Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVES: To generate concrete, youth-derived recommendations to support Canada's post-pandemic recovery from COVID-19 to support youth mental health and substance use (MHSU), economic, and educational recovery. METHODS: Using a virtual, modified Delphi, participants rated recommendation items over three rounds, with the option to create their own recommendation items. A priori consensus was defined as ≥ 70% of the entire group, or subgroups of youth (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, gender and sexual identities), rating items at a 6 or 7 (on a 7-point Likert scale). Items were dropped in subsequent rounds if they did not achieve consensus. Qualitative responses were analyzed using content analysis for Round 1. RESULTS: A total of 40 youths participated in Round 1, with good retention (97.5%) in subsequent rounds. Youths achieved consensus on eight recommendations to support post-pandemic recovery. Youths endorsed post-pandemic strategies that prioritize the implementation of effective, accessible, and low-cost MHSU services in schools, workplaces, and communities; the integration of MHSU education into school lessons; increased awareness about MHSU services in schools and workplaces; and the prioritization of health and well-being in schools and workplaces. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate the need for stronger partnerships between schools, community-based MHSU services, and hospitals, and job opportunities that pay a living wage.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
