Telephone-based group mental health support for older adults in central Canada
Background: Though experiences of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and social isolation are prevalent among older adults, treatment access is limited. In central Canada, based on participatory program development methods, our team of researchers, clinical psychologists, and community experts have developed and piloted a novel 6-session telephone-based group intervention called The CONNECT Program, based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitm…
A Survey of Parents’ Perspective of Receiving a Developmental Diagnosis for Their Child
Receiving a diagnosis, such as cerebral palsy (CP), can have lasting impacts on caregivers and families.

This study aimed to understand the experience of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) or similar conditions when receiving a diagnosis for their child.: Caregivers of children and …
Children with Cerebral Palsy Across the Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels Requiring Orthopaedic Surgery
The findings identify the importance of recognizing the needs of parents and suggest opportunities for collaboration between the healthcare team and families in caring for children across the spectrum of functional mobility and orthopaedic procedures

This is much later than currently recommended. This study aimed to examine current practices and beliefs of pediatricians in the province related to CP and CP diagnosis. Methods: All pediatricians and subspecialty pediatricians in the province were invited to participate in two …

This paper discusses the findings of the qualitative arm of the study that collected data through interviews with older adults having histories of abuse, their family members and service p…
Privacy and Family Communication about Genetic Cancer Risk

More specifically, this study utilizes family communication patterns theory and communication privacy management theory to investigate the role of family communication and privacy management in women’s communication about genetic cancer risk with family members. Results found signifi…
Attitudes toward genetic testing of Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite families with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND. We had the unique opportunity to study families with cystic fibrosis (CF) from an interrelated Amish-Mennonite kindred and from an isolated Hutterite kindred. METHODS. While obtaining blood for DNA linkage analysis to help find the CF gene, we asked family members to answer a questionnaire about attitudes and feelings toward genetic testing. The questionnaire was also administered to families receiving care at the University of Roches…
