Introduction: The process by which the jurisprudence course was restructured at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is chronicled.

Method: A Delphi process used to restructure the course is described, and the results of a student satisfaction survey are presented.

Results: When asked "I think this material was clinically relevant," over 81% of the 76 students who respondents strongly agreed or agreed with this statement; 100% of students agreed or strongly agreed that scope of practice; marketing, advertising and internal office promotion; record keeping; fee schedules; malpractice issues and; professional malpractice issues and negligence was clinically relevant. When asked "I think this material was taught well," a minimum of 89% of students agreed or strongly agreed with this statement.

Discussion: This is the first article published that described the process by which a jurisprudence course was developed and assessed by student survey.

Summary: Based on a survey of student perceptions, restructuring of the jurisprudence course was successful in providing students with clinically relevant information in an appropriate manner. This course may serve as an important first step in development a 'model curriculum' for chiropractic practice and the law courses in terms of content, format and assessment strategies.

Background: Mental health professionals' (MHPs) attitudes towards involuntary admissions have not received adequate attention in efforts to curb their rates. Thus, the present study set out to (i) explore MHP attitudes regarding involuntary hospitalisation, (ii) describe their perceived dangerousness of people with severe mental illness (SMI) and their trust in psychiatry, (iii) identify the predictors of attitudes towards compulsory admissions and (iv) gauge the contribution of perceived dangerousness versus trust in psychiatry to explaining them.

Methods: A random sample of 300 mental health professionals working in public mental health services located in the Northern part of Athens and in the two psychiatric hospitals of Attica participated in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • Longitudinal cohort studies are crucial for understanding how various factors impact health by tracking participants over time, but maintaining participant engagement over decades is challenging.
  • This study examined participant engagement and involvement (PEI) practices in different cohort studies across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, using interviews to gather insights on recruitment, consent, communication, and data collection.
  • Findings revealed diverse recruitment strategies, a shift towards digital data collection methods, and attempts to involve participants in decision-making through advisory panels, although success varied by age and socio-economic status.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of GPs (in training) being personally involved in a PSI, as well as the impact, the support needed, and open disclosure in the aftermath of these PSIs.
