    Abstract Using gender-sensitive (ensures that resource distribution considers gender) and gender-redistributive (aims to develop balanced gendered relationships through redistributing resources) analytic lenses in urban health interventions is long overdue. The social construction of gender and its impact on the health of marginalized women, especially women who experience homelessness within urban settings is frequently overlooked. Housing research, programs, and policies too often fail to utilize gender redistributive frameworks-perpetuating gendered harm for many. This article provides an update of current practices around consideration of gender in housing interventions and literature while advocating for the necessary incorporation of gender-redistributive practices in housing research and program implementation. Addressing these gaps will address the longstanding neglect that has led to disparities among women who experience homelessness or housing insecurity.

    Abstract Current rates of opioid-related mortality have been increasing globally. An effective harm reduction program consists of overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs. Incorporating both education and naloxone administration, OENDs have been reported to improve knowledge, self-efficacy and have resulted in multiple overdose reversals. Similarly effective has been the incorporation of Behaviour Change Theories within harm reduction programs. Although limited, literature that does exist surrounding this intersection, explains how theories such as social cognitive theory and the transtheoretical model have proven to reduce harms relating to injection drug use. Engaging with participants at multiple levels while using a context-dependent and iterative approach have been documented strengths of behaviour change theories with respect to minimizing substance use behaviours. This commentary argues for the potential benefit, incorporating behaviour change theories in OENDs has in reducing opioid-related overdoses.

    Abstract Background: Pancreatic surgery is increasingly moving towards centralization in high-volume centres, supported by evidence on the volume-outcome relationship. At the same time, minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is becoming more and more established worldwide, and interest in new techniques, such as robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, is growing. Such recent innovations are reshaping modern pancreatic surgery, but they also represent new challenges for surgical training in its current form.
    Methods: This narrative review presents a chosen selection of literature, giving a picture of the current state of training in pancreatic surgery, together with the authors' own views, and in the context of centralization and innovation towards minimally invasive techniques.
    Results: Centralization of pancreatic surgery at high-volume centres, volume-outcome relationships, innovation through minimally invasive technologies, learning curves in both traditional and minimally invasive surgery, and standardized training paths are the different, but deeply interconnected, topics of this article. Proper training is essential to ensure quality of care, but innovation and centralization may represent challenges to overcome with new training models.
    Conclusion: Innovations in pancreatic surgery are introduced with the aim of increasing the quality of care. However, their successful implementation is deeply dependent on dissemination and standardization of surgical training, adapted to fit in the changing landscape of modern pancreatic surgery.

    Abstract Background: Disability faced by a young person can impact the school-to-work transition and shape health and well-being over the life course. Unique barriers to entry and advancement within the labor market that are relevant to young people with disabilities underscore the need for tailored policy-level supports.
    Objectives: To examine and describe policies that support the school-to-work transition of young people with disabilities in Canada.
    Methods: A scan of policies which focused on the school-to-work transition of young people with disabilities across Canada was conducted between June 2019 and January 2020. Searches were completed within federal, provincial and territorial policy portals. Each policy relating to employment participation of people with disabilities was summarized. Policies that focused on the school-to-work-specific were synthesized using Bemelmans-Vidic, Rist and Vedung's policy tool framework.
    Results: A total of 36 policies were identified by our scan that focused on the employment of people with disabilities. Only five policies explicitly addressed the school-to-work transition. All existing policies were implemented at the provincial level and aimed to promote entry into employment. The synthesis of policies revealed that financial policy tools were primarily used to incentivize employment, provision of workplace accommodations, or the development and implementation of job readiness programs.
    Conclusion: Our analysis of federal, provincial and territorial policies in Canada uncovered a limited number of policies that specifically support the school-to-work transition. Addressing these policy gaps can increase the inclusion of young people with disabilities in the labor market.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the uptake of virtual and remote service delivery in the substance use field, which was previously uncommon. This swift uptake of virtual services provides an opportunity to improve service design to meet the diverse needs of women and gender-diverse people. Such services have the potential to better meet the needs of women and gender-diverse people by allowing for increased choice, control, and autonomy, enabling empowerment, facilitating greater considerations of power relations, violence, childcare responsibilities, and fostering greater inclusion of trans and non-binary people. This commentary aims to identify how virtual and remote delivery of substance use treatment and harm reduction services can be gender-responsive. We highlight the role gender transformative services play in meeting the unique needs of women and gender-diverse people who use drugs both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. By using the unique window of opportunity COVID-19 has created to develop and deliver gender-transformative programs, we can help address the detrimental gaps in service accessibility and effectiveness that have persistently been experienced by women and gender-diverse people who use drugs.

    Abstract An emerging approach to facilitating exiting sex work is through applying the Critical Time Intervention [CTI] model. CTI represents a time-limited approach that supports marginalized individuals during periods of transition. We performed a fidelity assessment as part of a process evaluation of Exit Doors Here [EDH], a program supporting women who wish to exit sex work. We reflect on the appropriateness of the CTI model for supporting these women, and highlight contextual and population specificities which might need to be considered for effective scaling up of similar programs. First, we applied an existing fidelity assessment tool to the EDH program. Program staff highlighted areas for adaptation. We then adapted the tool based on this feedback and assessed program fidelity by analyzing data from eight participants' CTI charts. Fidelity ratings were computed and interpreted according to established guidelines. Consultations with program staff resulted in adaptations to seven of the 12 fidelity assessment tool items. The majority of adaptations surrounded the time-limited nature of CTI and unique needs of the program participants such as their experiences with violence and substance use. The fidelity assessment of the adapted tool demonstrated that even after adaptations were made, certain items were still not appropriate for this study population. Difficulties in implementing selected program components with high fidelity can be attributed to contextual and population specificities of the study population. This study reiterates the importance of considering such factors when developing and implementing programs aimed at improving the health and livelihoods of marginalized women such as those who engage in sex work.
