Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health geographers are well situated for undertaking population health intervention research (PHIR), and have an opportunity to be at the forefront of this emerging area of inquiry. However, in order to advance PHIR, the scientific community needs to be innovative with its methodologies, theories, and ability to think critically about population health issues. For example, using alternatives (e.g. community-based participatory research) to traditional study designs such as the randomised control trial, health geographers can contribute in important ways to understanding the complex relationships between population health (both intended and unintended consequences), interventions and place. Representing a diverse array of health concerns ranging across chronic and infectious diseases, and research employing varied qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the contributions to this book illustrate how geographic concepts and approaches have informed the design and planning of intervention(s) and/or the evaluation of health impacts. For example, the authors argue that geographically targeting interventions to places of high-need and tailoring interventions to local place contexts are critically important for intervention success. Including an afterword by Professor Louise Potvin, this book will appeal to researchers interested in population and public/community health and epidemiology as well as health geography.
Download or read book Evaluation et transf rabilit des interventions de r duction des in galit s sociales de sant written by Mélanie Villeval and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les inégalités sociales de santé sont particulièrement élevées en France. Si leur réduction est reconnue comme un enjeu de santé publique majeur, les politiques sanitaires restent centrées sur le système de soins et la modification des comportements " individuels ". Les travaux en épidémiologie sociale permettent de mieux comprendre comment ces inégalités se construisent et s'enchaînent tout au long de la vie. Cependant, l'absence de connaissances solides sur les moyens d'agir sur ces déterminants limite le passage à l'intervention. De nombreuses interventions locales sont mises en œuvre mais restent souvent peu décrites, peu évaluées et peu transférées. La thèse s'inscrit dans le champ de la recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations. Dans la première partie, la vision classique séquentielle des programmes de santé publique est déconstruite au profit d'une approche plus systémique. Différents niveaux d'intervention sont présentés, des programmes d'éducation à la santé individuels aux évaluations d'impacts sur la santé (EIS) qui permettent d'agir sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé. A partir d'une critique de l'essai expérimental, d'autres approches évaluatives sont présentées, basées sur une revue de la littérature sur l'" évaluation de programme ", domaine peu développé en France. La seconde partie décrit les résultats d'une recherche sur la transférabilité des interventions, menées à partir du programme AAPRISS (Apprendre et Agir Pour réduire les Inégalités Sociales de Santé). Un modèle visant à décrire les interventions en distinguant leurs " fonctions clés " (potentiellement standardisables et transférables) et leur implémentation, pouvant varier selon les contextes, a été développé à partir de différents projets de prévention inclus dans le méta-programme AAPRISS. Il repose sur l'hypothèse qu'une meilleure description des interventions, basées sur une distinction entre éléments transférables et éléments adaptatifs, constitue un prérequis à son évaluation et son potentiel transfert, et repose sur une co-construction entre professionnels et chercheurs. Dans une troisième partie, ce modèle est utilisé pour le programme AAPRISS lui-même. Les dynamiques d'échange de connaissance et de co-construction intersectorielle et interdisciplinaire sur lesquelles il repose sont analysées. La complexité des déterminants conduisant aux ISS plaide pour des programmes qui revisitant les projets existants plutôt que la création d'une nouvelle intervention visant à les réduire. Mieux comprendre comment fonctionnent ces projets et pouvoir reproduire des processus à même d'agir sur les ISS est essentiel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While research teams are producing relevant and valid knowledge for health promotion, there is not yet a structured manual and distinct field of health promotion research. This timely "state-of-the-art" handbook contributes to the structuring of such a field of research. This collection of original contributions explores the major epistemological, methodological, and ethical challenges facing health promotion research. It brings together experts from different "research traditions" that coexist in the field. The handbook covers the existing knowledge production and sharing practices to delineate the "discipline" and its agenda for future research. Ultimately, it contributes to the creation of a global community of health promotion researchers. The handbook is organized by four types of practices (what people actually do) studied in health promotion; the practices of: Individuals and populations in relation to their health and its determinants Professionals who intervene to improve population health Policy-makers and institutions involved in the advocacy, design, and implementation of policies and programs Researchers and innovators (academic scholars and global agencies) through which investment in research and production of evidence-based guidelines are made. Global Handbook of Health Promotion Research, Vol. 1: Mapping Health Promotion Research is a highly relevant reference tool for researchers and graduate students in health promotion, public health, education and socio-health sciences; practitioners in health, medical, and social sectors; policy-makers; and health research administrators.

Download or read book Health Research Practices in a Digital Context written by Laurent Morillon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current "generalized digitization" of society is influencing the health environment, healthcare organizations as well as actors. In this context, human and social sciences deconstruct, nuance and sometimes even challenge certain preconceived ideas and/or dominant discourses. In this book, researchers of four nationalities and three different disciplines have agreed to open the "black box" of their work. They display their scientific practices from the perspective of epistemology, ethics and methodology. They present and analyze their values and postulates but, also, what may have influenced the project, the definition of the object and objectives, as well as their approaches. In a contextual way, the first part presents some changes in environments and infocommunicational practices related to digital health. The second part opens space to reflect on ethics and deontology. Finally, postulating that scientific fact is not an essence but the result of a process, the last part discusses the methods implemented, which may be different from those initially envisaged. This book is dedicated to the researchers and postgraduate students in the human and social sciences as well as the health practitioners likely to collaborate with them.

This book was released on 2023-09-28T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’evidence based medicine constitue une nouvelle approche de la pratique médicale visant à la fonder sur la recherche de la preuve. Elle s’est progressivement imposée comme la bonne manière de pratiquer la médecine et comme le mode dominant d’évaluation de la validité des connaissances. La standardisation des pratiques qui en découle pose aujourd’hui la question de la prise en compte de la singularité du patient et de l’autonomie critique du médecin. Le modèle biomédical et ses outils de recherche expérimentale sont de plus en plus sollicités aussi pour s’appliquer au champ de la santé publique. Sont-ils toujours adaptés pour, sinon mesurer, au moins apprécier ou prévoir les effets de telle ou telle intervention en prévention, en promotion de la santé ? Les déterminants de santé appartiennent à des domaines aussi variés que les environnements physiques, sociaux, économiques, psychologiques, de l’éducation ou encore les modes de vie et le recours aux soins : comment déterminer l’efficacité des interventions en santé publique sur une ou plusieurs composantes de la santé perçue ou la santé globale des personnes au sens de l’OMS ? Face à des facteurs aussi hétérogènes les méthodes evidence-based suffisent-elles ou bien doit-on les réserver à des problématiques de prévention où les facteurs de corrélation sont plus aisés à établir comme le lien entre la couverture vaccinale et le degré de protection d’une population ? À quels autres outils peut-on alors recourir pour évaluer, au sens de mettre en valeur, la portée d’actions de prévention, de promotion de la santé en santé périnatale, infantile, juvénile et familiale ? À travers réflexions théoriques et retours d’expériences pratiques, l’ouvrage tente de mieux cerner les conditions à réunir pour apprécier les effets d’activités, d’expériences ou de programme de prévention, particulièrement dans le champ d’action de la PMI et de la santé sexuelle, et faire reconnaître ainsi toute sa place à cet exercice public, à la fois médical et de promotion de la santé.

Download or read book Using Knowledge and Evidence in Health Care written by François Champagne and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-05-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the clinical, management, and policy levels, the use of knowledge and evidence in health care has become a worldwide priority. The contributors to Using Knowledge and Evidence in Health Care seek to broaden our understanding of the complexity involved in health care decision-making by integrating social science knowledge and exploring some of the challenges and limits of evidence in different health care contexts. Louise Lemieux-Charles and François Champagne have brought together an esteemed group of scholars to provide a conceptual framework that illustrates the factors critical to analysing and optimizing the use of knowledge and evidence. Previous studies have focused primarily on the medical literature without acknowledging the social sciences tradition. With its integration of works from political science, public policy, informatics, and other disciplines, Using Knowledge and Evidence in Health Care provides a bridge between both worlds. By bringing together different views on the topic, the volume goes beyond strict disciplinary boundaries to provide the fullest exploration of knowledge and evidence in health care.
Download or read book Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas written by Louise Potvin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-26 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, health promotion is a crucial component of public health, to the extent that public health interventions are called on to prove their effectiveness and appraised for scientific validity, a practice many in the field consider self-defeating. Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas cogently demonstrates that scientific rigor and the goals of health promotion are less in conflict than commonly thought, synthesizing multiple traditions from countries throughout North, Central, and South America (and across the developed-to-developing-world continuum) for a volume that is both diverse in scope and unified in purpose. The book’s examples—representing robust theoretical and practical literatures as well as initiatives from Rio de Janeiro to American Indian communities—explain why health promotion evaluation projects require different guidelines from mainstream evaluative work. The editors identify core humanitarian principles associated with health promotion (participation, empowerment, equity, sustainability, intersectoral action, multistrategy, and contextualism), while chapters highlight challenges that must be mastered to keep these principles and scientific objectives in sync, including: (1) Building health promotion values into evaluation research projects. (2) Expanding the use of evaluation in health promotion. (3) Developing meaningful evaluation questions. (4) Distinguishing between community-based participation research and evaluation-based participation. (5) Evaluating specifically for equity. (6) Designing initiatives to foster lasting social change. The applied knowledge in Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas: Values and Research can bring the goals of intervention into sharper focus for practitioners, evaluators, and decision-makers and facilitate communication on all sides—necessary steps to progress from study findings to real-world action.
Download or read book Neuroscience and Social Science written by Agustín Ibáñez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to build bridges between neuroscience and social science empirical researchers and theorists working around the world, integrating perspectives from both fields, separating real from spurious divides between them and delineating new challenges for future investigation. Since its inception in the early 2000s, multilevel social neuroscience has dramatically reshaped our understanding of the affective and cultural dimensions of neurocognition. Thanks to its explanatory pluralism, this field has moved beyond long standing dichotomies and reductionisms, offering a neurobiological perspective on topics classically monopolized by non-scientific traditions, such as consciousness, subjectivity, and intersubjectivity. Moreover, it has forged new paths for dialogue with disciplines which directly address societal dynamics, such as economics, law, education, public policy making and sociology. At the same time, beyond internal changes in the field of neuroscience, new problems emerge in the dialogue with other disciplines. Neuroscience and Social Science – The Missing Link puts together contributions by experts interested in the convergences, divergences, and controversies across these fields. The volume presents empirical studies on the interplay between relevant levels of inquiry (neural, psychological, social), chapters rooted in specific scholarly traditions (neuroscience, sociology, philosophy of science, public policy making), as well as proposals of new theoretical foundations to enhance the rapprochement in question. By putting neuroscientists and social scientists face to face, the book promotes new reflections on this much needed marriage while opening opportunities for social neuroscience to plunge from the laboratory into the core of social life. This transdisciplinary approach makes Neuroscience and Social Science – The Missing Link an important resource for students, teachers, and researchers interested in the social dimension of human mind working in different fields, such as social neuroscience, social sciences, cognitive science, psychology, behavioral science, linguistics, and philosophy.
Download or read book Health Intervention Research written by Souraya Sidani and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when evidence-based practice is the standard bearer for understanding health behaviour, problems and interventions, ensuring that researchers know the appropriate designs and methods for their research is more paramount than ever. Health Intervention Research will equip those doing research in these communities with the knowledge and tools they need to inform their methodological decisions when planning and conducting studies. This book describes both commonly used (e.g., randomized clinical trials) and advanced (e.g. preference trials, pragmatic trials) designs and methods for health intervention research. It outlines the theoretical reasoning underlying these different approaches, and synthesizes the evidence which supports or disputes different designs and methods. To achieve its aims, the book is divided into three main sections. The first section points to the need to base methodological decisions on evidence and highlights the importance of carefully selecting research designs and methods to maintain validity. The second section focuses on designs to determine the effects of intervention on outcomes, outlining their features and discussing how these can be used to evaluate interventions. The last section covers methods used in conducting intervention evaluation research. For each design and method, the following is covered: what it is, what the logic underlying it is, what the evidence supporting its effectiveness is, and also includes its advantages, its limitations, and how can it be implemented. This will be key reading for postgraduates and novice researchers in health and clinical psychology, health sciences and nursing.
