The climate crisis not only has significant impacts on biodiversity and the physical health of humans, but its ramifications are also affecting people's mental health. Eco-anxiety, or the emotions that emerge with the awareness of climate change and the apprehension of its detrimental effects, has been investigated in adults and adolescents, but much less attention has been given to the impacts on children's mental health and well-being. Initial evidence confirms that youth are significantly concerned about climate change, but few studies have investigated the resulting emotional responses of children and the role of their parents in tempering these, especially using qualitative methodologies.

Background: Youth are increasingly aware of the negative effects of climate change on the planet and human health, but this knowledge can often come with significant affective responses, such as psychological distress, anger, or despair.

  • * Researchers suggest that bedside computed X-ray (CXR) images can provide additional predictive value for patient outcomes post-mechanical ventilation, using deep transfer learning to analyze features from a dataset of COVID-19 ICU patients.
  • * Their model, which includes CXR data, achieved a better predictive accuracy (0.743 AUC) compared to models based solely on traditional risk factors, indicating that high-quality images further enhance prediction performance.

Introduction: Integrated Community Care (ICC) is defined as an interweaving of territory scale and time scale health care and social care interventions implemented in proximity (spatial and relational) in an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral manner.

Therefore, we aim to describe integrated community care in order to shed light on how they work, for whom and in what circumstances.
