Substance Abuse: a Patient-centered Approach
Edited by: Michael R Floyd and J Paul Seale
Series Editors: Moira Stewart, Judith Belle Brown, Thomas R Freeman
Primary care clinicians are often unfamiliar with new and effective methods for detecting substance abuse problems in their earliest stages, and the majority of patients with substance abuse problems remain undiagnosed.
Substance Abuse is written by primary care clinicians and focused to meet the needs of primary care providers, demonstrating how the patient-centered clinical method can assist clinicians in learning how to diagnose this complex psychosocial disorder. This book describes how to use state-of-the-art screening techniques, and how to understand and motivate patients to decrease or eliminate harmful use of alcohol and drugs. It presents the latest scientific findings and gives examples of using a patient-centered approach, as well as describing specific communication skills, with samples of dialogue illustrating their use in helping substance-abusing patients. This is essential reading for all family doctors, paediatricians, gynaecologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, psychologists and all clinicians whose practices include substance-abusing patients. It will also appeal to counsellors, education personnel and all professionals working with substance-abusing individuals.

Research Methods for Primary Care Series |
 |
Volume 1 : Primary Care Research: Traditional and Innovative Approaches
Edited by: Peter G. Norton, Moira Stewart, Fred Tudiver, Martin J. Bass, Earl V. Dunn. Sage
Publications, 1991.
The book, Primary Care Research, integrates social science methods into the framework of clinical investigations of the human problems facing primary care professionals today. An international team of contributors discuss both traditional medical/epidemiological methods and nontraditional qualitative methods. Topics addressed include refining the research question, how the question asked dictates the method used, epidemiological standards, primary care research questions, qualitative research standards, case study methods, and combining methods in research. The book is intended to be a guide for not only researchers themselves but also funding agencies who review primary care research.

Volume 2 : Tools for Primary Care Research
Edited by: Moira Stewart, Fred Tudiver, Martin J. Bass, Earl V. Dunn, Peter G. Norton.
Sage Publications, 1992.
If you are conducting primary care research, then the book Tools for Primary Care Research, is the resource for you. Key introductory chapters describe the three decades of work by a family physician who recognized the importance of observing and questioning, and thoughtfully deliberated the challenges facing primary care researchers. Specific sections examine basic concepts such as identifying research questions and selecting an instrument, techniques such as choosing a sample and creating an original measure, as well as tools for measurement, for data collection, and for analysis. Together, contributors challenge the typical stereotyping of quantitative and qualitative researchers, suggesting the need for each to use available tools constructively. The resources - a multi-disciplinary collection including health research, medicine, anthropology, and psychology - were chosen on the basis of relevance to primary care problems and their unavailability in the traditional medical literature.

Volume 3 : Doing Qualitative Research
Edited by: Benjamin F. Crabtree and William L. Miller.
Sage Publications, 1992.
Why are certain research designs selected? How do researchers use codebooks to analyze participant observation field notes? What are the best ways to use work processing software in the management of qualitative data? Written by gifted researchers, Doing Qualitative Research discusses essential strategies for doing qualitative research. Each chapter establishes the context in which the specific methods should be chosen, offers a step-by-step description of the method, tell show the quality of the method is assessed, and provides interesting true-to-life examples. Two concluding chapters "pull it all together" by describing a completed research study of physician health promotion activities as well as a study utilizing focus groups to determine a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Special topics include an overview of qualitative research methods, data collection approaches, strategies for analysis, and special cases of examination.

Volume 4 : Assessing Interventions: Traditional and Innovative Methods
Edited by: Fred Tudiver, Martin J. Bass, Earl V. Dunn, Peter G. Norton, Moira Stewart.
Sage Publications, 1992.
Research methods for primary care often require adaptation of methodologies that were developed for other health care fields. To help meet the distinct needs of researchers in primary care, the book called, Assessing Interventions takes a comprehensive look at specific methods that can be used to assess interventions successfully. This information- packed volume is divided into four parts and covers such issues as assessing interventions in primary care using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. It also explores such topics as principles and approaches to measures of self-report, assessing a smoking cessation intervention, and assessing primary health care delivery.

Volume 5 : Conducting Research in the Practice Setting
Edited by: Martin J. Bass, Earl V. Dunn, Peter G. Norton, Moira Stewart, Fred Tudiver.
Sage Publications, 1993.
In Conducting Research in the Practice Setting, a multidisciplinary team of contributors representing such fields as family medicine, nursing, social work, epidemiology, and anthropology identify the methods and elements necessary for conducting successful research in the primary care setting. The volume first concentrates on such general issues of primary care research as the ethics of conducting research with human subjects. Next, the contributors examine practical questions such as combining clinical care and research, recruiting patients, maximizing use of the office computer, and identifying the needs of the surrounding community. Collaborations - a topic of increasing importance - between nurse and physician, university and community, and industry and clinician are explored. Special settings relevant to primary care are also discussed. For example, such settings as rural native communities, the homeless, and long-term care are addressed in terms of the challenges they present. The appendix includes a checklist for conducting research in the practice setting.

Volume 6 : Disseminating Research / Changing Practice
Edited by: Earl V. Dunn, Peter G. Norton, Moira Stewart, Fred Tudiver, Martin J. Bass.
Sage Publications, 1993.
ISBN 0-8039-5705-x
Academic and professional researchers in the health and medical sciences recognize the task of disseminating information as equal to that of obtaining it; the contributors to this absorbing volume address this problem by offering specific, detailed solutions. Following a broad survey of existing methodologies, the volume advances the implementation model that serves as the basis for the succeeding works. These exceptional contributors examine not only various means by which information may be shared, but at what stages in the research process (i.e. before or after peer review?) -and with whom. In addition, the culminating discussion of media involvement in the dissemination process provides both valuable insights and practical suggestions. Upholding the tradition of quality and worth established by earlier works in this series, Disseminating Research/ Changing Practice will prove indispensable to researchers and practitioners in the field of primary care.

Patient-Centered Medicine: Transforming the Clinical Method
Moira Stewart, Judith Belle Brown, W. Wayne Weston, Ian R. McWhinney, Carol L. McWilliam, and Thomas R. Freeman.
Sage Publications, 1995.
In Patient-Centered Medicine, the authors present a six-component model to assist health practitioners in expanding and strengthening their relationships with patients. Thoughtful discussions and case studies present topics as diverse as conceptualizations of ill health, consideration of the patient as an individual, the establishment of goals and cooperative strategy between physician and patient, and the realistic allocation of time, energy and other resources of the health care provider. Emphasizing a whole person philosophy, the work encourages physicians to surpass treatment based strictly on a one-dimensional, biomedical assessment of their patients- and achieve greater results. Professionals and advanced students in all health care fields will appreciate this illuminating and provocative volume.
