Exploring the Presenting Problems and Services Received by Youth with Diverse Mental Health Presentations in Integrated Youth Mental Health Services Across Canada
Variability in service delivery confirms the need for greater standardization of core service offerings across sites. Future research should assess the appropriateness of services for different presentations to ensure equitable support is provided for all youth
Engaging with care in an early intervention for psychosis program
Language is an important aspect of communication and language status is known to impact healthcare accessibility, its perceived suitability, and outcomes. However, its influence on treatment engagement and/or disengagement is unknown. Our study therefore sought to investigate the impact of language on service disengagement in an early intervention psychosis program in Montreal, Quebec (a province with French as the official language). We aimed to…
Similar and different? A cross-cultural comparison of the prevalence, course of and factors associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors in first-episode psychosis in Chennai, India and Montreal, C…
BACKGROUND: Data from high-income countries (HICs) show a high risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in first-episode psychosis (FEP). It is unknown, however, whether rates and associated factors differ in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). AIMS: We therefore aimed to compare the 2-year course of STBs and associated factors in persons with FEP treated in two similarly structured early intervention services in Chennai, India and Mo…
Experiences of a Digital Mental Health Intervention from the Perspectives of Young People Recovering from First-Episode Psychosis
Horyzons-Canada was well received, with participants wanting it to grow in scale, accessibility, and functionality
Generalizing Duchenne to sad expressions with binocular rivalry and perception ratings
Discrete emotion theories emphasize the modularity of facial expressions, while functionalist theories suggest that a single facial action may have a common meaning across expressions. Smiles involving the Duchenne marker, eye constriction causing crow's feet, are perceived as intensely positive and sincere. To test whether the Duchenne marker is a general index of intensity and sincerity, we contrasted positive and negative expressions with and …
Scrapbook interviewing and children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Interviewing children about their physical activity (PA) experiences can be a challenging research undertaking. A new visual research method in qualitative research, scrapbook interviewing, was created to explore the PA experiences of children. Six children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder shared their PA stories in semi-structured interviews through the use of a PA scrapbook. A comparison of a consecutive and concurrent scrapbook in…
The role of self-esteem for outcome in first-episode psychosis
Background: Self-esteem may be associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including psychotic disorders. However, the relationship between self-esteem and outcome in psychosis has not been adequately examined, especially early in the course of the illness. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the impact of self-esteem in individuals who presented for treatment of a first episode of psychosis on outcome early in the course of the i…
The Structural Neural Substrates of Persistent Negative Symptoms in First-Episode of Non-Affective Psychosis
Neural substrates of PNS are evident in FEP patients. A better understanding of the neural etiology of PNS may encourage the search for new medications and/or alternative treatments to better help those affected
