Background And Objectives: This paper provides a description and evaluation of the reflecting team approach as a teaching method for family practice residents. We have used the reflecting team approach in our longitudinal behavioral health program for 6 years. Our purpose in using this approach is to 1) teach listening and interviewing skills, 2) teach systems-oriented psychosocial interventions, and 3) provide behavioral health consultations for patients.
Methods: A five-item, self-administered, open-ended questionnaire evaluating the reflecting team approach was administered to a sample of family practice residents.
Results: Completed questionnaires were received from 18 of the 22 family practice residents participating in the longitudinal behavioral health program (a response rate of 82%). Responses to the questionnaire items indicated that the residents understood the purpose of the reflecting team approach and felt that they had acquired a variety of clinical skills from the approach, including listening and interviewing skills, positive reframing of patients' problems, how to give positive feedback to promote behavioral change, and increased knowledge of psychosocial assessment procedures and treatment methods.
Conclusions: The residents' responses to the questionnaire items indicated that they perceived the reflecting team approach to be a practical and useful method for learning a variety of clinical skills.

Special education teachers support students with complex communication needs across the day. Yet, evidence suggests that these professionals are entering the field without being fully prepared to support these students by having the knowledge and skill to implement augmentative and alternative communication practices. The lack of preparedness from these professionals creates barriers for students with complex communication needs, their families, and other team members.

Background: The centralization of decision-making power in the public health care system has a negative impact on the practice of professionals and the quality of home care services (HCS) for seniors. To improve HCS, decentralized management could be a particularly promising approach. To be effective, strategies designed to incorporate this management approach require attention to 3 elements: autonomy of local stakeholders, individual and organizational capacities, and accountability for actions and decisions.

Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research and monitoring, so it is imperative to understand their strengths, limitations, and potential for increasing impact. We investigated a decade of use of wildlife cameras (2012-2022) with a case study on Australian terrestrial vertebrates using a multifaceted approach. We (i) synthesised information from a literature review; (ii) conducted an online questionnaire of 132 professionals; (iii) hosted an in-person workshop of 28 leading experts representing academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and government; and (iv) mapped camera trap usage based on all sources.
