  • patients users caregivers and Citizens Involvement in local health technology assessment unit in quebec a survey
    International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 2021
    Co-Authors: T G Poder, M Touré, C Safianyk, M Fournier, Isabelle Ganache, M P Pomey, Mariepierre Gagnon
    Abstract:

    Objectives Increasing emphasis is given on involving patients in health technology assessment (HTA). While this is mainly done at the level of regional and national HTA agencies, this tendency is also emerging in local HTA units. In this study, we provide the results of a survey conducted in local HTA units in the province of Quebec, Canada. The aim of the survey was to provide an overview of local HTA unit practices to involve patients, users, caregivers, and Citizens in their process, their interest in doing so, and their information needs for this. Methods The survey was conducted in 2017 with a response rate of eleven units over a possibility of twelve. Results Three units out of eleven (27.3 percent) never involved patients or members of the public in their processes and all indicated that they will involve them in the next few years. The three most important needs for support identified in the HTA units were in: recruiting and selecting patients; integrating experiential knowledge; and knowing and implementing the best methods and practices for partnership. Conclusion Patient Involvement in local HTA units is quickly evolving and that is why they urgently need tools to involve more effectively patients and members of the public in their process.

    Abstract Increasing emphasis is given on involving patients in health technology assessment (HTA). While this is mainly done at the level of regional and national HTA agencies, this tendency is also emerging in local HTA units. In this study we provide the results of a survey conducted in local HTA units in the province of Quebec, Canada. The aim of the survey was to provide a panorama of local HTA units practices to involve patients in their process, their interest in doing so, and their information needs for this. The survey was conducted in 2017 with a response rate of 11 units over a possibility of 12. Results indicate that only 3 units over 11 never involved patients or members of the public in their process and that all will involve them in the next few years. The three most important needs identified in the HTA units were: recruiting and selecting patients; integrating experiential knowledge; and knowing and implementing the winning conditions for partnership. To conclude, patient Involvement in local HTA units is quickly evolving; that is why the latter urgently need tools to involve more effectively patients and members of the public in their process. Key messages There is a need to develop tools to involve patients in HTA process. Patient Involvement in local HTA units is quickly evolving.

  • The Effect of Website Interactivity on Political Involvement: The Moderating Role of Political Cynicism
    Journal of Media Psychology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Sanne Kruikemeier, Guda Van Noort, Rens Vliegenthart
    Abstract:

    Abstract. This study examines the extent to which interactive communication on political websites affects various forms of Citizens’ Involvement in politics, and the moderating role of political cynicism in this relationship. Based on the outcomes of a laboratory experiment with a single-factor (interactivity: low vs. medium vs. high interactivity) between-subjects design, we found that interactive political websites have a positive effect on citizen Involvement, and this effect is particularly present for websites with high levels of interactivity. We also demonstrate that interactivity effects are, to some extent, contingent on Citizens’ political cynicism. For higher levels of political cynicism, deviations in the level of interactivity make less of a difference in their impact on political Involvement.

  • unraveling the effects of active and passive forms of political internet use does it affect Citizens political Involvement
    New Media & Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sanne Kruikemeier, Guda Van Noort, Rens Vliegenthart, Claes H De Vreese
    Abstract:

    In the time since the rise of the Internet, it has often been claimed that it has the potential to contribute to the quality of democracy by fostering Citizens’ Involvement in politics. So far, empirical evidence regarding this purported effect has been mixed, and many questions about the consequences of specific forms of political Internet use (PIU) have remained unanswered. This study expands the knowledge about the relation between PIU and political Involvement by examining the effect of active and passive forms of PIU on Citizens’ political Involvement: more specifically, interest and voter turnout during election times. The results obtained from a panel study of a representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 985) reveal a positive relation between particular forms of PIU on the one hand and voter turnout and political interest on the other hand. In addition, for two specific forms of PIU, the positive effect on voter turnout is more prevalent for Citizens who exhibit lower levels of political i...

  • Getting connected: The effects of online political communication on Citizens’ political Involvement
    2014
    Co-Authors: Sanne Kruikemeier
    Abstract:

    This dissertation examines to what extent the Internet influences Citizens’ Involvement in politics, by using different research methods - longitudinal survey research, content analyses and experimental studies. Three main conclusions can be drawn from this research. First, this dissertation shows that not many people are politically active online, but some activities are more popular than others. Secondly, studies in this dissertation show that Internet use can have a positive effect on Citizens’ Involvement in politics. For instance, Citizens who use an online Vote Advice Application are more likely to vote. Thirdly, also the communication strategies used in online political communication have a positive effect. When political parties and politicians use an interactive communication style, Citizens feel more politically involved. Additionally, a personal approach also matters. A personal communication style (when the focus is on the politician and not on the party) has a positive effect on Citizens’ Involvement in politics. Personal and interactive communication makes Citizens feel close to politics.
