Mood And Anxiety Disorders, Measurement, And Migrant Groups In Ontario, Jordan Edwards
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Our objectives were to: (1) evaluate the current literature on the epidemiology of mood or anxiety disorders among migrant groups; (2) assess how current tools for measuring mood or anxiety disorders at the population level influence our understanding of the epidemiology by a) analyzing the concordance between two commonly used population measures, and b) using a Bayesian analysis to create a combined estimate using both measures; (3) estimate the prevalence and effects of potential risk factors on the prevalence of mood or anxiety disorders among first-generation migrant groups compared to the general population in Ontario. We conducted a systematic review …
Evaluating The Implementation Of A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Management Program Using The Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research: A Case Study, Stefan Paciocco
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic disease that requires comprehensive approaches to manage. Interprofessional teams are effective at providing chronic disease management and care that meets the needs of patients. As part of an ongoing spread, an interprofessional primary care COPD management program was implemented at a family health team in Ontario. A qualitative case study was performed to determine the supporting or hindering factors to the implementation of the program. Data collected was deductively analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Eleven constructs were determined to meaningfully affect implementation. Cosmopolitanism, networks and communication, engaging, design …

Neuroepidemiology Research Unit Project Summaries
Research Summary: Key Findings
- 407 (0.28%) patients developed epilepsy within 2 years of their ICU discharge, 103 (25.3%) of whom were exposed to sepsis.
- Sepsis survivors were significantly more likely to develop epilepsy, relative to non-septic ICU survivors.
- Among sepsis survivors, epilepsy risk increased with age and was higher among those with chronic kidney disease.
