This article discusses the purpose, process and usefulness of narrative-based research. Drawing on elements of naturalistic and constructivist approaches, the authors explore the processes and consequences of engaging in narrative-based inquiry. They propose a reconsideration of the intention, purpose and usefulness of gathering and using narratives, and suggest that narratives can provide healthcare practitioners with the opportunity to engage in inclusive research that can have a transformational effect on all research informants, including the researchers.

This prospective, controlled field trial aimed to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of mares in late pregnancy with a commercial stud feed balancer on the transfer of passive immunity to their foals. Eighty-two pregnant mares on a single stud farm that were eligible for inclusion were assigned into two groups (Intervention and Control) based primarily on existing social groupings. Between 64-224 days prepartum, all mares received the same forage-based diet but mares in the Intervention group received an in-feed commercial stud feed balancer and mares in the Control group received the stud's home-mix concentrate.

Background: Ensuring vaccine access is a prerequisite for promoting human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination. Although HPV vaccination efforts in China have primarily focused on young females, little research has examined the difficulties they face in accessing the HPV vaccine and its impact on vaccine uptake and intention. This study analyzed the overall perception of access difficulties to HPV vaccines, as well as three specific vaccine access difficulties, and examined their influencing factors among female university students in China.
