The review indicated that no tool encompassed the breadth of the Community Guide recommendations for communities. Third, we developed a new tool and pilot tested its use with 9 diverse teams with public health and planning expertise. Final revisions followed from pilot team and expert input. The Active Communities Tool comprises 6 modules addressing all 8 interventions recommended by the Task Force. The tool is designed to help cross-sector teams create an action plan for improving community built environments that promote physical activity and may help to monitor progress toward achieving community conditions known to promote physical activity. Academic literature indicates a need for more integration of Indigenous and colonial research systems in the design, implementation, and evaluation of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with American Indian communities. In this article, we describe ways to implement RCTs with Tribal Nations using community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles and practices. We used a multiple case study research design to examine how Tribal Nations and researchers collaborated to develop, implement, and evaluate CBPR RCTs. Discussion questions within existing tribal-academic partnerships were developed to identify the epistemologic, methodologic, and analytic strengths and challenges of 3 case studies. We identified commonalities that were foundational to the success of CBPR RCTs with Tribal Nations. Long-standing community-researcher relationships were critical to development, implementation, and evaluation of RCTs, although what constituted success in the 3 CBPR RCTs was diverse and dependent on the contedard colonial scientific research practices to measure the success of the CBPR RCTs.The Grief Facilitation Inventory (GFI) is a newly-developed measure of caregiver behaviors theorized to facilitate or hinder children's adaptive grief reactions. We examine its factor structure, reliability, and validity. An exploratory factor analysis identified four factors Ongoing Connection, Existential Continuity/Support, Caregiver Grief Expression, and Grief Inhibition/Avoidance. Both child- and caregiver-report versions had adequate-to-good internal consistency. The child-report GFI showed evidence of criterion-referenced validity via significant correlations with measures of child maladaptive grief and other psychological symptoms. Results provide preliminary evidence of the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of the GFI as a measure of caregiver grief-facilitation behaviors.Aim of the study was to estimate agreement between observational and interview-based exposure to ergonomic factors at work. Thirty-two male workers employed in a logistics hub were interviewed through the OCRA check-list on exposure to ergonomic factors in one of six work tasks. Observations of workers in each work task, based on the same OCRA check-list, were used to assess exposure in that task. Agreement between observed and interview-based scores of the check-list OCRA index, as well as of frequency and posture, was estimated both at individual and task group level through the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). At work task level, high concordance was found between observed and interview-based scores for all the exposures examined, while at the individual level agreement was moderate. These results suggest that exposure assessment through interviews based on the OCRA check-list is a valid method, which could be used as a workstation screening tool. Practitioner summary The study aimed to evaluate agreement between observational and interview-based exposure to ergonomic factors at work, assessed through the OCRA check-list on 32 male workers. Agreement was found at least moderate, suggesting that interview-based exposure assessed through the OCRA check-list could be used as a proxy of observations for workstation screening.
