An interactive tool has been developed to help design oral solid dosage form formulations. The tool enables quantitative explorations and comparisons of physical, bulk, and mechanical properties, and takes into account functional characteristics as well. In this manner, comparisons and clustering of both excipients and APIs can be carried out.

Article Synopsis
- - Integrated youth services (IYS) like Foundry are a key response to the youth mental health and substance use crisis in Canada, expanding to 11 physical centers and adding virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - The study analyzed data from 23,749 unique youth (ages 12-24) who accessed services between April 2018 and March 2021, revealing a consistent rate of high distress and poor self-rated mental health regardless of the pandemic.
- - Findings indicate a significant increase (65%) in clients during the study period, emphasizing the importance of youth-centered practices for future service improvements within IYS.
Integrating the voices of service users and providers in the design and delivery of health services increases the acceptability, relevance, and effectiveness of services. Such efforts are particularly important for youth opioid use treatments and services, which have failed to consider the unique needs of youth and families. Applying community-based participatory research (CBPR) and co-design can facilitate this process by contextualizing service user experiences at individual and community levels and supporting the collaborative design of innovative solutions for improving care.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) now known as COVID-19 changed the world and the outdoor adventure and experiential education (OAEE) fields were not immune. These changes significantly impacted various OAEE programs in multiple ways and at different levels of intensity. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the OAEE fields and identify how OAEE organizations have responded to those impacts.
