This systematic review aims to synthesize the qualitative literature on rural older adults' experiences of health-seeking in LMICs as well as explore the factors that influence their experiences during their health-seeking journeys. We searched Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL to identify …
Considering inequities in national dementia strategies
Understanding if and how countries consider inequities in their dementia strategies enables the development of future strategies that adequately target inequities of concern. While most of the strategies mentioned inequities, few included tangible objectives to reduce them. Countries must not only consider inequities at a surface-level; rather, they must put forth actionable objectives that intend to lessen the impact of inequities in the care of…

In Botswana, they rarely benefit from such programmes.A modified Policy Delphi engaged a panel of 22 unemployed and out-of-school young women and eight fron…
Nursing Care Coordination in Primary Healthcare for Patients with Complex Needs
The homogeneity or heterogeneity of patients' complex needs shapes their care trajectory and the intensity of their care coordination needs. As the complexity of these needs grows, so does the necessity to build the care coordinators' capacity for integrated care
Trends in Health Service Use for Canadian Adults With Dementia and Parkinson Disease During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this population-based repeated cross-sectional study in Ontario, Canada, those with dementia, those with PD, and older adults sought hospital care far less than usual, were not admitted to nursing homes, and experienced excess mortality during the first wave of the pandemic. Most services returned to historical levels, but virtual physician visits remained a feature of care. While issues of equity and quality of care are still emerging among p…

Sex differences in the management of persons with dementia following a subnational primary care policy intervention
While the overall quality of care improved after the implementation of the QAP, this study reveals differences in dementia management between men and women. While we identified areas of inequalities in the care received, it is unclear whether this represents inequities in access to care and health outcomes. Future research should focus on better understanding sex and gender-specific needs in dementia to bridge this gap and better inform dementia …
Improving the content validity of the mixed methods appraisal tool
OBJECTIVE: The mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) was developed for critically appraising different study designs. This study aimed to improve the content validity of three of the five categories of studies in the MMAT by identifying relevant methodological criteria for appraising the quality of qualitative, survey, and mixed methods studies. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: First, we performed a literature review to identify critical appraisal tools a…
The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) version 2018 for information professionals and researchers
INTRODUCTION: Appraising the quality of studies included in systematic reviews combining qualitative and quantitative evidence is challenging. To address this challenge, a critical appraisal tool was developed: the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The aim of this paper is to present the enhance ments made to the MMAT. DEVELOPMENT: The MMAT was initially developed in 2006 based on a literature review on systematic reviews combining qualitative…
