The study found that the rate of complete abstinence over 4 weeks was significantly higher for non-white participants receiving OMPH compared to placebo, but there was no significant difference for white participants. OMPH reduced ADHD symptoms and desire to smoke more for non-whites than whites. Reduced desire to smoke predicted abstinence.

Alcohol dependence is a spectrum of alcohol use that ranges from abstinence to severe dependence. It involves a loss of control over drinking, compulsivity, and continuation despite consequences. Diagnosis involves structured clinical interviews and looking for signs of tolerance, withdrawal, increased use over time, and continued use despite problems. Treatment typically involves a combination of inpatient/outpatient therapy, 12-step programs like AA, and medications like naltrexone or acamprosate. The outcome depends on factors like severity, psychiatric issues, social support, and length of treatment.Alcohol dependence syndrome (pdf)

- Scores on different dimensions like community knowledge and resources indicated the communities were in the "Preparation" stage of readiness to address issues

Dementia caregiving as a public health priority: how iGeriCare.ca can help?
The Public Health Agency of Canada's National Dementia Strategy identifies that caregivers face significant physical, mental, and financial impacts as a result of caring for a person living with dementia. Caregivers experience high levels of stress and are at a higher risk of injury and depression. As an essential part of the care team, supports must be provided to improve the quality of life for both the person living with dementia and the caregiver as well. The need for evidence-based caregiver education has been identified by national and provincial dementia strategies and the Health Quality Ontario Standard for dementia.
iGeriCare was developed by experts in geriatrics, mental health, and e-learning at McMaster University to provide evidence-based dementia education for informal family caregivers of persons living with dementia. The free, open-access web-based program allows caregivers to access resources from their own homes, at their own pace with the ability to easily share the experience with other family members and caregivers. iGeriCare's features include ten multi-media lessons, curated resources, and is host to live, online events where viewers can interact directly with experts in dementia and geriatrics. Since July 2018, over 90,000 visitors have come to the site to experience the lessons, live events, and explore the resources.
Join Drs. Anthony Levinson and Richard Sztramko as they discuss why dementia, caregiver wellness, and brain health are important public health issues. Learn about the evidence regarding the effectiveness of web-based caregiver education. Explore iGeriCare's features and hear about how the program was designed, developed, and implemented and the results of the qualitative research performed to date.

This document discusses family driven care in children's mental health systems. It provides an overview of the history and development of family driven care from the 1970s to present day. Key aspects covered include a definition of family driven care as families having primary decision making roles. Guiding principles are outlined such as shared decision making and ensuring family voices are present. Best practices for implementing a family driven culture are also discussed, such as including families in policy, planning, and evaluation.

Health Evidence hosted a 60 minute webinar examining whether family interventions can influence children and adolescents not to smoke. Roger Thomas, Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary, led the session, and presented findings from his latest Cochrane review:
Thomas, R.E., Baker, P.R.A., Thomas, B.C., & Lorenzetti, D. (2015). Family-based programmes for preventing smoking by children and adolescents. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015(2), Art. No. CD004493.
Preventing children from starting to smoke is important to avoid a lifetime of addiction, poor health, and social and economic consequences. Family members influence whether children and adolescents smoke. This review includes 27 trials (23 in US, one each in Australia, India, the Netherlands, and Norway). There is moderate quality evidence that family-based interventions can prevent children and adolescents from starting to smoke. Intensive programs may be more likely to be successful than those of lower intensity. There is also evidence to suggest that adding a family-based component to a school intervention may be effective.1. week-1 powerpoint-sbirt_feb-2019

The document summarizes efforts to improve outcomes for families struggling with alcohol misuse through a multi-phase project. Phase 1 involved understanding current services and identifying areas for improvement. It was found that more emphasis should be placed on prevention, early intervention, brief interventions, and holistic family support. Phase 2 developed a concept for a family service planner to better organize support services. Phase 3 will develop firm improvement plans to present options that achieve the strategic goals of reducing alcohol harm and improving health and well-being of children.Neglect_Conference__Early_Help_joint_presentation__February_2016

Families living with addiction experience high levels of stress that can negatively impact their physical and mental health. While family support is important for treatment outcomes, services have traditionally focused on individual treatment rather than the family system. The document discusses barriers to family support, symptoms experienced by family members, and effective family-based interventions like the 5-step method. It emphasizes partnering with families and recognizing them as key to helping those with addiction change behaviors. Overall family addiction has significant public health impacts but remains an area of neglect globally.Adfam-Christine TebanoPP.

The document summarizes key information about social welfare law in the UK, dispelling common myths. It covers debt collection, housing benefits, homelessness, bail conditions, and search warrants/raids. Debt collectors have limited powers and bailiffs need a court order before seizing goods. Housing benefits can be affected by non-dependents and under-35s may only receive benefits for a single room. Local authorities must house certain priority groups but being intentionally homeless can reduce duties. Bail conditions may include residence, sureties, and security payments. Police need a warrant for searches but can enter without in some cases. KarenBiggs AdfamPP.
