The latest discussion from the Qualitative Methods Journal Club (QMJC) is now available online, focusing on the way young people from a detoxification service and a rehabilitation service in Australia narrated their experiences of recovery.
The Qualitative Methods Journal Club met in March to discuss a study about young people’s stories of their progress through treatment, from initially ‘feeling disconnected’, to later ‘imagining a future’.
“This month’s article generated a lively discussion around the different ways that narrative inquiry can be used in drug-related research. Journal club members saw narratives as a great knowledge translation tool that could help make research findings available to participants, as well as policymakers.”
