The role of navigation services in supporting mental health and addictions care transitions: A qualitative exploration of perspectives from transitional-aged youth, family, and service providers (part 2).

Introduction: Transitional-aged youth (TAY) are at a vulnerable stage of their development in which mental health and/or addiction (MHA) issues tend to manifest and/or increase in severity. These youth also tend to find themselves caught in the gap between child and adult MHA services, often resulting in sub-optimal access to and transition through MHA services. Navigation services may be one way to close this and other system gaps and improve service utilization and supports for TAY.

Experiences of barriers and facilitators in mental health care transitions: A qualitative exploration of perspectives from transitional-aged youth, family, and service providers (part 1).

Introduction: Transitional-aged youth (TAY) are at a vulnerable stage of their development in which mental health and/or addiction (MHA) issues tend to manifest and/or increase in severity. TAY also tend to find themselves subject to multiple care transitions, often resulting in sub-optimal access to MHA services. The objective of this study was to explore the perspectives of TAY, family members, and system providers regarding the supports needed by TAY and their families during transitions through MHA care.

The use of sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMARTs) in physical activity interventions: a systematic review.

Background: Physical activity (PA) is often the cornerstone in risk-reduction interventions for the prevention and treatment of many chronic health conditions. PA interventions are inherently multi-dimensional and complex in nature. Thus, study designs used in the evaluation of PA interventions must be adaptive to intervention components and individual capacities.

A gut-derived produces the novel nisin variant designated nisin G and inhibits in a model of the human distal colon microbiome.

is a human pathogen associated with intestinal conditions including colorectal cancer. Screening for gut-derived strains that exhibit anti-. activity revealed DPC6487 as a strain of interest.

Validity evidence for endoscopic ultrasound competency assessment tools: Systematic review.

Competent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) performance requires a combination of technical, cognitive, and non-technical skills. Direct observation assessment tools can be employed to enhance learning and ascertain clinical competence; however, there is a need to systematically evaluate validity evidence supporting their use. We aimed to evaluate the validity evidence of competency assessment tools for EUS and examine their educational utility.
