“…This study adds further impetus to the extant literature by exploring and analyzing the experts' perspectives. Theorization of success is a common practice in many disciplines, such as law, justice and global development (Saeed, 2008), organizational behavior (Heslin, 2005), public health and health communication (Dwerryhouse et al, 2020;King and Crisp, 2021), entrepreneurship (Razmus and Laguna, 2018) and business and management (Gorgievski et al, 2011). Success is not yet formally conceptualized in social marketing practice, identifying a significant research gap.…”

Purpose Given the lack of understanding of social marketing success in theory and practice, this study aims to investigate how social marketing experts conceptualize success. Design/methodology/approach In this qualitative study, the authors conducted an open-ended online questionnaire with 48 worldwide social marketing experts, most with more than 20 years of experience in the field. The authors analyzed data using topic modeling, a machine-learning method that groups responses/terms into cluster topics based on similarities. Keywords in each topic served to generate themes for discussion. Findings While behavior change is mentioned as paramount to conceptualizing success, participants prefer to use more tangible and less complex forms to define/measure success, such as campaign recall uptick. In addition, lack of funding was considered an important factor in measuring success. This study provides a two-stage taxonomy to better understand success in social marketing. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to conceptualize success in social marketing practice.

Background The Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway, a joint health and criminal justice initiative across England and Wales, aims to support rehabilitation of individuals with a likely diagnosis of personality disorder. Pathways Enhanced Resettlement Services (PERS) is an OPD service currently operating in five open prisons in England, which aims to support people at high risk of being returned to closed conditions or reoffending in the community after release. We aimed to understand service user and staff experiences of PERS. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with ten staff and nine service users. We then conducted a reflexive thematic analysis generating three themes. Results The three themes identified were: (1) A shock to the system, describing the challenges for service users posed by the liminal space of open prison (between higher security conditions and the community); and how in this context PERS might be viewed with suspicion but was for interviewees ultimately a space where they felt valued. (2) We've got some understanding of their journey; staff and service users described PERS staff developing more trusting relationships with service users than non-PERS staff, where service users felt understood and supported, practically and emotionally; and (3) internal states can be real barriers to progression; PERS staff supported service users to understand and overcome barriers, through enabling self-reflection, and tailoring support to times of greater stress, including key milestones such as parole boards or periods of trial leave. Conclusions Staff and service users feel PERS provides support to progress through open prison, through development of positive trusting relationships and individualised support in a challenging context where such support was not otherwise available.

The offender personality disorder (OPD) Pathway is a network of services across prison, health and community settings in England and Wales providing psychological support for high-risk people who have offended and are thought to have a personality disorder. As part of a national evaluation of the Pathway, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 36 Pathway users to determine their views about their experiences in these services; and whether and how these impacted on their psychological wellbeing. Framework analysis was used to analyze the data. Participants reported positive therapeutic relationships with staff; improved psychological wellbeing; and for some, a shift away from antisocial toward more pro-social identities. They also described a negative impact of staff turnover and uncertainty about the role of prison officers and psychologists within prison services. Pathway services are able to engage individuals who have not previously engaged with services. Constancy of staff is fundamental to the Pathway.
