We report on our application of a community-based systems dynamics modelling approach to identify key factors affecting children's social and emotional well-being (SEW). Using a group model building process with 31 stakeholders in 2 communities in British Columbia, Canada, we constructed two causal loop diagrams composed of 250 variables, 534 connections and 63 feedback loops. Feedback loops, systems complexity, and prominent systems level variables illustrate the interconnectedness of multilevel determinants influencing children's SEW. The community-based models highlighted areas for place-based intervention planning that require collective community action and intersectoral commitment toward common objectives for practice and policy on SEW.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian, 525 East 68th St, RM F610, New York, NY, USA.
Purposeof Review: In this article, we explore the current literature on traumatic brain injury (TBI) in survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and evaluate the barriers to studying this vulnerable population.
Recent Findings: Research on TBI and IPV is limited by multiple factors including mistrust of the healthcare system by survivors, lack of awareness by community advocates, and insufficient funding by public entities. As such, most investigations are small population, retrospective, and qualitative.

Affiliated Mental Health Center of Jiangnan University, Wuxi Central Rehabilitation Hospital, Wuxi, 214151, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: Construction a troublemaking risk assessment tool to predict the risk of troublemaking for patients with severe mental disorders in the community of China.
Methods: 28,000 cases registered in the Jiangsu Provincial Severe Mental Disorder Management System from January 2017 to December 2019 were collected. The risk factors of troublemaking among patients with severe mental disorders in the community were analyzed through Logistic regression analysis, then the troublemaking risk assessment tool was established and verified.

Introduction: The presence of female faculty members in anesthesia residency programs is pivotal for enhancing and supporting diversity and gender equity in medical education. This study probes the intricate interplay between the percentage of female faculty and whether program type and geographical location impact the composition of female faculty.
Methods: For this retrospective cross-sectional analysis, we collected data from the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access (FREIDA) system to assess the percentages of female faculty in anesthesia residency programs.

Background: As the population ages, more people live longer with multimorbidity. Older people with multimorbidity face diverse needs and medical conditions, increasing the risk of adverse health outcomes, and often experience fragmented healthcare. Research has called for better ways to reach, understand and care for this group to enhance care continuity.

BMC Glob Public Health

Division of General Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, 80045 CO, USA.
Background: In the USA, many states, including Colorado, have increased criminal penalties for illicit opioid possession, which may alter overdose risk. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between Colorado's increased drug-related criminal legal penalties, risk of overdose, and substance use patterns.
Methods: We used concept mapping - a mixed-methods approach used to develop a conceptual understanding of an issue from a community lens - to engage with people with living and/or lived experience with the criminal legal system, substance use, and/or overdose, their loved ones, and service providers.
