Article Synopsis
- - First Nations children in Canada face health disparities, prompting a study on whether a self-report health app can identify their support needs earlier than conventional methods.
- - The study involved 227 children aged 8 to 18, where their emotional well-being was assessed using the Children's Health and Well-being Measure (ACHWM), revealing that healthy peers scored significantly better than those newly identified as needing support.
- - The screening process successfully identified additional support needs, highlighting the value of community-based assessments to improve access to mental health services, with plans for future research to track outcomes over a year.
Background: Indigenous people continue to experience high rates of multiple chronic conditions (MCC) at younger ages than other populations, resulting in an increase in health and social care needs. Those who provide services designed to address MCC for Indigenous communities require synthesized information to develop interventions that meet the needs of their older adult population. This review seeks to answer the research question: What are the health and social care needs, priorities and preferences of Indigenous older adults (living outside of long-term care settings) with MCC and their caregivers?
Methods: A scoping review, guided by a refinement of the Arksey & O'Malley framework, was conducted.
