Comparison of housing first and traditional homeless service users in eight european countries: Protocol for a mixed methods, Multi-site study
Get PDFHomeless services expend considerable resources to provide for service users' most basic needs, such as food and shelter, but their track record for ending homelessness is disappointing. An alternative model, Housing First, reversed the order of services so that homeless individuals are offered immediate access to independent housing, with wraparound supports but no treatment or abstinence requirements. Although the evidence base for Housing First's effectiveness in ending homelessness is robust, less is known about its effectiveness in promoting recovery.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Family Cohesion and flexibility : validation of the FACES IV package with portuguese adolescents
No full textA Escala de Avaliação da Coesão e Flexibilidade Familiar, desenvolvida no âmbito do estudo do
Modelo Circumplexo dos Sistemas Conjugais e Familiares, permite avaliar o funcionamento familiar
através de um diagnóstico relacional. Este instrumento está subdividido em seis subescalas que
permitem uma avaliação dos níveis equilibrados e disfuncionais (extremamente baixos e extremamente
elevados) das dimensões de coesão e flexibilidade familiar. O Pacote FACES IV inclui ainda dois
questionários que permitem a avaliação da comunicação e satisfação familiar. O presente artigo analisa
as propriedades psicométricas dos instrumentos incluídos no Pacote FACES IV junto de uma amostra
de adolescentes portugueses em dois estudos. No primeiro estudo, incluímos um grupo comunitário
de 757 estudantes e um grupo clínico de 67 adolescentes que recorrem a consultas psiquiátricas. Os
resultados deste estudo revelaram um modelo fatorial de 24 itens com qualidades psicométricas
satisfatórias, permitindo concluir um ajustamento aceitável à nossa amostra. No segundo estudo, a
solução fatorial obtida no estudo anterior foi replicada junto de uma amostra independente de 707
jovens estudantes. Os resultados desta validação apresentam o FACES IV como um instrumento útil
para o diagnóstico familiar junto de adolescentes portugueses.The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, developed by in the framework of the
Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems, assess family functioning through a relational
diagnosis. This instrument is subdivided into six subscales, allowing an assessment of the balanced
and dysfunctional levels (extremely low and extremely high) of the dimensions of family cohesion
and flexibility. The FACES IV Package also includes two scales that evaluate family communication
and satisfaction. The present article analyzes the psychometric properties of the instruments included
in the FACES IV Package with a sample of Portuguese adolescents in two studies. In the first study,
we included a community group of 757 students and a clinical group of 67 adolescents attending
psychiatric appointments. The results of this study revealed a factorial model of 24 items with
satisfactory psychometric qualities, showing an acceptable adjustment to our sample. In the second
study, the factorial solution obtained in the previous study was replicated with an independent sample
of 707 young students. The results of this validation, show that FACES IV is a useful tool for family
diagnosis among Portuguese adolescents.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Cognitive appraisal in fish: stressor predictability modulates the physiological and neurobehavioural stress response in sea bass
No full textThe role of cognitive factors in triggering the stress response is well established in humans and mammals (aka cognitive appraisal theory) but very seldom studied in other vertebrate taxa. Predictability is a key factor of the cognitive evaluation of stimuli. In this study, we tested the effects of stressor predictability on behavioral, physiological and neuromolecular responses in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Groups of four fish were exposed to a predictable (signalled) or unpredictable (unsignalled) stressor. Stressor predictability elicited a lower behavioural response and reduced cortisol levels. Using the expression of immediate early genes (c-fos, egr-1, bdnf and npas4) as markers of neuronal activity, we monitored the activity of three sea bass brain regions known to be implicated in stressor appraisal: the dorsomedian telencephalon, Dm (putative homologue of the pallial amygdala); and the dorsal (Dld) and ventral (Dlv) subareas of the dorsolateral telencephalon (putative homologue of the hippocampus). The activity of both the Dm and Dlv significantly responded to stressor predictability, suggesting an evolutionarily conserved role of these two brain regions in information processing related to stressor appraisal. These results indicate that stressor predictability plays a key role in the activation of the stress response in a teleost fish, hence highlighting the role of cognitive processes in fish stress.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
