“…Participants stated that their coping behaviour during PBC closely resembled their coping behaviour during other daily life activities, and we continued to use PBC as a point of reference when exploring how these participants coped with breathlessness during daily living. According to the video literature (Davidoff et al, 1998;Horwitz et al, 2003;Mihai et al, 2007), people viewing themselves stimulate their memory and narration. Therefore, using video for self-observation is pivotal in VN, and it was used to stimulate the participants' memory supporting their narration regarding what it is like to live with chronic breathing difficulties.…”

Coping with breathlessness is a complex and multidimensional challenge for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and involves interacting physiological, cognitive, affective, and psychosocial dimensions. The aim of this study was to explore how people with moderate to most severe COPD predominantly cope with breathlessness during daily living. We chose a multimodal grounded theory design that holds the opportunity to combine qualitative and quantitative data to capture and explain the multidimensional coping behaviour among people with COPD. The participants' main concern in coping with breathlessness appeared to be an endless striving to economise on resources in an effort to preserve their integrity. In this integrity-preserving process, four predominant coping types emerged and were labelled: 'Overrater', 'Challenger', 'Underrater', and 'Leveller'. Each coping type comprised distinctive physiological, cognitive, affective and psychosocial features constituting coping-type-specific indicators. In theory, four predominant coping types with distinct physiological, cognitive, affective and psychosocial properties are observed among people with COPD. The four coping types seem to constitute a coping trajectory. This hypothesis should be further tested in a longitudinal study.

“…Excluded were studies that did not use adult substance users or did not have follow-ups after 6 months or before 2 years. Although the mean, median, and modal completion rates all were 73%, rates ranged widely from 43% to 100% (Bacharach et al, 2007;Burke and Gregoire, 2007;Davey et al, 2007;Freyer et al, 2007;Fridell et al, 2007;Gossop et al, 2007;Jason et al, 2007;Matzger and Weisner, 2007;Mensinger et al, 2007;Mihai et al, 2007;Moggi et al, 2007;Niv and Hser, 2007;Robinson et al, 2007;Wade et al, 2007;Williams et al, 2007;Williamson et al, 2007). It is worth noting, …a response rate in excess of 85% is viewed as an excellent rate of return.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Evolving privacy and confi dentiality regulations make achieving high completion rates in longitudinal studies challenging. Periodically reviewing the methods researchers use to retain participants throughout the follow-up period is important. We review the effectiveness of methods to maximize completion rates in a 1-year longitudinal study of repeat driving-under-the-infl uence (DUI) offenders. Method: During the course of 21 months, we attempted to follow-up with 704 participants of a licensed residential treatment facility for repeat DUI offenders. High rates of lifetime Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, substance-use disorders (97.6%) and nonsubstance-or nongambling-related psychiatric disorders (44.5%) among the sample made tracking participants diffi cult. To locate participants and complete follow-up interviews, we obtained baseline information, contacted collaterals, sent mailed reminders, searched Internet databases, and gave a monetary incentive for completing study interviews. Results: We located 608 participants with active telephone numbers (87.4%) and completed interviews with 488 (70.1% of the entire eligible sample and 80.3% of those with active telephone numbers), after an average (SD) of 8.6 (9.1) calls (median = 5.0). Increasing the number of calls continued to yield additional completions at 10, 20, and 30 calls; at approximately 40 telephone calls, the potential return for additional calls did not justify the added effort. Conclusions: These results suggest that researchers need to (1) employ more than 10 telephone calls to adequately track diffi cult-to-follow substance-using populations, and (2) prepare for a subsample of participants who might require more extensive contact. These results highlight the importance of using empirical guidelines to plan estimates for the number of contacts needed to achieve an adequate follow-up completion rate. L ONGITUDINAL STUDIES ARE NECESSARY to investigate the antecedents, mediators, and consequences of various complex behavior patterns (e.g., substance-use disorders). However, attrition often limits the value of longitudinal research, particularly research with psychologically vulnerable and transient populations. High rates of attrition can compromise the external validity of study fi ndings, because those who drop out might differ from those who complete a study (Hansen, 1985). Researchers disagree as to what extent and at what percentage attrition endangers the reliability of study results.Longitudinal studies with samples of alcohol or illicit substance users refl ect this variation. We conducted a PsycINFO search of the peer-review literature published in 2007 using the term "substance abuse OR alcohol abuse OR drug abuse AND longitud* OR prospectiv*" to determine recent completion rates in studies similar in design to our own. Excluded were studies that did not use adult substance users or did not have follow-ups after 6 months or before 2 years. Although the mean, median, and modal compl...

“…Mihai et al (2006) for example found that alcohol-dependent individuals that retrospectively viewed recordings of their own delirium tremens were less likely to suffer relapse than those that did not see such videos. Mihai et al argue that the use of video in such a manner provided some therapeutic value in the treatment of dependency due to the collaborative and informative application of the method.…”

This paper concerns the application of visual methods within qualitative research and the ways in which they can be developed and applied to a range of settings for applied health (and other policy) purposes. Traditionally visual methods have been used as adjunct means to record data and representations of individuals, groups and cultures. Having emerged from a research tradition deeply rooted within the field of social/cultural anthropology they have been largely understated in more policy-orientated research or that with more practical benefits. Visual research however has potential to be utilised in this way, particularly in behavioural and other health areas, in which 'added-value' to 'traditional' text-based research findings can be provided. This paper seeks to demonstrate this potential and provide examples of 'added-value' with specific reference to a study of public environments appropriated by injecting drug users in an urban location.

Viewing videotape of themselves while experiencing delirium tremens could reduce the relapse rate in alcohol‐dependent patients

Abstract: Videotape exposure in delirium tremens is an original therapeutic method which seems to be effective in reducing relapse risk in patients with alcohol dependence.
