An answer will depend on lots of things. What the service is and the health support policies of where you are. Is this a critical service necessary for care, a useful service for diagnostics, or a service that while useful is not necessary (chiropractics). Is it one that will be funded by national, regional, or local health agencies or one the patient him or herself need to pay for? Does the service to be provided target a specific group (seniors, children, etc.) or is it something of potential utility for the population-at-large?

Answering those questions will help give you the focus you need for the market work you wish to do.

Do small trade companies and small stores in your countries are threatened by developing large-scale stores through hypermarkets?

In some countries where the model of the classical trade sector prevailed, in which there were many small stores, including specialized for specific product and service offerings serving local markets of various customer segments, the emergence of large-scale stores, discount stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets proved to be a threat to existing small local stores.

Many small shops ceased to function. This could have an adverse effect on the local labor market. How is this rated in your countries?

Are the confederations developing the development of small local stores developed? Are these small local stores affiliated, economic chambers are set up to defend this trade segment in your countries?

Do small trade companies and small stores in your countries are threatened by developing large-scale stores through hypermarkets?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

John Tredinnick-Rowe

As there is currently a high demand for digital health services to replace existing face-to-face health care in many areas of medicine. I wanted to start a discussion about researchers' experiences of doing this individually, and of the research base that might offer examples of best practice.

Questions to consider:

What are the principles for moving a face-to-face service online in medicine?
What research had been conducted in this area?
Are there any generic frameworks or guidance around how to transition a face-to-face intervention online?

All responses are welcome.

So far, in the UK, I would recommendation guidance from Trisha Greenhalgh who has produced a paper about video consultation, including a very useful decision-making tool. https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m1182

How to study the dynamics of social marginalization (DoM)

S A Hamed Hosseini

Researching DoM is about exploring how a group of people is socially marginalized and what are the main social mechanisms of such a process. In this section, I attempt to develop a preliminary definition of ‘social marginalization’ as a socio-anthropological concept as well as a general research and debate framework that needs to be adapted and contextualized depending on the social context of the study.

Definition:

Social Marginalization happens when a group of people are relatively deprived of having equal and adequate opportunity to determine their relationships autonomously ( in any aspect of social life) with the members of the broader society.

This process is historical, can be inter- and/or intra- group.
Social marginalization has both subjective and objective dimensions.
The mechanisms that facilitate and maintain marginalization are both ideational and material.
Social marginalization is usually legitimized ideologically, culturally, and cognitively. Both the marginalized and mainstream may share the same mentalities that justify such a process.
Social marginalization is usually sustained through policies and laws; underlying these laws are ideological mentalities often justified in the name of science, bureaucracy, efficiency, growth, ethics, patriotism, and religion.
