Aims: This literature review examines the effectiveness of the family interventions (FIs) targeted at the primary caregivers of people diagnosed with schizophrenia on improving the knowledge level of schizophrenia and health-related outcomes.
Methods: A total of nine studies were reviewed from December 1999 to May 2017. The methods described by the Center for Reviews and Dissemination were used to guide this review.
Results: The FIs showed consistent improvement in the knowledge level of schizophrenia among participants for various follow-up intervals. In addition, FIs were found to be superior to treatment as usual in influencing health-related outcomes.
Conclusions: Implications of the findings for mental healthcare practice to include primary caregivers with the patient in the treatment process.

J Addict Med
December 2024
From the Department of Pediatrics, UMass Chan School of Medicine, Worcester, MA (MGP, AE); Slone Epidemiology Center, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA (FR, CP, SK, MC); Divisions of General Academic Pediatrics and Newborn Medicine, Mass General for Children, Boston, MA (DMS); Department of Pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO (BC, HF, EC); Department of Pediatrics, UMass Chan Medical School-Baystate, Worcester, MA (KH); Department of Biostatistics, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, MA (TH); and Department of Pediatrics, Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA (EMW).
Objectives: Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) occurs disproportionately among opioid exposed newborns (OENs) compared to those unexposed. The extent that primary caregivers of OENs adhere to SUID-reducing infant care practices is unknown. We examined rates of SUID-reducing practices (smoking cessation, breastfeeding, and safe sleep [supine sleep, room-sharing not bed-sharing, nonuse of soft bedding or objects]) in a pilot sample of caregivers of OENs.

To improve the national monitoring of dementia and its health impacts, the EDSI projects focused on priority data gaps: dementia by cause, progression stages and impacts; socio-demographic characteristics, risk and protective factors; and caregivers.
Method: PHAC collaborated on 15 projects with multiple stakeholders (universities/research institutions, health organizations, and federal/provincial government departments).
