Association between quality of life before an acute pain event and the development of chronic pain-related disability
Developing a quality standard for youth experiencing mental health and/or substance use concerns in emergency department settings
Background: Mental health and substance use disorders affect more than 1 billion people globally and are the leading cause of disability in children and youth (under the age of 25). While mild to moderate mental health and/or substance use (MHSU) concerns are often best addressed in community, youth have increasingly relied on emergency departments (EDs) to address their MHSU needs, contributing to ED overcrowding. For instance, in Canada, there …
The effect of take-home naloxone kits on opioid-related deaths in Alberta, Canada
Changes in Cannabis-Related Health Care Use in Alberta After Cannabis Legalization Between 2018 and 2022
Overdiagnosis and overuse of diagnostic and screening tests in low-income and middle-income countries
OBJECTIVE: Overdiagnosis and overuse of healthcare services harm individuals, take resources that could be used to address underuse, and threaten the sustainability of health systems. These problems are attracting increasing attention in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Unaware of any review of relevant evidence, we conducted a scoping review of the evidence around overdiagnosis and overuse of diagnostic and screening tests in LMIC…

Introduction: Vulnerably housed individuals, especially those experiencing homelessness, have higher acute care use compared with the general population. Despite available primary care and social services, many face significant challenges accessing needed services. Connect 2 Care (C2C) is a novel transitional case management program that includes registered nurses and health navigators with complementary expertise in chronic disease management, m…
External Validation of Aspect (Algorithm for Suspected Pulmonary Embolism Confirmation and Treatment)
BACKGROUND: Administrative health care databases are increasingly being used to study pulmonary embolism (PE), but the validity of single PE codes is variable. Using data from Quebec, Canada, we developed ASPECT (Algorithm for Suspected Pulmonary Embolism Confirmation and Treatment), combining 3 components to ascertain confirmed PE: emergency department (ED) diagnoses, imaging codes, and dispensed prescriptions or hospital diagnoses. Herein, we u…
Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation
Health Policy & Planning doi: 10.1093/heapol/czx126 The funding statement for this article has been updated to contain the following acknowledgement: Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi acknowledges funding from a NRS Senior Clinical Fellowship (SCAF/15/02), the UK Medical Research Council (MC_UU_12017/13 & MC_UU_12017/15) and the Scottish Government Chief Scientist Office (SPHSU13 & SPHSU15).
Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation
The availability of evidence-based guidelines does not ensure their implementation and use in clinical practice or policy making. Inequities in health have been defined as those inequalities within or between populations that are avoidable, unnecessary and also unjust and unfair. Evidence-based clinical practice and public health guidelines ('guidelines') can be used to target health inequities experienced by disadvantaged populations, although g…
