Dec 8th 2023, 14:21

Methodological Innovations, Ahead of Print. There is increasing recognition regarding the potential of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to be significant Anchor institutions capable of impacting the wellbeing of the local communities where they are situated. Subsequently, more universities are prioritising their social and civic responsibility by embedding a research ethos based on closer engagement with their locality, within their key institutional processes. However, demonstrating the social value of community engagement in a meaningful way is difficult, particularly the type of intangible benefits such as relationship building and co-production of knowledge that are forged through collaboration. We present results of a pilot study which applied a Socially Modified Economic Valuation (SMEV) approach to three very different case study projects within a University-Community partnership initiative situated in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to help evaluate how well the university’s civic and social obligations are being fulfilled. Two sets of potential social weights were derived. The first was based on the official Deprivation Index and the second on a combination of desirable ‘social’ and ‘strategy’ goals. Findings showed that the social valuation element of SMEV may potentially be crucially important in assisting with nuanced interpretation of social value across different communities in different places.

Dec 8th 2023, 14:11

Abstract
Introduction
The duration of untreated illness (DUI), that is, the interval between the onset of anorexia nervosa (AN) symptoms and start of specialized treatments, has a strong influence on the prognosis.
Objective
To quantify modifiable predictors of the DUI and to derive recommendations for secondary prevention strategies.
Methods
Within a multicenter, multi-informant study, DUI was assessed in interviews with patients undergoing first specialized AN treatment. Modifiable factors were assessed perspectives of AN-patients, their relatives, and primary care practitioners [PCPs]) with the FABIANA-checklist (Facilitators and barriers in anorexia nervosa treatment initiation). The effect of FABIANA-items on the DUI for each perspective was calculated using Cox Regression (control variables: age, eating disorder pathology, health care status, migration background, body mass index [BMI]).
Results
We included data from N = 125 female patients with AN (72 adults, 53 adolescents, Mage = 19.2 years, SD = 4.2, MBMI = 15.7 kg/m2, SD = 1.9), N = 89 relatives (81.8% female, 18.2% male, Mage = 46.0 years, SD = 11.0) and N = 40 PCPs (Mage = 49.7 years, SD = 9.0). Average DUI was 12.0 months. Watching or reading articles about the successful treatment of other individuals with AN (patients’ perspective) and regular appointments with a PCP (PCPs’ perspective) were related to a shorter DUI (HR = 0.145, p = .046/ HR = 0.395, p = .018). Patients whose relatives rated that PCPs trivialized patients’ difficulties had a longer DUI (HR = −0.147, p = .037). PCPs and relatives rated PCPs’ competence higher than patients did.
Discussion
It is recommended (a) to incorporate treatment success stories in prevention strategies, (b) to inform PCPs about potential benefits of regular appointments during the transition to specialized care, and (c) to train PCPs in dealing with patients’ complaints.
Public Significance
Many individuals with AN seek treatment very late. Our study shows that a promising approach to facilitate earlier AN treatment is to inform patients about successful treatments of affected peers, to foster regular appointments with a PCP and, to motivate these PCPs to take individuals’ with AN difficulties seriously. Thus, our study provides important suggestions for interventions that aim to improve early treatment in AN.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/bmsp-12293/) Which method delivers greater signal‐to‐noise ratio: Structural equation modelling or regression analysis with weighted composites?
Dec 8th 2023, 13:12

Abstract
Observational data typically contain measurement errors. Covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) is capable of modelling measurement errors and yields consistent parameter estimates. In contrast, methods of regression analysis using weighted composites as well as a partial least squares approach to SEM facilitate the prediction and diagnosis of individuals/participants. But regression analysis with weighted composites has been known to yield attenuated regression coefficients when predictors contain errors. Contrary to the common belief that CB-SEM is the preferred method for the analysis of observational data, this article shows that regression analysis via weighted composites yields parameter estimates with much smaller standard errors, and thus corresponds to greater values of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In particular, the SNR for the regression coefficient via the least squares (LS) method with equally weighted composites is mathematically greater than that by CB-SEM if the items for each factor are parallel, even when the SEM model is correctly specified and estimated by an efficient method. Analytical, numerical and empirical results also show that LS regression using weighted composites performs as well as or better than the normal maximum likelihood method for CB-SEM under many conditions even when the population distribution is multivariate normal. Results also show that the LS regression coefficients become more efficient when considering the sampling errors in the weights of composites than those that are conditional on weights.

Dec 8th 2023, 11:14

Abstract
Children have a proclivity to learn through faithful imitation, but the extent to which this applies under significant cost remains unclear. To address this, we investigated whether 4- to 6-year-old children (N = 97) would stop imitating to forego a desirable food reward. We presented participants with a task involving arranging marshmallows and craft sticks, with the goal being either to collect marshmallows or build a tower. Children replicated the demonstrated actions with high fidelity regardless of the goal, but retrieved rewards differently. Children either copied the specific actions needed to build a tower, prioritizing tower completion over reward; or adopted a novel convention of stacking materials before collecting marshmallows, and developed their own method to achieve better outcomes. These results suggest children’s social learning decisions are flexible and context-dependent, yet that when framed by an ostensive goal, children imitated in adherence to the goal despite incurring significant material costs.

New York University, one of Manhattan’s largest real estate owners, charges students $12,900 per semester to have their own studio apartment, though that price can be reduced to as low as $4,950 by rooming with two other people and forgoing a kitchen.

Dec 8th 2023, 09:18

Abstract
Migrant health advantages, the ‘healthy immigrant effect’, erode over time, leading to what is known as unhealthy assimilation. Health-related behaviours are central to unhealthy assimilation, and here we focus on an understudied and central part of our daily time: sleep. Building on diverse streams of literature, we conceptualize and empirically study the sleep assimilation patterns of immigrants. With data from Germany, we demonstrate that immigrants sleep significantly more than natives upon arrival, while their sleep ‘advantage’ dissipates with years spent in the host country. We also explore the heterogeneity of the sleep assimilation process by gender, education, wages, work schedules, and job physical intensity.

Dec 8th 2023, 08:21

Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, Ahead of Print. Migration is a risk factor for gambling-related harms. Little research has been conducted on gambling and gambling harms among migrant groups in Finland, but there are indications that gambling participation is high among migrants also in this context. Russian speakers constitute the largest migrant group in Finland. This study focuses on the experiences and views of Russian speakers in Finland on the Finnish gambling system and its relationship to gambling harms. The study is based on the results of qualitative data collected on gambling experiences among Russian-speaking residents of Finland. The data consist of an online survey directed at individuals who gamble (N = 26) and interviews conducted among family members of those gambling (N = 3). Russian speakers in Finland view gambling as highly normalised in the Finnish society. This normalisation reinforced by availability, accessibility, and state involvement. Russian speakers also have perspective on how to better prevent and treat gambling harms in Finland. Involving migrants with experience of different gambling systems can provide critical insight on established practices in gambling systems.

Dec 8th 2023, 04:19

How could we better use public inquiries to stem the recurrence of healthcare failures? The question seems ever relevant, prompted this time by the inquiry into how former nurse Letby was able to murder newborns under National Health Service care. While criminality, like Letby’s, can be readily condemned, other factors like poor leadership and culture seem more often regretted than reformed. I would argue this is where inquiries struggle, in the space between ethics and law—with what is awful but lawful. In response, we should learn from progress with informed consent. Inquiries and civil litigation have seen uninformed ‘consent’ shift from being undesirable to unlawful. If better leadership and culture were sole drivers here, we would likely be doing far better in many other areas of healthcare too. Instead, one could argue that progress on consent has been made by reducing epistemic injustice—by naming and addressing epistemic issues in ways that enhance social power for patients. If this is an ingredient that transforms clinician–patient working, might it also shift conduct within other key relationships, by showing up what else should become unlawful and why? Naming medical paternalism may have helped with consent reform, so I continue this approach, first naming two areas of epistemic injustice: management feudalism and legal chokeholds. Remedies are then considered, including the democratisation of management and reforms to legal ethics, legislation and litigation. In brief, public inquiries may improve if they also target epistemic injustices that should become unlawful. Focus on informed consent and epistemic relationships has improved the medical profession. Likewise, it could help healthcare leaders shift from fiat towards consent, and their lawyers from a stifling professional secrecy towards the kind of candour a prudent public expects.

Dec 8th 2023, 02:22

Abstract
Objective
We examine the preliminary impact of group-cognitive behavioral therapy (G-CBT) versus a family-strengthening intervention delivered via multiple family group (MFG) in improving ART adherence among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in Uganda.
Methods
We analyzed data from a pilot cluster-randomized trial (2020–2022) conducted in 9 clinics in Uganda among 89 participants, who were eligible out of the 147 ALHIV screened. Participants were eligible if they were aged 10–14 years, HIV positive, taking ART, and living with a family. Adolescents were randomized, at the clinic level, to receive the usual care (n = 29), MFG (n = 34), or G-CBT (n = 26). The interventions were delivered over 3 months. Overall, the mean percentage attendance for the 10 G-CBT and MFG sessions was 87.7% and 90.2%, respectively. Three ALHIV were lost to follow-up, while 1 child died. Adherence was assessed using pharmacy records collected at baseline and 4 additional pharmacy visits. We used mixed-effects logistic regression analysis to examine the effect of the interventions on ART adherence.
Results
We found statistically significant main effects for the intervention, χ2(2) = 7.76, p = .021, time, χ2(2) = 39.67, p < .001, and intervention–time interaction effect χ2(6)= 27.65, p < .001. Pairwise comparisons showed increasing adherence in the MFG group compared to usual care at visit 3 (odds ratio [OR] = 4.52 [1.01–20.11], p = .047) and visit 5 (OR = 3.56 [1.42–8.91], p = .007). Also, compared to usual care, participants who received G-CBT showed higher adherence at visit 4 (OR = 2.69 [1.32–5.50], p = .007).
Conclusions
Our study showed preliminary evidence that G-CBT and MFG might have contributed to improved ART adherence among ALHIV. Moreover, G-CBT is a low-cost alternative to expensive individual therapy, especially in low-resource settings. The results warrant the need for more extensive studies to better understand the role of these interventions in the routine care of ALHIV. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.Gov (#NCT04528732).

Dec 8th 2023, 00:24

Psychology and Aging, Vol 38(7), Nov 2023, 601-614; doi:10.1037/pag0000778
Individual development and aging are shaped by historical changes in sociocultural contexts. Studies indicate that later-born cohorts experience improvements in well-being in the young–old. However, whether this historical trend holds in the old–old remains unknown. Using longitudinal data of Japanese older adults, we examined birth cohort differences in trajectories of well-being as measured by life satisfaction. Data were derived from a nationally representative study conducted from 1987 to 2012. We compared earlier- and later-born cohorts over 10 years in two age groups: the young–old (n = 1,195 per cohort; age 63–74; years of birth: 1913–1924 and 1925–1936) and the old–old (n = 436 per cohort; age 75–86; years of birth: 1901–1912 and 1913–1924). To control for covariates, we used case-matched cohorts based on age and sex. Growth curve models were employed to estimate age-related changes in life satisfaction by age group. At age 75 years, life satisfaction was higher in the later-born cohort than in the earlier-born cohort across age groups. Cohort differences in the rate of change in life satisfaction were absent among the young–old. Among the old–old, the later-born cohort showed steeper declines than the earlier-born cohort. Socioeconomic, social, and health resources did not fully explain the cohort differences in both age groups. Our results suggest that historical improvements in well-being in the young–old do not persist into the old–old. Societal advancements may enable later-born cohorts to survive with limited resources.

Dec 7th 2023, 23:56

Objectives
Time is a crucial factor in abortion-seeking because options for care change with pregnancy duration, and most people prefer to access abortion care early in pregnancy. We aimed to collect data on the timing of steps in accompanied self-managed abortion-seeking experiences in legally restrictive settings.
Methods
In this prospective, observational, cohort study we recruited callers from three abortion accompaniment groups in Argentina, Nigeria and a country in Southeast Asia. Participants completed a baseline survey before starting a self-managed medication abortion (SMA) and two follow-up surveys (approximately 1 and 3 weeks after taking medication). Primary outcomes of interest included: (1) time from abortion decision to contacting the hotline, (2) time from contacting the hotline to obtaining pills and (3) time from obtaining pills to taking the first dose. We explored relationships between participant characteristics and each of these outcomes and evaluated differences in overall abortion time using survival analyses.
Results
Between July 31, 2019 and October 01, 2020 we enrolled 1352 eligible callers; 1148 provided data for this analysis. After deciding to have an abortion, participants took 12.2 days on average (95% CI: 11.6, 12.9) to start medications for abortion. On average, participants at later pregnancy durations progressed through the SMA process more quickly (<4 weeks: 20.9 days, 4 weeks: 11 days, 5–6 weeks: 10.1 days, 7–9 weeks, 10.4 days, 10+ weeks: 9.1 days; p<0.001).
Conclusions
Overall, participants accessed accompaniment group support and started abortion regimens quickly and at relatively early pregnancy durations. SMA with accompaniment provided a time-efficient route for obtaining abortions.
