  • Introducing New Peer Worker Roles into Mental Health Services in England: Comparative Case Study Research Across a Range of Organisational Contexts
    Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Steve Gillard, Jess Holley, Sarah Gibson, John Larsen, Mike Lucock, Eivor Oborn, Miles Rinaldi, Elina Stamou
    Abstract:

    A wide variety of peer worker roles is being introduced into mental health services internationally. Empirical insight into whether conditions supporting role introduction are common across organisational contexts is lacking. A qualitative, Comparative Case Study compared the introduction of peer workers employed in the statutory sector, voluntary sector and in organisational partnerships. We found good practice across contexts in structural issues including recruitment and training, but differences in expectations of the peer worker role in different organisational cultures. Issues of professionalism and practice boundaries were important everywhere but could be understood very differently, sometimes eroding the distinctiveness of the role.

  • Community consultation for climate resilient housing: A Comparative Case Study in Vietnam
    International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2014
    Co-Authors: Tran Tuan Anh, Tran Van Giai Phong, Martin Mulenga
    Abstract:

    Community consultation has been mentioned in literature as one of key requirements for developing climate resilient housing but issues related to its real function and linkage to the effectiveness of resilient housing in a given context or community are still problematic. This article reports on a Comparative Case Study between two climate-change prone cities in Vietnam: Hue and Da Nang, to examine consultation-related issues in the Vietnam context through the lens of post-disaster housing reconstruction. The comparison was carried out against the ISET (2012) urban climate resilience framework. The research outcomes demonstrated an absence of community consultation for the self-built housing, the importance of social relationship in building resilient housing, a big gap between at-risk grassroots communities and technically professional services, and a lack of urban governance for a safe and resilient construction.
