Assessing fidelity of design and training of Making Every Contact Count (MECC) in a mental health inpatient setting.

Background: Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is a public health strategy which strives to enable brief interventions to be implemented through opportunistic healthy lifestyle conversations. In a mental health inpatient setting a bespoke MECC training package has been developed to encourage cascade training through a train the trainer model and to incorporate an additional regional health strategy A Weight Off Your Mind into Core MECC training to provide a focus on healthy weight management. This study evaluated the fidelity of design of MECC in the mental health inpatient setting and fidelity of the training package currently being cascaded across the region.

Associations Between Callous-Unemotional (CU) Traits and Emotion Recognition Abilities in School Children: The Influence of Conduct Problems and Age.

Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are associated with severe conduct problems (CP) in youth. Causal theories for CU traits focus on emotion processing deficits that interfere with empathy development. However, though CU traits are consistently associated with deficits in affective empathy (i.

Enhancing the light yield of He:CF based gaseous detector.

The CYGNO experiment aims to build a large ( m ) directional detector for rare event searches, such as nuclear recoils (NRs) induced by dark matter (DM), such as weakly interactive massive particles (WIMPs). The detector concept comprises a time projection chamber (TPC), filled with a He:CF 60/40 scintillating gas mixture at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, equipped with an amplification stage made of a stack of three gas electron multipliers (GEMs) which are coupled to an optical readout. The latter consists in scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras and photomultipliers tubes (PMTs).

Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a self-directed online psychosocial intervention for women with metastatic breast cancer: Finding My Way-Advanced.

Purpose: Few digital interventions target patients with advanced cancer. Hence, we feasibility-tested Finding My Way-Advanced (FMW-A), a self-guided program for women with metastatic breast cancer.

Methods: A single-site randomised controlled pilot trial was conducted.

Improving water competency among children on the autism spectrum: the AquOTic randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: There is a critical need for evidence-based and manualized interventions targeting water competency including swim and water safety skills tailored to meet the needs of children on the autism spectrum, a group that is at a high risk of drowning. This study examined the efficacy of AquOTic-a 10-week occupational therapy-based aquatic intervention to improve water competency among children on the autism spectrum.

Methods: A total of 37 children on the autism spectrum (ages 5-9 years) were randomized to a waitlist control group ( = 24) or AquOTic intervention group ( = 37; 28 males).
