Barriers and Facilitators in the Transition From Higher Education to Employment for Students With Disabilities: A Rapid Systematic Review
Despite legislation promoting equal opportunities for people with disabilities in education and employment, evidence suggests that these environments are far from inclusive. While there is a wealth of evidence on the barriers that people with disabilities face in both higher education and the workplace, there is currently a lack of literature that summarizes knowledge on the transition between these two settings. As such, this rapid systematic li…
Moments of meaning: Enacted narratives of occupational engagement within a dementia town
Engagement in meaningful occupation is important to health and well-being. People living with dementia are challenged in engagement due to consequences of their disease and environmental barriers. In Europe, there is increasing interest in addressing these challenges by transforming care services into dementia-friendly contexts such as dementia towns. It is unclear, however, how engagement in occupation occurs within a dementia town. This study a…

Health promotion has generally relied on traditional forms of community planning without including citizens, despite their occupation-based experiences and knowledge about the society in which they live. Acknowledging that it is a challenge for stakeholders to involve citizens in public health planning, this study explores why and how stakeholders might facilitate the involvement of citizens in public health planning as a part of a municipality's…
