Mental health awareness (MHA) campaigns have been shown to be successful in improving mental health literacy, decreasing stigma, and generating public discussion. However, there is a dearth of evidence regarding the effects of these campaigns on behavioral outcomes such as suicides. Therefore, the objective of this article is to characterize the association between the event and suicide in Canada's most populous province and the content of suicide-related tweets referencing a Canadian MHA campaign (Bell Let's Talk Day [BLTD]).

Suicide counts during the week of BTLD were compared to a control window (2011 to 2016) to test for associations between the BLTD event and suicide. Suicide tweets geolocated to Ontario, posted in 2016 with the BLTD hashtag were coded for specific putatively harmful and protective content.

There was no associated change in suicide counts. Tweets (

= 3,763) mainly included content related to general comments about suicide death (68%) and suicide being a problem (42.8%) with little putatively helpful content such as stories of resilience (0.6%) and messages of hope (2.2%).

In Ontario, this national mental health media campaign was associated with a high volume of suicide-related tweets but not necessarily including content expected to diminish suicide rates. Campaigns like BLTD should strongly consider greater attention to suicide-related messaging that promotes help-seeking and resilience. This may help to further decrease stigmatization, and potentially, reduce suicide rates.

The study aims to validate an online video game problematic use (Internet Gaming Disorder or IGD) scale in French language the IGD-20. IGD-20 has been elaborated considering the discussion about the etiology of the IGD, which was included in the section III of the DSM-5. The IGD-20 is composed of 20 items split in six components based on the six components model of addiction from Griffiths.

A total of 166 online video game players were recruited on specialized forums, playing 21.9 hours per week. The French version of the IGD-20 was validated through a confirmatory factor analysis via structural equation modeling (SEM).

The French version of the IGD-20 showed a good validity and a six-factor structure (salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict and relapse) (RMSEA = 0.063 [0.049; 0,077], CFI = 0.912, TLI = 0.909).

The validation of a French scale such as the IGD-20 shows some interest for the French-speaking population, including therapists who could use this scale to investigate the IGD-20 more precisely and for people with IGD-20 who could benefit from a more refined support.

Youth aging out foster care are at high risk of experiencing adverse outcomes. Federal funded programs have provided independent living services (ILSs) to these youth. see more This study evaluated the effectiveness of the continuity of ILSs at ages 17-19 in protecting youth aging out foster care from homelessness and incarceration at ages 19-21.

This study used data on 4,853 foster youth from the National Youth in Transition Database and the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System. Logistic regression was used to regress two binary outcomes on seven ILS variables and covariates.

The results suggest that remaining in foster care, continuous receipts of academic support, and financial assistance services at ages 17-19 protected foster youth from experiencing homelessness. Remaining in foster care and continuous receipt of financial assistance services at ages 17-19 protected foster youth from incarceration at ages 19-21. But, surprisingly, continuous receipt of housing education and home management training, and health education and risk prevention training at ages 17-19 were each associated with increased risk of homelessness at ages 19-21. The results also showed statistically significant effects of several covariates.

Implications are provided based on the importance of financial assistance and academic support services.

To assess evidence regarding the effects of interventions aimed at improving dementia literacy for different groups of non-health-professionals.

A systematic search for relevant interventions was conducted using a range of online databases (e.g. CINAHL, Embase, Medline, ProQuest, and PsycINFO) and hand-searching of reference lists. Eligible interventions were identified based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria and methodological quality criteria. Meta analyses were performed using a random-effects model.

The final review included 14 interventions, which were either randomised controlled trials or non-randomised controlled trials. The interventions had varied contents, approaches, settings, and outcome measures. Evidence of improved dementia literacy in various aspects was found, and the intervention effects were strongest on knowledge of dementia.

There is evidence for the positive impact of dementia literacy interventions on different groups of non-health-professionals. Best practices in intervention contents, approaches, and outcome measures should be examined to guide future interventions.
