Widespread poverty continued to exist in Durham at the start of the twentieth century. Improvement in working and housing conditions was a slow. Wages in dominant industries associated with iron and coal were higher than those who still worked on the land, in service and elsewhere but, for most families, it was a hard existence. The social and economic context of capital crimes are apparent in many of the cases featured in this volume. Alcohol-fuelled jealousy or the need for money was often the prelude to a meeting with the executioner. The voices against capital punishment became louder as t

Small, cramped houses were built to accommodate the rising population and often three or more fami

It is now over half a century since the last coalmining disaster to affect the lives and families of people living and working on what became known as the Great Northern Coalfield. This was the first area of Britain where mining developed on a large scale but at tremendous human cost. Mining was always a dangerous occupation, especially during the nineteenth century and in the years before nationalization in 1947. Safety was often secondary to profit. It was the disasters emanating from explosions of gas that caused the greatest loss of life, decimating local communities. In tight-knit mining

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveWe were funded by Canadian Institutes of Health Research Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (CIHR-SPOR) to use administrative data to identify people with mental health and/or addiction (MHA) problems, and determine characteristics that lead to them becoming a superuser of health services. The aim of the CIHR-SPOR is to ensure that research improves healthcare systems and practices. Their approach is to fundamentally change the ivory tower nature of research to make it more inclusive, user friendly, and timely. An essential component of the CIHR-SPOR is engaging patients as partners at all stages of the research. In this presentation we will describe the challenges, successes, and failures of engaging patients as part of the research team.
ApproachIn Saskatchewan, Canada, we engaged with community programs to determine the 'on-the-ground' reality of people living with MHA problems. Our discussions revealed that First Nations and Métis People are highly overrepresented in the MHA patient population. For example, they comprise 15% of the Saskatchewan population yet 70% of patients receiving treatment at a local methadone clinic. For this reason, we are focusing our efforts on engaging with this specific patient population.
ResultsWe encountered a number of barriers to finding patient advisors. First, patient advisors available through institutional programs are not representative of our target population, being more affluent, well-educated, and Caucasian. There are currently no formal avenues to identify and invite members of the target population to join the research team and so we are using personal connections and team building to identify patients advisors. Second, complicated institutional policies on reimbursement for patient advisors impede participation by low income individuals. Third, we are concerned the socioeconomic disparities common in this vulnerable population may impede their full and honest participation as a patient advisor.
ConclusionsPatients and their family members are invaluable members of the research team. However, a power differential often exists between team members and patients due to socioeconomic differences, including race and education. Stigmatized health conditions such as MHA problems can exacerbate the feelings of a power differential. All of these things can prevent genuine involvement by patients. The most important step in successfully involving these untraditional team members is building trust through unconditional acceptance and respect for each individual's lived experience. Building trust takes time and so patient engagement cannot be expected to follow a rigid schedule.
