Enriching qualitative alcohol and other drug research by engaging lived experience peer researchers in a dual-interview approach: A case study.

Introduction: Engaging people with lived experience of alcohol and other drug use as peer researchers in qualitative research is becoming more common. However, there are differing opinions on how to best engage and support peer researchers.

Case Presentation: Through this case study the researchers aimed to illustrate the potential benefits of a peer/academic researcher dual-interview approach as a qualitative method in research.

Alcohol and other drug use: A qualitative exploration of staff and patient's experiences of language use as a means of stigma communication in hospital and primary care settings.

Introduction: Hospital and primary care settings present opportunities to interact, initiate conversations, and instigate referrals for patients experiencing harm from their alcohol and other drug use. Using a stigma communication model, our qualitative study explored whether stigma communication materialized in staff's language in the hospital and primary care settings, and if so, whether this had any impact on staff's and patients' experiences.

Method: The study conducted thematic analysis on 39 semi-structured interviews comprising both male and female adults (n = 20) who had experienced or were currently experiencing problematic alcohol or other drug use; and staff (n = 19) from either alcohol and other drug specialist services, or other broader health care services.

Putting out the welcome mat-A qualitative exploration of service delivery processes and procedures as barriers to treatment-seeking for people who use alcohol and other drugs.

Introduction: There are a range of models and structures that determine features of alcohol and other drug treatment. Despite some structures being long-established, less is known about how specific aspects of service delivery impact treatment-seeking for people who use alcohol and other drugs. This Australian qualitative study explored both people with lived experience of problematic alcohol and other drug use, and health care staff's experiences of service delivery.
