Developing community resilience in the face of COVID-19: case study from the Estrie region, Canada.

The COVID-19 pandemic undeniably impacted population health and several aspects of community organization, including service delivery and social cohesion. Intersectoral collaboration and equity, two key dimensions of community resilience, proved central to an effective and equitable response to the pandemic. Yet the factors that enabled or constrained communities' capacity to enact intersectoral collaboration and equity-focused action in such times of urgency and uncertainty remain poorly understood.

Integrated Community Care Delivered by Public Health-Care and Social-Care Systems: Results from a Realist Synthesis.

Introduction: Integrated community care (ICC) is defined as an interweaving of health-care and social-care interventions deployed in spatial and relational proximity using an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach. Consideration of territory scale and time scale are at the center of ICC practices. Its deployment in public health and social care networks (HSCN) can be complex due to their broad mandate, the complexity of their management, and accountability.

Integrated Community Care Delivered by Public Health Care and Social Care Systems: Protocol for a Realist Synthesis.

Introduction: Integrated Community Care (ICC) is defined as an interweaving of territory scale and time scale health care and social care interventions implemented in proximity (spatial and relational) in an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral manner. However, the deployment of in public health and social care networks can be complex owing to their broad mandate and the complexity of their management and accountability. Therefore, we aim to describe integrated community care in order to shed light on how they work, for whom and in what circumstances.

A Conceptual Framework for Integrated Community Care.

Introduction: The various health and social care services provided in a given local area (i.e., place-based) must not only deliver primary care in proximity to the population, but act upstream on the social determinants of health.

Profiles and mental health correlates of alcohol and illicit drug use in the Canadian population: an exploration of the J-curve hypothesis.

Objective: Alcohol and (or) illicit drug use (AIDU) problems are associated with mental health difficulties, but low-to-moderate alcohol consumption may have mental health benefits, compared with abstinence. Our study aimed to explore the hypothesis of a nonlinear, or J-curve, relation between AIDU profiles and psychological distress, psychiatric disorders, and mental health service use in the general Canadian population.

Methods: Data were collected from a representative sample of the Canadian population (n = 36 984).

Schizophrenia and serious violence: a clinical-profile analysis incorporating impulsivity and substance-use disorders.

Objectives: This study is an exploration of the role of SUD and impulsivity in individuals with schizophrenia who are at higher risk of serious violence (SV).

Methods: Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were performed on a sample of 139 males meeting DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD).

Results: Impulsivity was the main dimension differentiating individuals.

A classification and regression tree for predicting recurrent falling among community-dwelling seniors using home-care services.

Objectives: A prospective, observational study was undertaken to identify risk profiles of subjects regarding the recurrence of falling among community-dwelling seniors using home-care services.

Methods: A convenience sample of 868 community-dwelling older persons, aged 65 years or older, who use home-care services offered by public community-based centres in the province of Québec. Subjects were recruited between 2002 and 2005, assessed for fall-related risk factors, and monitored for prospective falls.

Unlabelled: Birth Order, Behavioural Problems, and the Mother-Child Relationship in Siblings Aged 4 to 11 Years From a 2-Child Family

Objective: This study was designed to define the relation between some sibling characteristics (birth order, sex, and interval between successive births) and some behavioral problems in children, on the one hand, and certain dimensions of the mother-child relationship, on the other hand.

Method: The sample, from National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, included 1,196 families with 2 biological children aged 4 to 11 years. Behavioural problems and dimensions of the mother-child relationship were assessed by mothers.

Sex of victims in maternal filicide.

In many societies, girls are more often killed by their parents than boys. However, not much of this is known in contemporary societies. This study had two main objectives.

Familial overlap between bipolar disorder and psychotic symptoms in a Canadian cohort.

Background: Although they were once considered separate nosologic entities, there is current interest in the etiologic overlap between bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia. A critical issue concerns the familial basis of the overlap, specifically, the possibility of a distinct familial subtype of BD with psychotic features.

Methods: We recruited individuals with BD from the community and compared them with a matched group diagnosed with no mental disorder to confirm familial aggregation for BD, schizophrenia, and psychotic symptoms.
