A summative content analysis
This study examines how homelessness is represented on TikTok. We performed a summative content analysis on the top 200 TikTok videos with the hashtag #homelessness on July 15, 2022. Four main content themes were developed to code the data: (1) content creators giving unhoused people money, food, services, shelter, and/or other forms of support; (2) content creators connecting with unhoused people; (3) content creators sharing their personal expe…
My Day is Already Planned Out Before I Even Get to Choose it”
Voices and experiences of youth aged 12-15 years are rarely heard and prioritized. Understanding their perspectives is essential for tailoring effective mental health interventions and supports. As such, this qualitative study, co-designed with a youth advisory committee (n=7), interviewed 19 youth (aged 12-15 years) to explore their understanding of good mental health. Interviews were analyzed thematically following a reflexive thematic analysis…

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 …
Looking beyond drugs
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive literature exploring the harms associated with illicit substance use among young people who use drugs (YPWUD), the concept of "recovery" among this population has received significantly less attention. Addressing this literature gap can inform efforts to better support YPWUD as they pursue their goals. OBJECTIVE: To examine the qualitative literature on how young people (< 30 years of age) understand and navigate sub…
