Workshops are used to explore a specific topic, to transfer knowledge, to solve identified problems, or to create something new. In funded research projects and other research endeavours, workshops are the mechanism used to gather the wider project, community, or interested people together around a particular topic. However, natural questions arise: how do we measure the impact of these workshops? Do we know whether they are meeting the goals and objectives we set for them? What indicators should we use? In response to these questions, this paper will outline rules that will improve the measurement of the impact of workshops.

While there is a growing body of literature examining platform dependence and its implications for mental health, much of the research has focused on gig workers with small sample sizes. The lack of large-scale quantitative research, particularly using longitudinal representative data, limits a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationship between platform dependence and mental distress. This study uses nationally representative data from the UK and fixed effects models to explore the heterogeneity of gig work, specifically examining differences in mental distress between high-dependence workers (those solely engaged in gig work) and low-dependence workers (those also employed in other jobs).

Background: Sexual and gender diverse adolescents and young adults (SGDAYA) experience mental health disparities, yet few empirical investigations into the long-term impact of affirmative treatments on their well-being exist.
Methods: This study explored the longitudinal effects of a brief affirmative cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) group intervention (AFFIRM) on the depression and anxiety of SGDAYA (N = 202), as well as how pre-treatment and mid-intervention change mechanisms contributed to their improved mental health. Participants' age ranged from 14 to 29 years old at baseline (M = 22.

Digital literacy, the ability of an individual to use and interact with technology, is increasingly recognized as a social determinant of health, especially for accessing healthcare today. Despite the proliferation of digital health tools, a digital divide remains concerning the ability of everyone to benefit from these digital resources, disproportionately impacting individuals with serious mental illnesses. Many existing digital literacy assessments, such as e-HEALS, SPIDER, and DHLS, identify gaps in digital literacy but do not offer actionable steps to address them.

To address the challenges of self-care in oncology, gamification emerges as an innovative strategy to enhance health literacy and self-care among individuals with oncological disease. This study aims to explore and map how gamification can promote health literacy for self-care of oncological diseases. A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and the PRISMA-ScR Checklist developed for scoping reviews.

Understanding seagrass dynamics is crucial for the effective management and conservation of seagrass meadows. However, such information remains limited for many regions worldwide, including Kuta Mandalika on Lombok Island, Indonesia. This rapidly developing coastal area, which is home to both tourism infrastructure and an international race circuit, hosts extensive seagrass meadows whose condition and dynamics require careful assessment.
