Dr. Janet Curran and team recently published a study protocol: Uncovering the wider impact of COVID-19 measures on the lives of children with complex care needs and their families: A mixed-methods study protocol .
Findings from this research study will show the impact that rapidly changing public health directives had on children with complex care needs and their families in the Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The research team will work with families, service providers and government decision makers to build recommendations for the design and implementation of supportive and protective measures for future public health emergencies.
Congratulations to Dr. Christine Cassidy and team on their newest publication: Knowledge translation strategies used for sustainability of an evidence-based intervention in child health: a multimethod qualitative study.
This study examined what and how Knowledge Translation strategies were used to facilitate the sustainability of Alberta Family Integrated Care (FICare)™, a psychoeducational model of care scaled and spread across 14 neonatal intensive care units, in Alberta, Canada.
