Early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic most jurisdictions implemented broad mask mandates across all healthcare settings. Health providers in numerous localities including New Zealand have, as of 2023, continued to recommend the use of face coverings in healthcare interactions, including in some mental health settings, as an intervention to attempt to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to vulnerable patient populations. This intervention may have significant implications for psychiatric care, which relies on nuanced communication, including non-verbal communication.
The goal of this scoping review is to map the current literature concerning face coverings and their possible impacts in mental health settings. In doing this we hope to provide an overall impression of any impacts face coverings may have when worn in settings where mental health care is delivered, identify any research gaps, and offer suggestions for areas of future research.

Use of tobacco and exposure to second hand smoke is a leading cause of health loss globally and a major contributor to health inequities. E-cigarettes or vapes are an effective tool in improving smoking abstinence and reducing harm for cigarettes. However, little is known about the long-term effects of e-cigarettes, particularly in non-smokers.
Given the increasing use of vaping products among young people, the present study is being conducted to evaluate the impact of regular vape use on taste and smell perception in young adults. This study will help to understand how vaping effects individuals sense of taste
We will recruit 230 participants to complete a series of smell and taste tests to savoury and sweet stimuli. Data will be analysed in SPSS using MANOVA and regression analysis.
This work will become open access later in 2023.

Police and ambulance services are increasingly the first responders to people in mental distress as mental-health related calls to 111 increase and mental health services struggle to meet the significant increases in demand. Apart from the demands this places on limited police resources, the lack of timely mental health expertise during a crisis negatively affects service users (as described in the next section).
This is the protocol of a study aiming to evaluate the implementation of an innovative mental health co-response team (CRT) that is being piloted in the Wellington region. Inspired by successful initiatives in Australia and the United Kingdom, the pilot involves staff from mental health services (MHAIDS 3DHB), Wellington Free Ambulance (WFA) and the Wellington District Police being jointly deployed to respond to 111 calls made by or about someone requiring help in a mental health crisis. From March 2020 for 12 months, the CRT pilot will provide front-line, first-response capability for the provision of in-situ mental health assessments and therapeutic care in a home or community setting rather than the person being transported to an emergency department (ED) or police station for mental health triaging.
Our evaluation is a mixed method study. The qualitative components involve direct observation and interviews. The focus of the observation of staff is to understand their processes and procedures, in particular how they approach, manage and then help resolve a mental health crisis with the person and whānau (both CRT and non-CRT practice). Interviews with staff and CRT service users will equally focus on their views and experiences of the CRT. The quantitative components involve comparing de-identified data on 111 calls involving a mental health crisis attended to by (a) the treatment group (CRT), (b) Wellington City Police without CRT and (c) Hutt Valley Area Police without CRT. We will provide descriptive analysis and change data. We will also collect survey data from staff and examine a linked de-identified dataset with health, police and WFA information. Our evaluation study will help service planners understand the benefits and gaps of CRT and ensure that people experiencing a mental health crisis receive optimal mental health care.
