Continued care and provision of glasses are necessary to improve visual and academic outcomes in children: Experience from a cluster-randomized controlled trial of school-based vision screening
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of amblyopia and other visual problems was not reduced in Grade 2 by our SK vision screening program, perhaps because of poor treatment compliance and high attrition. The results suggest that a single screening intervention is insufficient to reduce visual problems among young children. However, the data from individuals with amblyopia suggest that continuing vision care and access to glasses benefits children, especially children from lower socioeconomic class.PMID:38691337 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00884-8 (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social determinants of health, mental health, and substance use among key populations affected by sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections in Canada
CONCLUSION: These intersecting health issues are among the risk factors for STBBI acquisition and act as barriers to care. Equitable interventions and policies addressing downstream and upstream determinants of health, with meaningful and sustainable leadership from key populations, may improve their health and well-being, to lower STBBI impact and improve future pandemic responses.PMID:38691338 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00888-4 (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)

Evaluating the impact of the Community Helpers Program on adolescents 12-18 years old in Edmonton, Canada
CONCLUSION: Findings show contextual effect of CHP; i.e., being potentially exposed to the program reduced the likelihood of anxiety- and depression-related visits. Costs of CHP implementation could be compared with the avoided costs to assess economic benefits of implementing CHP.PMID:38683287 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00878-6 (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)

Occupational patterns of opioid-related harms comparing a cohort of formerly injured workers to the general population in Ontario, Canada
CONCLUSION: Findings support the hypothesis that work-related injuries have a role as a preventable risk factor for opioid-related harms.
