Aims: Graphic elicitation is an emergent data gathering approach in qualitative research. An overview of the development and application of a collage based graphic elicitation method in gaining greater understanding about the experience of Gulf War Illness (GWI) is presented in this paper. The unique contributions of this method are also discussed.
Main Methods: Fourteen veterans with GWI were interviewed and then invited to represent their experiences in a visual format through a collage graphic elicitation task. Interviews and collage artworks were coded and compared to both verbal and art responses during the graphic elicitation process.
Key Findings: Comparison of the content in the interview responses and collage artwork indicates that the graphic elicitation process resulted in three distinct responses: (1) Synthesis and confirmation of content articulated in the interviews, (2) focus on salient aspects of living with GWI, and (3) revealing previously unarticulated experiences.
Significance: This work demonstrates the unique contributions of collage graphic elicitation, including allowing for spontaneity, metaphorical thinking, enriching verbal explication, and uncovering lived experiences and new affective responses. The sample size was too small to make any generalizations, and more research is needed to further validate these initial findings.

Group A rotavirus (RVA) is a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children globally, despite the availability of live-attenuated vaccines. Challenges such as limited efficacy in low-income regions, safety concerns for immunocompromised individuals, and cold-chain dependency necessitate alternative vaccine strategies. Subunit vaccines, which use specific viral proteins to elicit immunity, provide a safer and more adaptable approach.

American Indians (AIs) experience continued disparities in incidence, mortality, and survival on cancers responsive to early screening in the USA. In New Mexico, AIs compared with other racial/ethnic populations are substantially less likely to adhere to recommended screening guidelines. Our study focuses on increasing cancer awareness using culturally, linguistically, and health literacy appropriate informational materials.

Thiophene is a privileged pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry owing to its diversified biological attributes. The thiophene moiety has been ranked 4th in the US FDA drug approval of small drug molecules, with around 7 drug approvals over the last decade. The present review covers USFDA-approved drugs possessing a thiophene ring system.

Serious crime modelling typically needs to be undertaken securely behind a firewall where police knowledge and capabilities remain undisclosed. Data informing an ongoing incident are often sparse; a large proportion of relevant data only come to light after the incident culminates or after police intervene-by which point it is too late to make use of the data to aid real-time decision-making for the incident in question. Much of the data that available to the police to support real-time decision-making are highly confidential and cannot be shared with academics, and are therefore missing to them.

A statistical methodology named "capture recapture", a Kaplan-Meier Summary Statistic, and an urn model framework are presented to describe the elicitation, then estimate both the number of interviews and the total number of items ("codes") that will be elicited during patient interviews, and present a summary graphical statistic that "saturation" has occurred. This methodology is developed to address a gap in the FDA 2009 PRO and 2012 PFDD guidance for determining the number of interviews (sample size). This estimate of the number of interviews (sample size) uses a two-step procedure.
