Adult Physical Health

Past research demonstrates a phenotypic relationship between childhood maltreatment and adult health problems. Explanations of this association usually point to either: (a) a direct causal link, whereby exposure to early stress disrupts biological functioning during sensitive periods of development; or (b) an indirect effect operating through socioeconomic attainment, poor health behaviors, or some other pathway leading from childhood to adulthood. The current study examined whether the association between childhood maltreatment and adult health reflects genetic or environmental mediation. Using a large sample of adult American twins, we separately estimated univariate biometric models of child maltreatment and adult physical health, followed by a bivariate biometric model to estimate genetic and environmental correlations between the two variables. We found that a summary count of chronic health conditions shared non-trivial genetic overlap with childhood maltreatment. Our results have implications for understanding the relationship between maltreatment and health as one of active interplay rather than a simple cause and effect model that views maltreatment as an exogenous shock.

This paper describes how McMaster University, Department of Occupational Therapy implemented a shared supervision model during an adult physical health block clinical placement, in two fieldwork settings in Hamilton. Five students were assigned to each of the clinical facilities and spent time with the group supervisors and clinical preceptors to meet their learning needs. The objectives, implementation process, training and orientation process, learning and evaluation process, and outcome of this project are discussed. The shared supervision model appears to be a viable alternative supervision model in fieldwork education.
