Breastfeeding moderates the association between family socioeconomic status and child behavior scores
Background Children living in low socioeconomic status (SES) environments are more likely to develop behavior problems. Breastfeeding is one behavior that has been positively linked to mental health throughout childhood. We investigated whether breastfeeding modifies the association between low SES and behavior problems. Methods We studied a subset of the Canadian CHILD cohort ( N = 2,342). Lower SES ( n = 592) was defined as one or more of: (1) …
Criminal legal system contact in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (Fasd)
People with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) often receive inadequate supports, which can lead to an increased risk of becoming involved in the criminal legal system (CLS). This study compared the needs of people with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)/FASD with and without CLS contact and examined patterns of intervention recommendations across groups. Data was drawn from the Canadian National FASD Database and included 544 people with PAE/FA…
Tabletop role playing games as a way forward with structurally marginalized youth
TTRPGs are experiencing a cultural renaissance, surging in popularity. • TTRPGs have evolved into safe spaces embraced by structurally marginalized youth. • TTRPGs provide a less-intimidating, youth-driven approach to engagement. • TTRPGs are used to promote growth, prepare for therapy, and to deliver intervention. • Amid anti-trans discourse, TTRPGs provide safe spaces for growth and acceptance. Tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) are experienci…

Advancing an ethical imperative for collaborative approaches to evaluation with low incidence and underserved communities
This practice article advances an ethical imperative for guiding collaborative approaches to evaluation with low incidence and underserved communities. We describe our evaluation processes for building transformative partnerships during a DeafBlind Support Services pilot program evaluation in Western Canada using collaborative approaches to evaluation. This program was designed to enable adults living with dual sensory loss to experience self-det…
Client Perceptions of an Fasd-Informed Indigenous Restorative Justice Program
Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) can experience multiple layers of adversity that increase vulnerability to justice involvement. Given the systemic overrepresentation of Indigenous Peoples in the justice system, community-based interventions are important for supporting Indigenous individuals with FASD who are justice-involved, yet little is known about individual experiences with such interventions. In this community-based…
Understanding the needs of justice‐involved adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in an Indigenous community
Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) experience a range of neurodevelopmental challenges, often compounded by social and environmental adversity. One of the most concerning outcomes that can be associated with FASD is involvement in the justice system, where individuals with FASD are vastly over‐represented. Individuals with FASD who are both justice‐involved and Indigenous experience added layers of marginalization. In this co…
Resistance to Antisocial Peers in Adolescents Found Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder
There has been a recent theoretical shift toward the inclusion of protective factors within risk assessment. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence surrounding this practice in unique forensic populations. Using a long-term retrospective design, we examined the predictive and incremental validity of the protective factor resistance to antisocial peers and the Violence Risk Appraisal Guide—Revised in 119 individuals who were found Not Crim…
Population-Based Teacher-Rated Assessment of Anxiety Among Canadian Kindergarten Children
Despite anxiety being a prevalent mental health problem in children, little data exist on the pervasiveness and levels of anxiety symptoms in kindergarteners. Data from the Early Development Instrument, a teacher-completed, population-level measure of child development, were collected across Canada from 2004 to 2015. The final analytic sample consisted of 974,319 children of whom 2.6% were classified as "highly anxious". Compared to children who …
Spatial distribution of human capital in Romania
Human capital reflects the knowledge, competencies, and health people invest in and accumulate throughout their lives. Therefore, investing in people's health, education, and skills is essential to developing human capital. The evaluation of human capital is very important for understanding the premises for future development at a territorial level and the impact that different development trajectories may have on economic performance and populat…
Resilience Resources and Emotional and Behavioral Functioning Among Youth and Young Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Using Photovoice to Explore Teen Parents’ Perspectives on Raising Healthy Children
Given the unique challenges and strengths of teen parents, specialized supports are needed to help teen families reach their full potential. This study explored, from the perspectives of teen parents involved in a supportive housing program, what helps teen parents raise their children in healthy ways. Aligned with a community-based participatory research approach, we used the photovoice method. Two 6-month rounds of photovoice were conducted, du…
Building School Capacity to Support Students with Complex Needs Through the Wellness, Resiliency, and Partnerships (WRaP) Project
Schools across the province of Alberta are increasingly diverse in terms of student backgrounds, circumstances, and needs (Alberta Education, 2017). In order to respond to the needs of a diverse student population, many schools are providing supports targeted to children and youth identified as being at risk for poor outcomes. The Wellness, Resiliency, and Partnerships (WRaP) project, initiated in 2009, was born out of recognition for the need to…
Using developmental evaluation and community-based participatory research to develop a model of supportive housing
Capturing the experiences of Fasd prevention workers through quilting
Visual data collection methods are gaining momentum in the field of qualitative research because of their ability to document the social world and experiences of participants (Banks, 2001; Rose, 2001. This study employed quilting as a data collection method to capture the experiences of 47 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) prevention workers in the Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP) across Alberta. Specifically, this article focuses on t…

Following a description of the system change initiative and evaluation context, an account of key challenges for one outcome is pres…
Toward Better Collaboration in the Education of Students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
This exploratory study addresses the call for an increased presence of key stakeholders’perspectives in educational research involving students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) (Duquette, Stodel, Fullarton, & Hagglund, 2006a). Specifically, greater understandings are necessary to support the educational success of students with FASDs. The analysis of 11 focus groups and 3 interviews with teachers, administrators, caregivers, and alli…
Effective Prevention of Adolescent Substance Abuse – Educational versus Deterrent Approaches
Substance abuse, especially among adolescents, has long been an important issue in society. In light of the adverse impact of substance abuse, scholars, educators, and policy-makers have proposed different approaches to prevent and reduce such abuse. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the two prominent approaches—educational and deterrent—in preventing and reducing adolescent substance abuse. The educational approach (e.g., school-based…
