Objective: This systematic review aims to examine the conceptualization and measurement of participation among people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and the factors, such as facilitators and barriers, linked to participation in this population.
Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov from inception to July 2022.

Importance: Despite the potential of community-engaged implementation research (CEIR) in developing strategies to accelerate the translation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), there is a noticeable knowledge gap in the current state of CEIR in occupational therapy. A synthesis of the concept, purpose, and operationalization of CEIR is necessary.
Objective: To identify the contexts, purposes, and operationalization of CEIR, focusing on implementation strategies in occupational therapy.
Aim: Increasing evidence suggests that the inclusion of self-identified race in clinical decision algorithms may perpetuate longstanding inequities. Until recently, most pulmonary function tests utilized separate reference equations that are race/ethnicity based.
Purpose: We assess the magnitude and scope of the available literature on the negative impact of race-based pulmonary function prediction equations on relevant outcomes in African Americans with COPD.
Objective: This systematic review aims to examine (1) what components are used in current person-centered goal-setting interventions for adults with health conditions in rehabilitation and (2) the extent to which the engagement of people in their rehabilitation goal setting is encouraged.
Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to November 2020.
Study Selection: Primary inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed articles that evaluated person-centered goal-setting interventions for adults with health conditions in rehabilitation.
Clinical predictive models (CPM) serve to identify and categorize patients into risk categories to assist in treatment and intervention recommendations. Predictive accuracy and practicality of models varies depending on methods used for their development, and should be evaluated. The aim of this study was to summarize currently available CPM for invasive candidiasis, analyze their performance, and assess their suitability for use in clinical decision making.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, The Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception through April 2017.
Purpose: Categorization of the needs of AYA cancer survivors is primarily based on quantitative analyses of epidemiological and observational research. The present study classified the phenomenological experiences of AYA survivors based on their own language.
Methods: A systematic approach for selecting qualitative studies of unmet needs in AYA cancer survivors was used.
A 2012 update of the Beers criteria categorizes selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as potentially inappropriate medications in all older adults based on fall risk. The application of these recommendations, not only to frail nursing home residents, but to all older adults, may lead to changes in health policy or clinical practice with harmful consequences. A systematic review of studies on the association between SSRIs and falls in older adults was conducted to examine the evidence for causation.

Design: Systematic review.
Setting: All studies that measured depression or antidepressant exposure and bone mineral density (BMD).
