Impact of no publicly accessible prenatal education programming on patients and their care providers: a descriptive qualitative study in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Objective: Patients in Nova Scotia do not have access to public prenatal education programming. This study aimed to explore whether care providers find patients are uninformed or misinformed, and the impact of that on patients and their care providers with a focus on clinical outcomes, time, resources and informed decision-making.

Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 care providers around Halifax and Cape Breton.

A secondary mixed methods analysis examining midwives' responses regarding patient sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) disclosure.

Objective: Recent research suggests that midwives generally have positive attitudes towards sexual and gender minority (SGM) clients; however, little research has examined whether and how these attitudes translate into specific clinical practices. In this study, we performed a secondary mixed methods analysis to examine midwives' beliefs and practices regarding the importance of asking and knowing their patients' sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

Methods: A confidential, anonymous paper survey was mailed to all midwifery practice groups (n = 131) in Ontario, Canada.

Factors influencing ultra-endurance athletes food choices: an adapted food choice questionnaire.

Inadequate nutritional intake has been reported during ultra-endurance training and competition. While substandard nutritional knowledge may contribute to inappropriate nutritional choices, the relationship between these variables is often weak. As such, this study investigated the importance of a range of factors to the food choices of ultra-endurance athletes.

Development and Implementation of a Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire for Ultraendurance Athletes.

The nutritional intake of ultraendurance athletes is often poorly matched with the requirements of the sport. Nutrition knowledge is a mediating factor to food choice that could correct such imbalances. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess the nutrition knowledge of ultraendurance athletes.
