Development and implementation of measurement-based care for children and youth with complex mental and neurodevelopmental needs
This novel implementation of MBC provides important insights for MBC in pediatric populations with high complexity. Early and ongoing engagement of both clinicians and families is important to success, which is also closely tied to the degree to which MBC is integrated into care processes. MBC remains necessary to guide clinical care and treatment planning for children with complex, intersecting needs. It is also helpful when evaluating new progr…
Characterizing Project Echo Autism Case Recommendations and Implementation
Background: The Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) model creates virtual communities to help mitigate the barriers to treating complex conditions, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD; autism). ECHO Ontario Autism was developed to build province-wide capacity to diagnose autism by building community providers' skills; and 2) to improve provider understanding and confidence around autism and available therapies and supports. ECHO On…
Developing a Conceptual Model of Compassion in Healthcare Transitions
Compassion stands as a fundamental element in pediatric healthcare. Compassionate care is critical in delivering treatments and also in shaping the holistic experience of patients and their families. Yet, a unified understanding of what constitutes compassion from the perspectives and preferences of pediatric patients and their families is unknown. In particular, the significance of compassionate care during transitions from pediatric to adult he…
Establishing Effective Patient Engagement Through a Terms of Reference to Foster Inclusivity and Empowerment in Research
Adherence to antipsychotic laboratory monitoring guidelines in children and youth
Most children initiating antipsychotic therapy do not receive guideline-recommended metabolic laboratory monitoring. Further research is needed to understand reasons for poor guideline adherence and the role of clinician training and collaborative service models in promoting best monitoring practices
Understanding how behaviour therapists use autism spectrum disorder diagnostic information for intervention planning
Understanding how behaviour therapists incorporate diagnostic assessments into their intervention planning can help to streamline assessment procedures and facilitate communication. The objectives are to identify what information from the diagnostic assessment is received by behaviour therapists and which assessment elements are most important and relevant for treatment planning. Behaviour therapists, identified through Ontario registries, were s…
Geographic variation and sociodemographic correlates of prescription psychotropic drug use among children and youth in Ontario, Canada
We found significant variation in psychotropic dispensing among young Ontarians. Targeted investment in regions with long wait times for publicly-funded non-pharmacological interventions and novel collaborative service models may minimize variability and promote best practices in using psychotropics among children and youth
I have eight different files at eight different places”
Introduction: Most of the existing research on the transition from pediatric-to-adult care has focused on healthcare and social care settings as a homogenous group of services, without a specific focus on community or rehabilitation services. As such, the facilitators and barriers to implementing and sustaining these services during the transition from pediatric to adult care are not well established. An understanding of such factors may help to …
Characterizing Changes in Screen Time During the Covid-19 Pandemic School Closures in Canada and Its Perceived Impact on Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in screen time for children and families. Traditionally, screen time has been associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of these outcomes. The primary objectives of this study were to (1) characterize the change in screen time during COVID-19 school closures for children with ASD, and (2) examine the parent perce…
