Co-design is increasingly being adopted within mental health service design and delivery, but is less common in research. Co-design ensures that research is relevant and benefits people accessing services. This review examined frameworks, models, and/or guidelines for co-designing mental health research, asking: (a) How is co-design defined? (b) What are the elements, values, and design tools? (c) What recommendations are proposed? A scoping review of peer-reviewed and gray literature on co-design in mental health research was undertaken and narratively synthesized. A total of 28 studies were included, showing varied understandings of co-design. Key values included social justice, recognizing lived experience as expertise, and fostering safe and trusting relationships. Traditional academic structures often hinder co-design; however, innovative research methods have shown potential. Recommendations and strategies to overcome barriers are provided. To enhance the adoption of co-design in mental health research, clearer terminology and agreed-upon values and processes are needed.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine to slow the rate of transmission, causing communities to transition into virtual spaces. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

To provide foundational information for the development of a training program to prepare school nurses to deliver a mental health focused SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment) approach, this study aimed to describe how school nurses perceive their role in addressing student mental health concerns and determine if these perceptions align with the components of SBIRT. We used content analysis to summarize open-ended survey responses of 38 school nurses to the question "What role do school nurses play in addressing student mental health?" Findings revealed 19 responses aligned with at least one component of SBIRT, one aligned with all three, and 30 focused mainly on forming trusting relationships with students. We conclude school nurses do not implement SBIRT in a systematic way but view its components as consistent with their role.

Importance: Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug, with 10% to 30% of regular users developing cannabis use disorder (CUD), a condition linked to altered hippocampal integrity. Evidence suggests high-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances hippocampal structure and function, with this form of physical exercise potentially mitigating CUD-related cognitive and mental health impairments.
Objective: To determine the impact of a 12-week HIIT intervention on hippocampal integrity (ie, structure, connectivity, biochemistry) compared with 12 weeks of strength and resistance (SR) training in CUD.
