For information. Paul Paul Bywaters Emeritus Professor of Social Work Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Coventry University Priory Street Coventry CV1 5FB Tel.: 02476 795945 or 795384 -----Original Message----- From: A discussion forum and information resource for public health [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Charles Walker Sent: 12 March 2008 10:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Call for abstracts: Addressing Health Inequalities through Qualitative Methods The Centre for East European Language-Based Area Studies Methodological Workshop: Addressing Health Inequalities through Qualitative Methods While quantitative approaches have traditionally dominated in health research, the growing application of qualitative methodologies in recent years has allowed social epidemiologists to address new questions in public health, or to approach old questions in new ways. In preparation for a research project on health inequalities in the former Soviet Union, researchers with experience in qualitative approaches to social epidemiology, either in Russia and Eastern Europe or elsewhere in the world, are invited to discuss their research at a forthcoming workshop. Of principal interest will be qualitative research which addresses the roles of class, gender, age, and spatial location in shaping health behaviours, subjective assessments of health and well-being (including perceptions of 'control'), and access to healthcare. Purely methodological rather than research-based papers are also welcome. The workshop will be held at St. Antony's College, the University of Oxford, on Friday 16th May. Subsistence and travel funding is available for speakers. Please send abstracts of around 250 words to [log in to unmask] by Monday 31st March. -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE This message and any files transmitted with it is intended for the addressee only and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.
