Article Abstract
Ready and Healthy for Kindergarten is a Spanish/English multilingual family involvement program that is grounded in sociocultural and family literacy theories since it focuses on health and literacy development. The program's development reflects a collaborative partnership of teachers, pediatricians, families, and an advisory board of multilingual parents dedicated to preparing preschoolers and their families for kindergarten. Health themes are presented to introduce foundational literacy and social-emotional skills, and the program comprises eight one-hour virtual sessions intended to engage both children and their families through active participation in learning. The program highlights how parents, educators, and pediatricians can come together to align their expertise and impact family knowledge around child development needs. With this strong collaboration when designing and implementing the Ready and Healthy for Kindergarten program, we were able to successfully provide guidance and support for families, which helped them to establish routines that promote health and well-being, along with some literacy skills.

Seven candidate interventions to address abuse of older people.

Department of Social Determinants of Health, Division of Healthier Populations, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
The Abuse of Older People - Intervention Accelerator (AOP-IA) project aims to accelerate the development of effective interventions to prevent and reduce AOP aged 60 and older within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). The AOP-IA was launched in response to the global need for interventions with proven effectiveness, as few existing approaches have been rigorously evaluated. This paper focuses on the first two phases of the AOP-IA project, which involved conducting a systematic search, screening and evaluation process to identify candidate interventions ready to be rigorously evaluated in future stages of the project, as well as establishing a network of intervention developers.

Background: Unemployment is a recognized risk factor for impaired physical and mental health, and numerous studies have shown that unemployed people often report a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The concurrent effects of having a mental illness and being unemployed reinforce one another, leading to chronic symptoms and reduced employability. This study examined the relationships between unemployment, HRQoL and other work- and health-related factors in unemployed individuals with mental illnesses.

Reforms in education, professional identity, workforce development and technology have paved the way for addressing future challenges, including ageing populations, workforce sustainability, technological disruption, leadership equity and global health threats.
Change-of-Direction Assessment in Healthy Adolescent Athletes: Task-Specific Biomechanical Responses Reveal the Optimal Cognitive Dual Task Condition.

Scottish Rite for Children, Frisco, Texas, USA.
Background: Injury risk assessments for evaluating competition readiness could be improved by incorporating dual task testing, including decision-making and/or divided attention components, to more closely mirror a competition-like environment.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to identify the most disruptive (or biomechanically demanding) cognitive load to add to a series of change-of-direction tasks. It was hypothesized that a visual motor response component (unanticipated change in direction) would elicit the greatest biomechanical risk factors across tasks and that changes would be consistent between limbs.

Research shows that exposure to screen media and externalizing behavior problems in young children are linked. Externalizing behavior problems also present a significant barrier to parents attempting to adhere to screen media use recommendations. However, screen media use interventions have not specifically targeted children with externalizing behavior problems.
