本文的目的是探讨在物质使用研究中采用参与式行动研究（PAR）和特权访问采访者（PAI）方法和方法的一系列关键审议。这篇论文是一篇反思性的文章；它采用了应用实践和理论考虑的混合。这些概念体现了对这些方法的相对早期的理解和使用，这些方法是在几十年的研究和服务提供经验中获得的。本文围绕研究过程的一些顺序进行构建，因此为这些方法提供了一个广泛的框架。PAR和PAI方法利用了几个关键的理论考虑。采用这些方法有许多关键问题，包括道德、资金、参与、语言、资源和支持。三个主要原因（道德、政治和基于研究）有助于解释为什么作者应该看到在与药物使用相关的研究中更多地采用这种方法。这篇论文代表了作者的观点，这些观点本质上是非常主观的。实施本文中强调的关键考虑因素可导致在酒精和药物研究中积极采用PAR和PAI方法。更多地使用这种方法将使专员、研究人员和服务提供者能够更细致地了解酒精和药物使用的经验和应对措施。原创性/价值本文记录了在要求服务用户参与酒精和其他药物提供的所有方面，包括评估和研究的呼声日益高涨之际的关键对话
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore a range of key deliberations with regards to adopting participatory action research (PAR) and privileged access interviewer (PAI) approaches and methodologies within research on substance use.Design/methodology/approach This paper is a reflective piece; it adopts a mixture of applied practice and theory considerations. These conceptualisations capture what are still relatively early understandings and uses of such methodologies, acquired across several decades of research and service provision experiences. The paper is structured around some of the sequences of the research process and as such provides a broad framework for such approaches.Findings PAR and PAI approaches utilise several key theoretical considerations. There are many critical issues associated with adopting these approaches, including those of ethics, funding, involvement, language, resources and support. Three key principle reasons (moral, political and research based) help explain why the authors should see more adoption of such approaches in substance use-related research.Research limitations/implications This paper represents authors' views which are by their nature very subjective.Practical implications Implementation of the key considerations highlighted within this paper can lead to an active adoption of PAR and PAI methodologies within alcohol and drug research. Increasing the use of such methodologies will allow commissioners, researchers and service providers to develop a more nuanced understanding of the experiences of and responses to alcohol and drug use.Originality/value This paper captures critical conversations at a time of increased calls for service user involvement across all aspects of alcohol and other drug provision, including evaluation and research
