In this report, we review the 2012 revision of COPS. With the new title of Certified Associate Occupational Physician (CAOP), this revision was established to produce well-educated and experienced occupatio...

For the lexicographic product G • H of two graphs G and H so that G is connected, we prove that if the copnumber c(G) of G is greater than or equal to 2, then c(G • H) = c(G). Moreover, if c(G) = c(H) = 1, then c(G • H) = 1. If c(G) = 1, G has more than one vertex, and c(H) ≥ 2, then c(G • H) = 2. We also provide the copnumber for general lexicographic sums. The game of cops and robbers on a gr...

Plain English summary The involvement of patients in health research has resulted in the development of more effective interventions and policies in healthcare that respond to the needs of healthcare users. This article examines how working with youth and their families as co-researchers in health research communities of practice (CoPs), rather than just as participants, can benefit all involve...
