Abstract Background This study reports on qualitative research conducted within a randomised controlled trial to explore possible intervention mechanisms. It focuses on the ‘Learning Together’ whole-school intervention delivered in secondary schools in England from 2014 to 2017 aiming to prevent bullying and aggression and improve student health. Intervention schools received staff training in restorative practice, a social and emotional learning curriculum, and an external facilitator and manual to convene and run a student/staff action group tasked with coordinating the intervention, focusing this on local needs. Methods Informed by realist approaches to evaluation, we analysed qualitative data to explore intervention mechanisms and how these might interact with school contexts to generate outcomes. Qualitative analysis drew on 45 interviews and 21 focus groups across three case-study schools and employed thematic content analysis to explore how intervention resources were taken up and used by local actors, how participants described the intervention mechanisms that then ensued, and how these might have generated beneficial outcomes. Results The thematic content analysis identified three social mechanisms that recurred in participant accounts: (1) building student commitment to the school community, (2) building healthy relationships by modelling and teaching pro-social skills, and (3) de-escalating bullying and aggression and enabling re-integration within the school community. Conclusions Our analysis provides in-depth exploration of possible mechanisms and the contextual contingencies associated with these, allowing refinement of the initial intervention theory of change.

The aim of this paper is to discuss social and health repercussions in women due to drug use, as disclosed in reports published in magazines with national circulation. This is a qualitative research, with an exploratory and descriptive approach. Articles published in four magazines were used, during six consecutive months as of September of 2009. Fifty-two articles were identified with comments on women and the drug phenomena. The information was addressed by means of thematic content analysis. The reports address the increased consumption of drugs by women, the consumption of drugs to maintain and/or achieve the established sociocultural standards of beauty, with risks for addiction and overdose, and situations resulting from violence towards women living with male drug users. Economical, political, ideological and cultural reflexes for women involved with the drug phenomena could be the cause or consequence of implications in the health of this population.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer a percepção dos pais sobre o hábito da sucção de chupeta de seus filhos, além de descrever as experiências relacionadas à utilização desse objeto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com 10 pais de pré-escolares que participaram da estratégia motivacional para remoção de chupeta, realizada através de atividade lúdica nas escolas. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas, logo após foram ponderadas por meio da análise de conteúdo temática. A partir das entrevistas ficou evidente que a prática da utilização da chupeta está fortemente relacionada à cultura, e que os pais percebem este como um hábito comum e presente na criação de seus filhos. Apesar de entenderem que o hábito prolongado pode ser prejudicial, enfrentam dificuldades para a remoção do mesmo. Enfatiza-se que a cultura é transformável, sendo necessária uma abordagem participativa construída a partir de novas técnicas de educação em saúde.Palavras-chave: Chupeta; Motivação; Pesquisa qualitativa; Cultura; Pré-escolar. The influence of cultural reproduction on the pacifier sucking habitAbstract: The aim of this study was know the parents' perception about the pacifier sucking habits of their children, as well as to describe the experiences related to the use of this object.

Abstract Joining the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities does not make a community age-friendly; the age-friendly team must cultivate community engagement, develop collaborations with diverse stakeholders, mobilize resources, and document achievements. Little research describes the tools age-friendly rural communities use to effect change and develop sustainability. Thematic content analysis of 67 interviews conducted between December 09, 2018 and January 24, 2020 with age-friendly leaders in rural Maine communities suggested that peer-to-peer networking, privileging local knowledge, engaging local and regional partners, technical advice from a trusted source, and fun were among the tools used to move age-friendly rural work forward.
