Climate change and health: rethinking public health messaging for wildfire smoke and extreme heat co-exposures.

With the growing climate change crisis, public health agencies and practitioners must increasingly develop guidance documents addressing the public health risks and protective measures associated with multi-hazard events. Our Policy and Practice Review aims to assess current public health guidance and related messaging about co-exposure to wildfire smoke and extreme heat and recommend strengthened messaging to better protect people from these climate-sensitive hazards. We reviewed public health messaging published by governmental agencies between January 2013 and May 2023 in Canada and the United States.

Assessing Writing Motivation: a Systematic Review of K-5 Students' Self-Reports.

Unlabelled: For attaining success in writing, motivation is essential. Crucially, instruction is dependent on knowing the student's capabilities and inner drives.

Managing Alaska's Road-Dust Problem: A Model for Road Dust-Impacted Regions.

Poor air quality in Alaska's remote communities due to road dust is one of the top environmental concerns of residents in these communities. Most communities are disconnected from the road network, with community roads that are predominantly unpaved. In Alaska, high costs limit widespread paving of roads, leaving communities to rely on alternative dust control strategies.

Adaptive and Effortful Control and Academic Self-efficacy Beliefs on Achievement: A Longitudinal Study of 1 through 3 Graders.

The linkages between self-regulatory processes and achievement were examined across three years in 733 children beginning at 1(st) grade (M = 6.57 years, SD = .39 at 1(st) grade) who were identified as lower achieving in literacy.
