive their role in value co-creation, and what they perceive and accept as value. This could include research on both subtle and overt tactics that employees can use to transform or challenge existing value co-creation processes, how value alignments or misalignments may affect how employees engage in value co-creation (c.f., McGraw et al. , 2019), or how employees work together to maintain or transform value co-creation either across their own organization or across the service system.…”

PurposeThis paper highlights the potential of social activism – defined as a public act that aims to challenge the status quo by bringing alternative views or narratives to the debate – in transformative service research and proposes a future research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThis paper builds upon a review of social activism in the management and communications literature to identify its potential for social change in service (eco)systems.FindingsThis paper outlines three ways in which social activism can influence companies (external activism, internal activism, and activism as practice) and illustrates how they can be used to advance transformative service research in selected priority areas.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper develops a future research agenda and suggests research questions that could guide scholarly inquiry at the intersection of social activism and transformative service research.Practical implicationsFor managers and policy makers, this paper highlights how social activism can influence companies' attempts to drive social change.Originality/valueThis paper is among the first to link social activism and transformative service research and highlight novel research opportunities at their intersection.
