Evaluation of an Autism Training in a Much-Needed Context: The Case of France.

Background: Autistic people in France have called for community education to reduce autism stigma. As such, training is needed to help university students appreciate autistic peers and autistic people they may work with in their future careers.

Methods: We adapted an autistic-affirming training from a training developed in other cultural contexts and evaluated it with 107 university students in France using a pretest-post-test design.

What barriers could impede access to mental health services for children and adolescents in Africa? A scoping review.

Background: Few studies have examined the mental health needs of African children and teenagers. Based on this gap, this scoping review aims to identify barriers to mental health services, treatments and services sought, and where mental health services are received.

Methods: To pursue the stated objectives, we searched the following databases a) PsycINFO, b) CINAHL, c) Medline, and d) Web of Science.

Assessing Autism Knowledge Across the Global Landscape Using the ASK-Q.

Substantial variability exists with regard to autism service provision around the world. Service disparities observed in many low- and middle-income countries may be driven, in part, by limited autism knowledge; however, measurement limitations have made it difficult to quantify autism knowledge across countries. The current study uses the autism stigma and knowledge questionnaire (ASK-Q) to quantify autism knowledge and stigma between different countries and demographics.

Psychological distress in the workplace: The indirect contribution of work organization conditions to work performance.

Background: Psychological distress affects between 5 and 27% of the general population [1]. Workers facing stressful work conditions are especially at high risk for experiencing psychological distress [1].

Objectives: To evaluate the association between work organization conditions and work performance via psychological distress.

A multilevel analysis of the role personality play between work organization conditions and psychological distress.

Background: Psychological distress in the workplace is usually attributed to work-related variables as well as non-work-related variables. Individuals working in the same organization can differ in terms of their appraisal of work-related stressors and coping strategies used to face them. The present study aims to evaluate the moderating role personality plays between work organizations conditions and psychological distress in a large sample of Canadian participants working in various occupations and workplaces.

Depressive symptoms in helping professions: a systematic review of prevalence rates and work-related risk factors.

Objective: The aim of this study is twofold. Our first aim is to provide an overview of the prevalence rate of depression in a wide array of helping professions. Our second aim is to identify work organization conditions that seem to be associated with this depression risk.

Does salivary cortisol secretion mediate the association of work-related stressors with workers' depression?

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating role salivary cortisol intensity plays between work organization conditions and depression. This study simultaneously considered psychological and physiological (salivary cortisol) stress indicators on workers' depression in a single model.

Methods: We relied on cluster sampling of 341 workers in 34 Quebec establishments.

If you want to develop an effective autism training, ask autistic students to help you.

Autistic university students are often left out because people do not understand autism. We wanted to help people understand autism. Most autism trainings are not made by autistic people.

Do Implicit and Explicit Racial Biases Influence Autism Identification and Stigma? An Implicit Association Test Study.

Are implicit and explicit biases related to ASD identification and/or stigma? College students (N = 493) completed two IATs assessing implicit stigma and racial biases. They evaluated vignettes depicting a child with ASD or conduct disorder (CD) paired with a photo of a Black or White child. CD was more implicitly and explicitly stigmatized than ASD.

Does Depression Mediate the Effect of Work Organization Conditions on Job Performance?

Objective: The present study proposes to shed light on the impact of workers' depression on their work performance.

Methods: We implemented a path analyses adjusted for design effects resulting from cluster sampling using MPlus software on a sample of 1957 workers. These analyses allowed us to evaluate direct and indirect effects (mediation) while taking into account the nonindependence of observations due to cluster sampling (workers nested in their workplace).

Work organisation conditions, alcohol misuse: the moderating role of personality traits.

Objective: The moderating role of personality traits between work organization conditions and alcohol misuse by Canadian workers was examined.

Participants: Longitudinal data came from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS).

Methods: Data had a hierarchical structure and were analyzed using multilevel logistic regression models.
