Training Parents of Hard Core Delinquents as Behaviour Managers of their Children

This study measured the effectiveness of a behaviour modification training program with parents of hard core delinquents. Ten parents of hard core delinquents were assigned to an experimental group andten to a control group. Both groups completed the Walker Problem Behavior Identification Checklist before and after the study. The comparison between the pre-and post-testing showed statistically significant differences for the experimental group. Parents of the experimental group were assisted with designing and carrying out behaviour management projects with their deviant children. Twenty-eight projects were completed. A parenting fee was paid to participants with a bonus for improved parenting.Cette étude a examiné chez les parents de délinquants endurcis l'efficacité d'unprogramme d'entrainement visant la modification du comportement. On a réparti dix parents de jeunes délinquants à un groupe contrôle, dix autres à un groupe expérimental. Chaque groupe a rempli leWalker Problem Behavior Identification Checklistavant et après l'étude. La comparaison des résultats obtenus avant et après l'étude chez le groupe expérimental révèle des différences significatives. On avait aidé les parents du groupe expérimental à formuler et à employer des stratégies de contrôle de comportement avec leurs enfants délinquants. On élabora vingt-huit stratégies au cours de l'étude. Tous les parents reçurent un honoraire de même qu'un boni pour être devenus de meilleurs parents

Métis Peoples and Cancer: A Scoping Review of Literature, Programs, Policies and Educational Material in Canada

Much of the existing Indigenous cancer research focuses on First Nation populations or reports on pan-Indigenous data that include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit metrics together, which fails to capture the distinct lived realities, experiences of colonialism, and culture of each Indigenous group. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize existing knowledge on cancer among Métis peoples in Canada, offering direction to researchers, institutions, and policymakers for future actions that enhance Métis-specific cancer surveillance and cancer care. We searched Embase, Medline, iPortal, and Proquest Theses and Dissertations databases, Google Scholar and Google, alongside ten websites relevant to cancer and Métis peoples. Two reviewers gathered 571 records. After screening, 77 records were included. Data show that Métis peoples experience higher behavioral risk factors, lower screening participation, higher cancer incidence for some cancers, and higher mortality rates compared to the non-Indigenous population. Existing research is piece-meal and researchers emphasize that there is inadequate Métis-specific cancer data. There is a need for targeted, Peoples-specific cancer control interventions to reduce these health inequities and a coordinated, Peoples-specific approach to cancer research. These efforts must involve collaboration among Métis Nations and organizations, provincial governments and agencies, researchers, and policymakers
