Resilience and Protective Factors for Mental Health among Indigenous Youth in Canada
Indigenous youth's strength and resilience play a vital role in their well-being and mental health. Protective factors, closely linked to resilience, spanning individual, family, and community levels reinforce positive mental health outcomes. The purpose of the current scoping review was to summarize the available literature that describes resilience and/or protective factors promoting mental health and well-being among Indigenous youth in Canada…
How Advocates Can Support Young Adults Living With Cancer and Their Transition to Palliative Care
While the cancer advocacy community has been pivotal in progressing oncology care, supporting young adults with advanced cancer transitioning to palliative care continues to be a complex challenge. Palliative care services may not be offered by healthcare providers or engaged by young people themselves. This is in the face of the recognized value that palliative care can provide young people and their families. The purpose of this study was to ex…
Engaging in Palliative Care Conversations With Healthcare Providers
What is it like for young adults living with metastatic/advanced cancers to engage in conversations about palliative care with healthcare providers? Often, young people are not introduced to palliative care. Instead, healthcare providers may assume that they are already well-supported, that their symptoms are aptly managed, or that introducing palliative care will somehow spoil any remaining hope they live with. While some of the benefits of pall…

Barriers to and strategies to address Covid-19 testing hesitancy
Various barriers to COVID-19 testing and strategies for mitigating these barriers were identified. Further research to test the efficacy of these strategies is needed to better support testing for COVID-19 by addressing testing hesitancy as part of the broader COVID-19 public health response
Nova Scotia Strong
This study provides insights into Nova Scotians' unique experiences with COVID-19 PHM. Provincial public health experts and government leaders communicated PHM with various levels of success, Nova Scotia Strong, a sentiment of unity and communitarianism that sprang from public response to tragic events. Future work should aim to include under-represented communities to facilitate broader inclusion
Stigma and blame related to Covid-19 pandemic
An expert‐generated tool for assessing policy capacity
“Policy capacity” describes the ability of policy‐making systems to do quality work. Better‐quality policy work leads to more successful policies. There have been limited attempts to operationalize theoretical understanding of policy capacity, resulting in a lack of shared understanding and assessment metrics. In this Delphi study, health policy experts validated an existing multidimensional conceptual framework for policy capacity. Factors that …
Designing an intervention to improve sexual health service use among university undergraduate students
This study details the use of the Behaviour Change Wheel to develop an intervention aimed at improving university students' use of sexual health services. The Behaviour Change Wheel provided a comprehensive framework for integrating multiple sources of data to inform the selection of intervention strategies. Stakeholders can use these strategies to design and implement sexual health service interventions that are feasible within the context of th…
Development and feasibility testing of the Pediatric Emergency Discharge Interaction Coding Scheme
BACKGROUND: Discharge communication is an important aspect of high-quality emergency care. This study addresses the gap in knowledge on how to describe discharge communication in a paediatric emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this feasibility study was to develop and test a coding scheme to characterize discharge communication between health-care providers (HCPs) and caregivers who visit the ED with their children. DESIGN: Th…
Blame, Shame, and Lack of Support
In this research, we examined the experiences of individuals living with obesity, the perceptions of health care providers, and the role of social, institutional, and political structures in the management of obesity. We used feminist poststructuralism as the guiding methodology because it questions everyday practices that many of us take for granted. We identified three key themes across the three participant groups: blame as a devastating relat…
