Brennan J Thompson
PLoS One; San Francisco Vol. 14, Iss. 2, (Feb 2019): e0211715.

Abstract: Medication administration errors (MAEs) are a common risk to patient safety in mental health hospitals, but an absence of in-depth studies to understand the underlying causes of these errors limits the development of effective remedial interventions. This study aimed to investigate the causes of MAEs affecting inpatients in a mental health National Health Service (NHS) hospital in the North West of England.

17. From problem-solving to motor skills, too much screen time stunts early development: U of C study
Calgary Herald - January 28, 2019
"Just like we limit the amount of junk food we give to kids, we also need to limit the amount of screen time," said Sheri Madigan, assistant professor in the department of psychology at the U of C. A newly published University of Calgary study has linked higher levels of screen time among two-year-old and three-year-old children with poor developmental outcomes at ages three and five. Sheri Madigan, assistant professor in the department of psychology at the U of C, said the study that followed about 2,500 Alberta homes between 2011 and 2016 found that on average, the children included in the sample were viewing screens for about two to three hours a day, between the ages of two and five.
