Unfortunately, traditional qualitative data collection methods may limit social work researchers, as face-to-face interviews are time consuming, and may constrain study participation to those who have the ability to engage in an in-depth interview. Changes in the digital landscape, however, have allowed qualitative researchers to expand on traditional data collection methods. The purpose of this multiple-case study report is to explore the feasibility of using a mobile application (app) and text messaging to collect qualitative data. The results of this case study of 15 transportation-disadvantaged adults suggest that mobile apps, with embedded text messaging features, are a promising way to collect qualitative data from research participants, including those research participants who are not particularly familiar with smart technologies. This finding is important for social work researchers since the profession mandates that researchers closely tend to the needs of vulnerable populations. If social work researchers find it difficult to amplify the perspectives of vulnerable populations due to the limitations of traditional qualitative data collection methods, it follows that they ought to explore promising methods that are equipped to do so.","PeriodicalId":46115,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN SERVICES","volume":"38 1","pages":"38 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228835.2019.1599766","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43520444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the advent of the internet came new vocabulary: big data, social networks, data smog, data traces, data collaboratives, telehealth, tele mental health, cloud computing and countless other new ideas. Simultaneously with the rise of these new data sources inanimate objects became smarter, we’ve birthed: smart cities, smart cars, smart phones, smart watches, and smart homes; with surely other new smarter objects in the near future. The technology sector has is also moving forward with virtual and augmented reality for everything from training employees to gaming as well as new developments in artificial intelligence. This new ecosystem requires expanding and developing existing theories and methods as well as creating new methods for exploring the impacts of these new tools on individuals, organizations and communities. The internet, social networks and smart phones, now embedded in day to day life both generate data, providing new data sources as well as offering new methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation. A commensurate collection of research methods is developing in order to make sense of these new phenomenon, e-Research is a generic term, coined to describe innovations in research methods that are emerging to take advantage of this new and vastly more powerful digital eco-system. Key features of these next generation of distributed digital technologies are the development of interoperable, scalable computational tools that make it possible for researchers to locate, access, share, aggregate, manipulate and visualize digital data seamlessly across the Internet on a scale previously unimaginable. This first issue of 2020, volume 39 (1) features four articles exploring e-Research or digital research methods for enhancing and expanding our collective understanding of how to maximize our research potentials within and allied to these new systems.

Research has found that virtual environments can be effectively used as an alternative to in vivo or imaginal exposure. However, research has yet to compare the costs and benefits of different platforms, such as virtual reality and 360° video, for creating virtual environments. The current qualitative study compares the experiences of veterans with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder as they interact with a virtual grocery store environment. Participants were randomly assigned to experience the virtual reality (n = 7) or 360° video (n = 5) environments. After experiencing the virtual environments, the participants were interviewed about their perceptions of immersion, feasibility, and acceptability of the modality. Portions of the interviews are presented along with recommendations for clinical researchers seeking to use virtual technology with clinical treatments.","PeriodicalId":46115,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN SERVICES","volume":"38 1","pages":"288 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228835.2019.1692760","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48772922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the participatory design approach for technology development, a qualitative study was designed to capture and triangulate relevant knowledge and opinions from resource parents, training instructors, and parenting education experts. The most prevalent themes emerging among these stakeholder groups included the need for a simple app interface and the potential for the app to (1) cultivate connection, affirmation, and combat resource parent feelings of isolation; (2) reinforce in-class knowledge and support skill practice at home; and (3) monitor resource parent, child, and family progress over time. Detailed findings are presented, including direct quotes from focus group and interview participants and elaboration on the prevalent themes, which may benefit others in the early stages of human services app design and contribute to the creation of guidelines for the development of technology-based human services interventions.","PeriodicalId":46115,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN SERVICES","volume":"37 1","pages":"362 - 394"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228835.2019.1666781","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43365686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article describes a study in which a social mobile application was developed for job coaches and employees and implemented in a pilot phase. The aim of the mobile application was to provide a better communication between employees and their job coaches and to provide more up-to-date information about the organization. The application consisted of a personal web environment and app with vacancies, personal news, events, tips, and promotions. A qualitative methodology was used in the form of focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of this study show that the participants are partly positive about the social mobile application. It can be concluded that the use of mobile technologies can be beneficial in a range of human services practice settings for both professionals and clients and, therefore, requires more attention from the academic field to focus on this relatively new but promising theme.","PeriodicalId":46115,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN SERVICES","volume":"37 1","pages":"159 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228835.2019.1626788","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46982233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
