This article examines the role of health leaders in the early stages of a community response to address health and homelessness in London, Ontario. Specifically, we explore how leaders from large healthcare-providing organizations have influenced the dynamics of the entire community response. We argue that the high level of engagement from health leaders has been a key ingredient in the early successes of the new approach in London, in part because it validated the reframing of homelessness as a healthcare issue-importantly, changing perceptions about who shares the responsibility to address it.

Inflammation Targeting-Triggered Healing Hydrogel for In Situ Reconstruction of Colonic Mucosa.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

Collaborative Innovation Center for Clinical and Translational Science, Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, & Institute of Molecular Medicine, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200025, P. R. China.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by intestinal mucosal damage that exacerbates inflammation and promotes disease recurrence. Although hydrogel-based therapies have shown potential for mucosal repair, challenges remain due to inadequate targeting and low hydrogel density, leading to ongoing infiltration of harmful substances and delayed mucosal healing. In this study, an inflammation-targeting-triggered healing hydrogel (ITTH hydrogel) is developed, composed of polyvinyl alcohol-alginate microgels (PALMs) and a cyclodextrin polymer crosslinker (CPC).

Objective: This study tests the effectiveness of leader and provider-level implementation strategies to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in two of the service systems caring for autistic children. The TEAMS Leadership Institute (TLI) targets implementation leadership and climate, and TEAMS Individualized Provider Strategy (TIPS) targets provider motivation and engagement.

Method: A cluster randomized hybrid type 3 implementation-effectiveness trial tested the effects of the implementations strategies when paired with AIM HI (An Individualized Mental Health Intervention for Autism) in mental health programs (Study 1) and CPRT (Classroom Pivotal Response Teaching) in classrooms (Study 2).
