Dr. Wendy Abigail presented research on women's fertility awareness and management. The research examined experiences of women over 30 in South Australia prior to termination of pregnancy. It found varying levels of fertility awareness and contraceptive use. Results were disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conferences, websites, media and community engagements. This led to the research being recognized with awards and helped promote discussion of women's health issues.
The document discusses a Well-Dance program delivered by Dance Theatre of Ireland (DTI) to promote physical activity for older adults. A study was conducted of 83 participants in two Well-Dance programs that found improvements in physical function, falls efficacy, mood, and quality of life. Participants reported increased flexibility, mobility, and cognitive benefits from the dance routines. The program was found to appeal to active older adults and significantly improved several health outcomes. However, a randomized controlled trial is still needed to confirm the findings.

Marlene is an 18-year-old female student with complex needs including Rett syndrome, apraxia, and epilepsy who uses augmentative and alternative communication. She enjoys music, fashion, spending time with peers, and conversation. Her goals for the upcoming school year include attending a live concert. A transdisciplinary team used the ICF framework to develop a plan to achieve this goal by setting sub-goals, assigning roles and responsibilities, and incorporating the goal into Marlene's individualized education plan with a focus on increasing her independence, competence, and self-determination. The team's approach aimed to actively engage Marlene in the goal-setting process in line with theories emphasizing the importance of intrinsic motivation.
The document summarizes a case presentation done by a social work intern at the Counseling & Testing Center of Elizabeth City State University. The intern engaged with students through programming and presentations. Assessment found top issues were alcohol use, campus safety, and mental health. The intern applied theories like systems theory and analyzed implications for social policy and justice. Evaluation found goals for program development and alcohol prevention education were met. Research showed high costs of high-risk college drinking. The intern completed learning goals and hopes to continue initiatives to help the campus community.
The document discusses a new nursing research study at UT Austin aimed at helping homeless youth. The study tests an intervention involving six sessions where youth imagine and describe their "best possible self" and set goals to achieve that. The intervention is based on the theory that people carry visions of both a positive future self and a feared self. The study aims to help at-risk youth envision healthier behaviors and set achievable goals to move toward their best possible self, rather than short-term decisions. It is a randomized controlled trial testing the intervention's impact on substance abuse and risky sexual behaviors among homeless youth. The intervention uses iPads and aims to track 600 homeless youth over time.

L’application Jooay : Pour la promotion de la participation des enfants en si...ComSanté
La participation aux sports et activités de loisir est une importante composante du développement des enfants, mais l’engagement des enfants ayant une incapacité reste limité comparativement aux enfants du même âge. Les familles et professionnels de la santé ont indiqué que l’accès à l’information sur les ressources disponibles est un facteur essentiel facilitant la participation. Les familles ont d’autant plus exprimé qu’un système de support social solide améliore l’engagement des enfants dans le loisir. C’est dans ce contexte que deux chercheuses de l’Université McGill ont créé Jooay, une application mobile gratuite offrant un répertoire d’activités de loisir adaptées ou inclusives pour enfants ayant une incapacité disponible à travers le Canada. Jooay est également une communauté de support en-ligne permettant l’échange de conseils et expériences. Les activités de recherche de ce projet visent à (1) tracer les motifs de changements comportementaux des utilisateurs de l’application; (2) identifier les meilleures stratégies de dissémination d’information sur le loisir adapté et (3) implanter et évaluer des méthodes pour optimiser l’utilisation de cette technologie. L’information recueillie par le biais de l’application mobile pourra de surcroît être utilisée afin de guider les changements politiques et communautaires.
