This article describes an Indigenous and qualitative research project with 13 First Nation (FN) and Métis youth attending an Aboriginal youth health and wellness program located in the Canadian prairies. Our goal was to collaborate with the youth to co-create knowledge concerning their definitions of health using a convergence of Indigenous and qualitative methodologies. Independent but interconnected themes that emerged are discussed as related to neurodecolonization and the recovery of traditional practices and their contribution to youth resilience. The resilience of youth was reflected in these themes as well as their definitions of health. Our findings point to the importance of acknowledging and validating the role that neurodecolonization practices contribute to healing, both at individual and collective levels. Furthermore, we suggest recognizing resilience as well as viewing health holistically to more adequately understand and address the healthrelated concerns of FNs, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) youth.

Commons are resources shared by a group of people, and are studied using the commons dilemma paradigm. Despite Hardin's prediction that the only sustainable management options are government regulation or private ownership, sustainable commons management has been observed with unregulated groups; however, global commons such as the atmosphere and oceans seem to conform to the prediction of "tragedy" because self-interests among users lead to degradation of the commons through overuse. The present study examined whether the factors of commons type (consumption or waste disposal) and cost (money or time) influence individual self-constraint in harvesting/polluting decisions to prolong the longevity of the shared resource, in the absence of social communication. Results indicate an interaction of the two factors: Individual self-constraint was greatest with the combination of disposal commons and time cost. These findings suggest that creative strategies to manage global commons may be possible, at least for waste-disposal commons.

Continuing education on dementia for healthcare providers has been shown to have positive effects on diagnostic confidence, knowledge, and care management. Technological approaches to educational delivery have been found to have comparable effects in terms of quality and efficacy. The purpose of the systematic review was to compose and present an evidence base for technology-delivered dementia education for healthcare providers. The review used PRISMA guidelines and Cochrane methods focusing on studies with a pre-and post-intervention evaluation. Technology-based delivery of dementia education was broadly defined as any technology-based medium delivered in real time or asynchronously. Ten studies were identified and analyzed using content analysis. The review revealed positive outcomes post-intervention, for dementia knowledge, readiness to change, receptiveness to training, communication skills, and self-efficacy. Studies were rated as medium to high quality on a scale for measurement of published data in research, and there was generally an unknown risk of bias due to a lack of a control group in most studies (N = 7). The findings revealed benefits of digitally-based, asynchronous continuing education for healthcare providers, which allow schedule flexibility and the ability to deliver remotely. Findings also revealed benefits of presentations using a variety of interactive educational materials via videos, voice recordings, textual medium and online discussion groups. Suggestions for intervention improvements include tailoring training for the specific needs and knowledge levels of healthcare practitioners and using validated scales to measure outcomes.

Loss aversion is observed both in psychological research and life: Individuals will work harder to avoid losing something than to gain the same thing. Most previous research examining the impact of gain versus loss framing has used personal economic or health decisions, such as preferred investments or health treatments. The present study examined whether goal framing also influences decisions about public resources such as economic development and environmental protection. After reading descriptions of the gains or losses associated with one of these issues, participants rated their concern and support for public actions related to several economic, environmental, and social actions. Results indicated loss aversion: Ratings were higher when losses associated with failing to adopt development or protection programs were emphasized. Thus, decision biases associated with goal framing may apply to decisions about public as well as personal resources. The implications of these findings for policy and communications professions are discussed. Goal Framing in Public Issue and Action DecisionsLoss aversion is a robust effect observed both in research laboratories and life: Individuals will work harder to avoid losing something in their possession than to gain something of equal value (e.g.,
