“…The existence of such services does not guarantee accessibility or use, but counseling (Chronister, Harley, Aranda, Barr, & Luginbuhl, 2012) and child care (Letourneau et al, 2011), as well as interpretation (Gottlieb & Schrager, 2011) and legal aid (Hampton, Woods, & McKenzie, 2010) service availability contributes to women's safety. Additionally, when available, these services have a positive effect on safety for women residing in northern and rural communities (Dyck, Stickle, & Hardy, 2012) where more physical distance between residents and services is typically found.…”

“…Other aspects of rural living may compound these disempowering conditions. For example, decreased anonymity in cases where women are experiencing domestic violence (Dyck, Stickle, & Hardy, 2012), isolation amidst an ageing community, and health service cutbacks (Ryser & Halseth, 2013), or among First Nations people who report limited access to culturally relevant health services or racism (Wardman, Clement, & Quantz, 2005), may make it that much more difficult for rural residents to seek mental health care.…”

Three mental health approaches with potential relevance to rural Canada were reviewed: telepsychiatry, integrated mental health models, and community-based approaches. These approaches have been evaluated in relation to their cost-effectiveness, comprehensiveness, client-centredness, cultural appropriateness, acceptability, feasibility and fidelity; criteria that may vary amidst rural contexts. Collaborative approaches to care, technologies fully integrated into local health systems, multi-sectoral capacity-building, and further engagement with informal social support networks may be particularly promising strategies in rural communities. More research is required to determine rural mental health pathways among diverse social groups, and further, to establish the acceptability of novel approaches in mental health.

Protecting Anonymity in Rural Locales: The Use of Composite Narratives in Intimate Partner Violence Research

A crucial consideration in the presentation of findings within intimate partner violence (IPV) research is the protection of participant identities. While it is necessary to center survivors’ voices, it is equally important to provide layers of anonymity, especially in smaller rural settings where “everyone knows everyone,” and where it is thus difficult to guarantee confidentiality for interlocutors. One such way to protect identity is the use of composite narratives: extracting data from several interviews and blending narrative details into one individual story that highlights cross-cutting themes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the affordances of using composite narratives in presenting research findings from rural survivors of IPV. In addition to providing necessary anonymity, this paper also illustrates how composite narratives can showcase ethnographic specificity and utilize the methodological concept of “narrative shock” to enhance empathy, awareness, intervention, and training around IPV for a wide audience.
