Objective: To describe the Greig Health Record for Young Adults (GHRYA), an evidence-based, peer-reviewed, endorsed guide that can assist providers with age-appropriate screening and counseling.
Sources Of Information: A literature search was performed by the librarian from the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto in Ontario. PubMed, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Google Scholar were searched using the terms and Additional searches were performed using the terms and A total of 521 articles were identified. Articles retained for review were those relevant to young adults and were population studies, guidelines, and systematic reviews.
Main Message: Recently, there has been a recognition of the unique health care needs of the 18- to 24-year-old age group. Emerging adults have higher risks of health issues including mental illness, substance use, sexually transmitted infections, and risk-taking behaviour. Providing preventive care requires an age-specific approach, especially as contact with health care providers is often infrequent and episodic. Primary care providers who are less familiar with the preventive care needs of young adults can use the GHRYA to guide their interactions with these patients. This new tool is an easy-to-access guide to evidence-based recommendations to be used when patients present to the office or an urgent-care setting and a ready-to-hand place to record prevention strategies when delivered. The tool includes a checklist and 4 pages of resources and recommendations.
Conclusion: The GHRYA is a peer-reviewed, endorsed guide to the provision of prevention and screening for young adults, which provides an approach to patient care but also evidence-based resources.

Item-Level Analysis of Category Fluency Test Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Studies of Normal and Neurologically Abnormal Ageing.
Neuropsychol Rev
January 2025
Department of Psychology, College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Brunel University of London, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 3PH, UK.
While Category Fluency (CF) is widely used to help profile semantic memory, item-level scoring (ILS) approaches to this test have been proposed to obtain indices that are less influenced by non-semantic supportive functions. We systematically reviewed the literature to test the hypotheses that (1) compared with healthy adults, individuals with a clinical diagnosis suggestive of neurodegeneration generate words of lower semantic complexity; (2) compared with young adults, older adults generate words of higher semantic complexity. We searched six databases (date of search: 8 December 2023) for studies that relied on CF and ILS methods, in normal ageing and in age-associated neurodegeneration.
