Measuring the efficacy of a four-year longitudinal medical school disabilities curriculum
PURPOSE: Despite efforts to implement disabilities curriculum into the four years of undergraduate medical education (UME), the absence of a mandated, comprehensive, longitudinal curriculum likely contributes to health disparities experienced by people with disabilities (PWD). We examine the impact of the first mandated four-year medical school disabilities curriculum on five cohorts of allopathic medical students' knowledge, confidence, and atti…
The Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Child and Family Health Hubs for Migrant Families
Migrant women and children can face significant barriers when accessing child and family health services. Child and family health hubs (hubs) represent a potential solution to simplify pathways between maternity, child, and social care services for migrant populations. However, how these hubs operate specifically for migrants remains underexplored. Our study addresses this gap by exploring what helps and hinders the establishment and delivery of …
The Building Blocks for Successful Hub Implementation for Migrant and Refugee Families and Their Children in the First 2000 Days of Life
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Migrant and refugee women, families, and their children can experience significant language, cultural, and psychosocial barriers to engage with child and family services. Integrated child and family health Hubs are increasingly promoted as a potential solution to address access barriers; however, there is scant literature on how to best implement them with migrant and refugee populations. Our aim was to explore with serv…
Improving Access to Early Childhood Developmental Surveillance for Children from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (Cald) Background”
Integration supported vulnerable families from CALD backgrounds to access developmental surveillance through child and family health services but required flexibility and adjustments by all involved
Aboriginal Perspectives on Social-Emotional Competence in Early Childhood
Gaining an understanding of how best to support the development of Aboriginal children is important in promoting positive social, emotional, educational, and health outcomes. The purpose of the current study was to identify the most important elements of healthy development for Aboriginal children, with a particular focus on social-emotional development. Focus groups were conducted with 37 Aboriginal Canadians, including parents, service provider…
Race-, Age-, and Anatomic Site-Specific Gender Differences in Cutaneous Melanoma Suggest Differential Mechanisms of Early- and Late-Onset Melanoma
In order to explore melanoma risk factors through gender-, age-, race-, and site-specific incidence rates, malignant melanoma cases from the Caucasian whites and non-whites were retrieved from the US SEER database. Age-standardized, age-, and site-specific tumor rates were calculated. All races and both genders showed positive annual average percentage changes (AAPCs) over the years, but AAPCs varied at different body sites, with men's trunk exhi…
De-identified genomic data sharing
When community forestry meets Redd
Tanzania has a progressive forest policy and legal jurisdiction for land and natural resource tenure, coupled with a strong decentralisation process that mandates village institutions with forest management responsibilities. Participatory forest management (PFM) has been a central part of government as well as a donor focus in the forest sector since the early 1990s. Numerous studies have been carried out by Tanzanian and international researcher…

KP provides a road map for community-based research teams to navigate through the early phase of research development
A comparison of professionals' and patients' understanding of asthma
Despite an increase in the provision of services to patients with asthma, morbidity from the disease remains high. Recent research (outside asthma) has raised the possibility that patients may develop a conceptualisation of illnesses which is not entirely compatible with the prevailing biomedical view. This paper compares the way in which health care professionals and patients with asthma described various aspects of the illness, using an approac…
The identification of children with developmental coordination disorder by class and physical education teachers
Background. Children diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) have difficulty performing coordinated movements. In addition, these children have been found to have long-term social, emotional, behavioural and academic problems. Early identification is therefore important, and teachers may be very useful in this identification process.Aims. In the present study, the ability of physical education and class teachers to identify child…
