Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in 2001, aiming to standardize descriptions of functioning and disability across various health domains, with diverse applications requiring comprehensive understanding for effective implementation.
- An in-person interactive training program on ICF was developed and delivered in Germany, with evaluations conducted through questionnaires to assess workshop organization and knowledge gained, featuring both Likert-scale and open-ended questions for feedback.
- From 2017 to mid-2020, 12 training sessions were held with 191 participants, showing a high interest in the relevance of the content (93.4% agreement), and 82.1% would recommend the training for further development based
The psychosocial health of children and adolescents has been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Containment measures have restricted social development, education and recreational activities, may have increased family conflicts and, in many cases, led to feelings of loneliness, sleep disturbances, symptoms of anxiety and depression. We conducted a systematic review to identify interventions that seek to ameliorate these detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and to build resilience in children and adolescents.

However, there is no consensus on which indicators should be included in predictions, prognostic algorithms, or management strategies for community-based mental health promotion and prevention approaches. Therefore, this scoping review provides an overview of relevant community-level indicators for mental health in the general as well as risk populations in a European context.

- The study investigates the link between genetic factors, specifically TGF polymorphisms, and mandibular retrognathism among German children and adolescents.
- A total of 146 participants aged 8 to 18 were analyzed, distinguishing between retrognathic (mandible positioned further back) and orthognathic (proper alignment) groups using cephalometric measurements.
- The research found that the rs3087465 polymorphism in the TGF gene is associated with a lower risk of developing mandibular retrognathism, whereas no significant associations were noted for the other polymorphisms or haplotypes studied.
The aim of this systematic review of systematic reviews was to identify, summarise, and synthesise the available evidence of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) on the preventative and therapeutic psychological and physical effects of forest-based interventions. Both bibliographic databases and grey literature sources were searched for SRs and MAs published until May 2020. Eight databases were searched for relevant articles: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, CiNii, EBSCO, and Scopus.
