Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background Attendance in the cervical cancer screening programme is one of the most important factors to lower the risk of contracting the disease. Attendance rates are often low in areas with low socioeconomic status. Charging a fee for screening might possibly decrease attendance in this population. Screening programme coverage is low in low socio-economic status areas in Gothenburg, Sweden, but has increased slightly after multiple interventions in recent years. For many years, women in the region have paid a fee for screening. We studied the effect of abolishing this fee in a trial emanating from the regular cervical cancer screening programme. Individually randomised controlled trial. All 3 124 women in three low-resource areas in Gothenburg, due for screening during the study period, were randomised to receive an offer of a free test or the standard invitation stating the regular fee of 100 SEK (approximate to 11 (sic)). The study was conducted during the first six months of 2013. Attendance was defined as a registered Pap smear within 90 days from the date the invitation was sent out. Attendance did not differ significantly between women who were charged and those offered free screening (RR 0.93; CI 0.85-1.02). No differences were found within the districts or as an effect of age, attendance after the most recent previous invitation or previous experience of smear taking. Abolishment of a modest screening fee in socially disadvantaged urban districts with low coverage, after previous multiple systematic interventions, does not increase attendance in the short term. Other interventions might be more important for increasing attendance in low socio-economic status areas.

- Mapping youth participation Björn Andersson och Susanne Liljeholm Hansson SESSION 16: Spaces and styles of participation Mapping youth participation This abstract relates to a joint open session Spaces and Styles of Participationtogether with Walther, Nyman-Kurkiala and Schwanenfluegel. One important empirical task for the PARTISPACE project is to map how young people engage in participatory activities in the eight cities that take part in the study. To know what we are looking for we have to have some kind of definition of what youth participation means. The general starting point is that participation should be understood as a lived and situated practice. As a more concrete guide for the collection of data we distinguish between formal, non-formal and informal forms of participation. The formal level is about elections, membership in political parties and taking part in youth parliaments or councils. These are activities that often are labelled participation . The non-formal setting is about associations and youth organizations, often supported by various youth work efforts. Finally, the informal level is about all kinds of youth activities, often not considered as participatory, but which nonetheless contain elements that affect young peoples relation to society. Methods that will be used for gathering data are interviews, observations, case studies, group discussions and reconstructing participation biographies. There will also be action research projects carried out by young people themselves. During the seminar we will present the work done in Gothenburg this far. We will discuss and reflect upon the theoretical and methodological approaches used in the study. Does the mapping work or do we miss important aspect of young people s participation due to deficiencies in the design of the study?

Slutrapport Trestad2. Del A: Genomgång av delprojekt och samlad bedömning.
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport är en del av den avslutande rapporteringen av projektet Trestad2. Trestad2 är en av Socialdepartementet finansierad satsning för att i landets tre storstadskommuner arbeta fram insatser och åtgärder för att minska användandet av cannabis och ungdomar och unga vuxna. De tre städerna har på olika sätt själva eller i samarbete tillskapat en mängd olika projekt för att upptäcka och förebygga användande av cannabis samt behandla de som drabbats. En oberoende forskargrupp har utsetts av de tre städerna att utvärdera arbetet som utförts under projektets gång från 2012 till 2015 och därefter rapportera resultaten till Socialdepartementet. Denna rapport är alltså en del av denna rapportering. Forskargruppen har varit med från projektets start och har löpande tagit del av hur arbetet i projektet utvecklats. Utvärderingen har fokuserat på att undersöka hur väl projektet lyckats uppnå sina målsättningar. I huvudsak har arbetsmetoden varit att granska projektdokument från de olika delprojekten i Trestad2, men forskargruppen har också genomfört intervjuer med nyckelpersoner i de tre städerna. Denna rapport består av tre olika delar. I det första avsnittet finns en redogörelse för den projektansökan som ligger till grund för tillkomsten av Trestad2 och det görs en samlad bedömning huruvida projektet som helhet haft en inriktning i linje med de mål som formulerades från början. I detta avsnitt finns också en redogörelse för hur städerna organiserat sig för att klara av att nå projektets målsättningar och likheter och skillnader lyfts fram samt de olika lokala förutsättningar städerna har haft för att jobba med projektet. I nästa avsnitt följer en genomgång av de skilda delprojekten i Trestad2. Där beskrivs delprojektens innehåll och genomförande och det görs en bedömning av projektens utfall i olika relevanta avseenden. I det sista avsnittet diskuteras vad forskargruppen anser att projektet lett fram till. Där lyfts fram vilka erfarenheter som gjorts, vad som lyckats särskilt väl och de svårigheter som funnits. I rapportens slut finns en förteckning av publicerade rapporter inom Trestad2 för vidare läsning.

Social sustainability in residential solutions
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Paper proceedings, Sustainable Housing 2016, Porto, Portugal. - 9789898734204
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Currently there is a mounting demand on housing providers to contribute to sustainability in residential situations and to deliver practical demonstrations and experiments in this field. One such example in Sweden has been initiated as a research based project development process by a cooperative housing association in Göteborg, Riksbyggen EF, also a major actor on national level. During a period of three years a transdisciplinary collaboration, involving Chalmers Architecture and the University of Gothenburg, a building project comprising more than a hundred flats has been defined and is now going to be built starting November 2016 at Chalmers University campus site. The collaborative project, the so called Positive Footprint Housing claims a future realization of a number of radical implementations in a design strategy of significantly raised residential resilience implemented in Brf Viva, as the name given. Examples range from a wide variety of components like sharing of electric car pool, limited parking lots, extensive application of rooftop pv-cells and electric production to the introduction of low cost starter flats for young residents and structural flexibility of apartments in addition to extensive common facilities like a winter garden for parties, meetings and plant cultivation. Efforts to create social sustainable solutions have been both procedural and substantial in character. This paper will take a critical stance towards this endeavor building upon related conducted research with insights and observations of authors from participation within this pro- cess of research informed residential projective realization. The focus has been set on unfolded and identified crucial social aspects of sustainability and related architectural residential solutions in particular of long term alterability and flexibility. Our study shows the inherent vagueness of general sustainability formulations, especially concerning social sustainability, and the importance of doing research directly in the conflicting social fabric where sustainability goals are negotiated and given a concrete significance.

Standing up! Stödgruppsverksamhet för anhöriga till personer med drogproblem.
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur uppfattar och bemöter samhället människor med missbruksproblem och deras anhöriga? Hur kan socialt stöd utformas så att anhöriga får hjälp med att hantera den svåra situation de befinner sig i? Det här är frågor som diskuteras i rapporten. Rapporten är en beskrivning och utvärdering av en arbetsmodell för anhörigstöd i grupp, utifrån intervjuer med anhöriga och gruppledare. Det empiriska underlaget utgörs av två stödgrupper för anhöriga vilka genomfördes under hösten 2013 respektive våren 2014 vid Behandlingsgruppen centrum-väster, Social resursförvaltning, Göteborgs stad. Detta skedde i samarbete med Kunskapskällar´n vid samma förvaltning. Gruppverksamheten var organiserad som ett delprojekt inom Trestad2, en satsning för att motverka cannabisanvändande bland unga som Socialdepartementet finansierat i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö åren 2012-14.De anhöriga berättar om svårigheter de ställs inför inom familjen likväl som i kontakten med myndigheter och andra utomstående. De berättar också vad de tycker om att ha deltagit i en stödgruppsverksamhet och hur det är att dela sina erfarenheter med andra som är i samma situation.
