Exploring the uptake and provision of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) among 'vulnerable' groups: a mixed-methods study

卡拉制定了广泛的项目概要，并将其与自己的兴趣相一致，即围绕种族和生殖。卡拉将在威尔士黑人妇女中开展一个关于长效可逆避孕(LARC)的项目。她将首先进行系统的审查，然后采用混合方法；首先，进行量化分析，考察初级保健机构和性健康诊所之间使用LARC的差异；其次，进行定性分析(通过访谈)，考察黑人妇女在尝试获得避孕保健时的经历。卡拉希望使用定性数据来帮助理解定量数据。Kara能够传达对可能的道德问题的强烈理解(例如，“弱势”参与者；敏感的讨论点)。我们相信，卡拉将(以安全的方式)开展一个合乎道德规范的项目。我们也比任何其他候选人更相信她在拟议的研究中对“脆弱性”的考虑和概念化。

Kara developed the broad project brief and aligned this with her own interests, namely, around race and reproduction. Kara will carry out a project on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) use among Black women in Wales. She will begin with a systematic review followed by mixed-methods; first, a quantitative analysis which examines the differences of LARC use between primary care settings and sexual health clinics; second, a qualitative analysis (via interviews) looking at Black women's experiences when trying to access contraceptive care. Kara wants to use the qualitative data to help make sense of the quantitative data. Kara was able to convey a strong comprehension of the possible ethical issues (e.g. 'vulnerable' participants; sensitive discussion points). We believe that Kara will carry out an ethically-sound project (and in a safe manner). We were also convinced, more than any other candidate, by her consideration and conceptualisation of 'vulnerability' within the proposed study.
