“Swamped with information”: A qualitative study of family physicians' experiences of managing and applying pandemic-related information
Introduction Providing family physicians (FPs) with the information they need is crucial for their participation in a coordinated pandemic or health emergency response, and to allow them to effectively run their practices. Most pandemic planning documents do not address communication plans specific to FPs. This study describes FPs' experiences and challenges with information management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Methods We conducted …
Family physicians’ perspectives on collaboration challenges between primary care and specialist care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada: A qualitative study
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada had longer wait-times for specialist appointments compared to other Commonwealth countries. During the pandemic, many specialist services were postponed or suspended, impacting access. The purpose of this study was to explore family physicians’ perspectives on specialist care availability during the pandemic and implications for family physician workload and patient management. These experiences can inform f…

In Canada and elsewhere, CMOHs and other public health physicians have articulated their actions as caring for their populations as patients. In order to understand the components of enacted care, this study is a funct…

A total of 183 Australian HREC members completed an online survey. The higher the perceived sensitivity of the study topic, the less likely the study would be approved by an HREC member. HREC members were most likely to appro…

Social Work’s Scope of Practice in Primary Mental Health Care: A Scoping Review
The inclusion of social workers as members of inter-professional primary health-care teams is an asset to health-care delivery by improving access to a broad range of psycho-social and mental health-care services and programmes. This scoping review examined the literature to summarise social work’s scope of practice in the provision of primary mental health care. Five electronic databases were searched within any given year to provide a comprehen…
I Think He Will Have It Throughout His Whole Life: Parent and Youth Perspectives About Childhood Mental Health Problems
Children's mental health (CMH) problems can be long-lasting. Even among children and youth who receive specialized CMH treatment, recurrence of problems is common. It is unknown whether youth and their parents view the possibility of future mental health problems. This has important implications for how CMH services should be delivered. This grounded theory study gained perspectives from youth (aged 12-15 years) who received CMH treatment ( n = 1…

The Resettlement of Central American Men in Canada: From Emotional Distress to Successful Integration
Stress associated with immigration, particularly forced migration, may aggravate men’s emotional distress and reluctance to seek help.

Oestrogen and pregnanediol excretion through childhood, menarche and first ovulation
Urinary oestrogen and pregnanediol values were measured in 24 boys and 38 girls between the ages of 2 and 13 years. Longitudinal studies were conducted on eight girls, two of whom collected for periods of 4 and 5 years which included menarche and in one case establishment of ovulation. Highly sensitive assay methods were developed for measuring the very small amounts of oestrone, oestradiol and oestriol and pregnanediol present in the urine of yo…
The Pig or the Stye: Drink and Poverty in Late Victorian England
In the last third of the nineteenth century, the relationship of poverty and drunkenness became a topic of bitter social controversy. The debate often had hopelessly polarized positions, being reduced in crudest form to a disagreement over whether poverty caused intemperance or the reverse. The very emotionalism and repetition of the argument, while disappointing to the logician, was a clear sign of the deep passions that the question invoked. Wh…
Politics of the Poppy: The Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade, 1874-1916
For almost fifty years the Anglo-Oriental Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade waged an unremitting and ultimately successful war against the drug policies of the British government. The drug that had attracted such romantic intellectuals of the early nineteenth century as De Quincey, Coleridge, and Berlioz held no charms for the British anti-opium movement, but instead was attacked as the agent of a deliberate degradation of the Asian …
