Perhaps the most concerning red flag came in a preprint posted this month from a team of researchers from U.C.L.A. and the University of Southern California. In states that legalized and enabled online sports gambling, the researchers found, the likelihood of bankruptcy rose by 28 percent — not just among gamblers, whether casual or compulsive, but statewide. Relatedly, average credit scores went down — three times as much in places that enabled online gambling as in places that legalized only in-person betting — and debt collections went up. The effects were larger in low-income communities, which is not surprising: Families with smaller savings will most likely spend a much larger share of those savings gambling than those with more cash to spare, and do so with much less of a buffer to protect against losses.

In a remote corner of the Arctic in 1941, a meteor shower flashed across the sky for an unusually long time. Taking this to be a sign, one of the local Inuit proclaimed himself Jesus Christ. Another proclaimed himself God. Anyone who didn’t believe in them was Satan. Violence ensued. At the End of the World isn’t just the remarkable story of a series of murders that occurred on the Belcher Islands, a group of wind-blasted rocks in Canada’s Hudson Bay. It’s also a starting place for a deeper cultural exploration.

Aug 23rd 2024, 15:02

Abstract
This study found that the MATC Promise increased college attainment by encouraging Milwaukee high school students to access state and federal aid, and to consider matriculating to their local two-year college. The MATC Promise exemplifies the last-dollar model of college aid. If seniors at Milwaukee area public high schools complete academic milestones, apply for financial aid, qualify based on low family income, and matriculate to Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), then the Promise covers any remaining tuition charges. The message promoting free college was the program’s main element, since the funding support for eligible students came primarily from existing state and federal aid. We studied outcomes for the first four graduating classes after the Promise was launched, compared to the trend in Milwaukee for the previous six graduating classes. The rate of matriculation to MATC increased from 10 percent to 15 percent. There was no such increase in matriculation to other technical college districts around the state, suggesting that the increase was caused by the Promise. The increase in enrollment was larger among lower-income students and those in the urban Milwaukee Public Schools. Those students were more likely to apply for financial aid earlier, regardless of whether they ultimately qualified for the Promise, and their rate of matriculation to any college increased from 45 percent to 49 percent. There was no indication that attracting additional students to college led to lower graduation rates, though we were limited to examining credentials earned in two years or less.

Aug 23rd 2024, 14:33

Abstract

Purpose
Community-based residential mental health rehabilitation units for people experiencing severe and persistent mental illness are increasingly available in Australia. Research completed 20 years ago suggested that people leaving these services often experienced impoverished social lives and other challenges in the community. It is unclear whether contemporary consumers experience similar difficulties. This qualitative study explored contemporary consumers’ experiences after leaving community-based residential services.

Methods
An inductive qualitative content analysis of individual interviews was completed with consumers 12–18 months following discharge from three community care units (CCUs) in Queensland, Australia. The interview schedule explored three questions: (1) What does life look like after leaving the CCU, (2) Has the CCU impacted their life, and (3) How could the CCU experience be improved? A convenience sample was used, with sampling continuing until thematic saturation was achieved. A member of the research team who had relevant lived experience actively supported the analysis and interpretation.

Results
Seventeen interviews were completed. Three themes were identified: ‘life is better but not without challenges’, ‘the CCU helps you get ready to go out into the world’, and ‘strict rules are important but rigid expectations can be hard; things could be better’.

Conclusion
Consumers reflected positively on their lives post-discharge from a community-based residential rehabilitation unit and viewed the service as having supported improvements in their lives. The findings suggest the appropriateness of optimism about the possibility of sustained improvements in quality of life after leaving community-based transitional residential rehabilitation support.

Aug 23rd 2024, 14:04

Abstract

Background
Previous research has shown that screen-based leisure time is related to physical and mental health, relationships, and prosocial behaviors. However, it remains unclear whether screen-based leisure time causally affects wellbeing, as previous studies have relied on cross-sectional data, focused on one type of media use (e.g., social media, video games, or internet), or assessed a narrow set of outcomes.

Method
We used three waves (2016, 2017, 2019) of national longitudinal data from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study to investigate the effects of screen-based leisure time on 24 parameters of wellbeing (n = 11,085). We operationalized screen-based leisure as the sum of time spent browsing the internet, using social media, watching/reading the news, watching videos, and playing video games. We followed the outcome-wide analytic design for observational data by performing a series of multivariable regression models estimating the effect of screen-based leisure time on 24 wellbeing outcomes and assessed potential unmeasured confounding using sensitivity analyses.

Results
In our primary analysis with the total sample, total screen-based leisure time was associated with a very modest decrease in body satisfaction and a very modest increase in body mass index. Possible evidence of associations was found with increases in number of hours spent exercising and volunteering each week, as well as decreases in number of average daily hours of sleep, self-control, and subjective health.

Conclusion
Screen-based leisure time has the potential to affect health and wellbeing. Results are discussed in light of the high prevalence of screen-based leisure time.

Aug 23rd 2024, 13:03

Abstract

Purpose
Suicidal thoughts are common among patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). The impact of symptoms’ severity and social cognition on suicidal risk should be a focus of attention. This study aimed at assessment of the severity of suicidal ideation in patients with FEP and its potential association with the theory of mind (ToM) impairment and symptoms’ severity.

Methods
Ninety-six participants were recruited consecutively and subdivided into three equal groups: FEP, schizophrenia, and healthy controls (HC). The symptoms’ severity was assessed using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Suicidal ideation was evaluated using Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI). Reading the Mind in the Eyes revised version (RMET) was used to assess ToM.

Results
Suicidal ideation was significantly higher only in FEP compared to HC (p = 0.001). Both FEP and schizophrenia had substantially lower performance than HC on RMET (p < 0.001). Higher depression (β = 0.452, p = 0.007) and negative symptoms (β = 0.433, p = 0.027) appeared to be significantly associated with increased suicidal ideation severity in FEP while RMET did not.

Conclusion
Patients with FEP and chronic schizophrenia have comparable deficits in theory of mind dimension of social cognition. The severity of negative and depressive symptoms potentially contributes to the increased risk of suicide in FEP.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:04

Bullying victimization has been identified as a significant factor influencing academic outcomes. We sought to evaluate the educational outcomes and psychiatric comorbidities in children and adolescents who are victims of bullying using the National Survey of Children’s Health dataset for the study. The participants were children and adolescents (age: 6–17 years) categorized into two groups: group 1, not bullied (n = 21,015), and group 2, bullied more than once (n = 21,775). Individuals whose health status was fair or poor have experienced more bullying (2.4% vs. 1.4%, p

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:04

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of knowledge and beliefs on beneficial behaviors and dementia risk scores. A online survey was conducted among Chinese community residents over 18 years old. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the impact of knowledge and beliefs on dementia risk scores and beneficial behaviors. The respondents were 760 adults (mean age = 47.6 years, 60.8% female). Knowledge and beliefs were associated with cognitive activities (knowledge, odds ratio [OR] = 1.04; beliefs, OR = 1.17) and dementia risk scores (knowledge, OR = 0.95; beliefs, OR = 0.82). Additionally, lower perceived susceptibility (OR = 1.68; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.72) and higher perceived benefits (OR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.80) were associated with lower dementia risk scores. Knowledge and beliefs can promote beneficial behaviors and reduce dementia risk. In particular, perceptions of dementia susceptibility and benefits should be enhanced, which will greatly reduce dementia risk in the general public.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:04

This study evaluated the impact of a direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing video designed to educate the public about patients’ rights to evidence-based mental health care (EBMHC). Participants (N = 632) were randomly assigned to an active DTC video condition, a control video condition, or a control condition without a video. Participants who watched the DTC video (vs. both control conditions) had significantly greater knowledge of patients’ rights to EBMHC. Further, individuals who watched the DTC (vs. control) video reported significantly greater comfort with accessing care and perceived their assigned video as significantly more culturally sensitive. However, participants who watched the DTC video were not significantly different from both control conditions on self-report measures of self-efficacy in working with a provider, likelihood of asking a provider about one’s rights, treatment-seeking intentions, and self-stigma. Findings suggest the potential for a DTC video to promote knowledge of EBMHC, though its impact on help-seeking perceptions and intentions was less promising.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:04

The aim is to identify the causes of physical and emotional health disorders in men in terms of intimate interaction with partners, as well as how they can be prevented. The research used comparison, analysis, statistical methods, and surveys. The need for people to discover and study sexual health issues in the modern world in order to support not only the physical, but also the psychological aspects of their body, as well as the impact of lifestyle on this process, is shown. The research was conducted to better understand all diseases that are based on the deterioration of the psycho-emotional state of men, which leads to sexual disorders. A more detailed study of this topic will allow to better select treatment for patients and find different approaches to the problem in the future.

ABSTRACT: 
Objective: 
To evaluate the impact of the Songklanagarind ADHD Multidisciplinary Assessment and Care Team for Quality Improvement (SAMATI) initiative on reducing stimulant prescribing errors in a pediatric outpatient setting.
Methods: 
A retrospective study examined attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) registry data from January 2017 to June 2023 to assess the impact of the SAMATI initiative, implemented in early 2020. This initiative, integrating multiple components such as audit and feedback, clinical pharmacist involvement, and Electronic Medical Record utilization, aimed to enhance ADHD medication management. Using interrupted time series and control chart analyses, the study evaluated the initiative’s effect on reducing stimulant prescribing errors. Additionally, parental satisfaction was measured to gauge the initiative’s overall success.
Results: 
Out of 282 patients enrolled, 267 were included in the final analysis after exclusions. Post-intervention analysis showed significant reductions in various prescribing errors per thousand prescriptions: prescribing without concern drug-condition interaction (443 to 145, p

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:03

Abstract: 
Objective: 
Early treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can improve developmental outcomes. Children with ASD from minority families often receive services later. We explored factors related to child’s age at time of mother’s first concerns about child’s development and subsequent time to service initiation among children with ASD.
Methods: 
Analysis included 759 preschool-age children classified with ASD based on comprehensive evaluations. Factors associated with retrospectively reported child age at time of first maternal concern and subsequent time to service initiation were investigated using multiple linear regression and Cox proportional hazards.
Results: 
Earlier maternal concern was associated with multiparity, ≥1 child chronic condition, externalizing behaviors, and younger gestational age, but not race/ethnicity. Time to service initiation was longer for children of non-Latino Black or other than Black or White race and higher developmental level and shorter for children with ≥1 chronic condition and older child age at first maternal concern.
Conclusion: 
Parity, gestational age, and child health and behavior were associated with child age at first maternal concern. Knowledge of child development in multiparous mothers may allow them to recognize potential concerns earlier, suggesting that first time parents may benefit from enhanced education about normal development. Race/ethnicity was not associated with child’s age when mothers recognized potential developmental problems; hence, it is unlikely that awareness of ASD symptoms causes racial/ethnic disparities in initiation of services. Delays in time to service initiation among children from racial/ethnic minority groups highlight the need to improve their access to services as soon as developmental concerns are recognized.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:03

ABSTRACT: 
Objective: 
Black children with autism and their families face disparities within clinical care and services, leading to inequitable health outcomes. However, there is limited research centering the voices of the Black autism community in understanding how to address these inequities. In this study, researchers explored the perspectives of caregivers of Black children with autism regarding barriers to equitable care and recommendations for improved services.
Methods: 
Community leaders from an autism advocacy group and researchers from a large academic medical center partnered to conduct a Group Level Assessment with 31 Black families of children with autism. During a three-hour research event, participants discussed their experiences within community, school, and clinical services, collectively coded and interpreted the data, and generated action steps to improve services.
Results: 
The findings revealed 6 areas of need regarding the services Black children with autism and their caregivers receive. Black caregivers recommended that systems of care improve access to culturally responsive care, integrate caregiver priorities within their care, and engage in collaborative decision-making with caregivers. Providers should also equip caregivers with an accessible roadmap for navigating their child’s services and connect them to care management professionals and resources for mental health support.
Conclusion: 
The findings of this study address a critical gap in the literature by partnering with the Black autism community to identify solutions to address their needs; these recommendations can be used as a foundation for service providers to reduce disparities and improve outcomes for Black children with autism and their families.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/engagement_and_satisfaction_with_care_navigation-4-aspx/) Engagement and Satisfaction With Care Navigation Support Following Telehealth Autism Evaluation
Aug 23rd 2024, 12:03

ABSTRACT: 
Objective: 
Care navigation support is designed to help connect families with health care resources. Given that children with autism have more unmet needs than their peers, such a service may be especially valuable to families who have recently received a diagnosis. This study sought to examine engagement in care navigation support after an autism telehealth evaluation. Specifically, we report on what demographic and diagnostic factors predicted engagement in care navigation support and satisfaction with this service.
Methods: 
Care navigation was offered to 220 families receiving autism telehealth evaluations between April 2020 and April 2022. Survey data from initial evaluation appointments and 2 follow-up care navigation meetings (approximately 1–3 months and approximately 9–12 months after evaluation), along with data from medical records, were collected and analyzed to determine whether any traits predicted engagement in care navigation. Satisfaction with care navigation was also analyzed.
Results: 
Of 220 families, 48.2% (n = 106) participated in a care navigation meeting within 1 to 3 months after an evaluation and 59.5% (n = 131) participated in at least 1 meeting across 2 time periods. The findings did not support the hypothesis that a diagnosis of autism would predict engagement. Analyses found that child sex (female compared with male) and child race and ethnicity (children of color compared with White children) predicted engagement. For those who engaged in care navigation, high satisfaction was reported.
Conclusion: 
Participants’ engagement rates and satisfaction levels suggest care navigation is a valuable service for families after a telehealth autism evaluation.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:03

Objective 
The aim of the study is to review and synthesize the literature on high-dose buprenorphine initiation (>12-mg total dose on day of initiation).
Methods 
A scoping review of literature about high-dose buprenorphine initiation was conducted. MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Central were searched. Randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, and case studies/reports published in English before February 13, 2023, were included.
Results 
Fifteen studies reporting outcomes from 580 high-dose buprenorphine initiations were included. Eight studies were in inpatient settings, 3 in emergency departments, 3 in outpatient settings, and 1 in a first-responder setting. Four studies reported high-dose initiations among individuals exposed to fentanyl. There were no reported events of fatal or nonfatal overdose or respiratory depression, although adverse event reporting was inconsistent in published reports. The most reported side effects with high-dose buprenorphine initiation were nausea or vomiting (n = 17) and precipitated withdrawal (n = 7). The most serious reported adverse event was hypotension requiring oral hydration (n = 2). Most studies reported improvements in subjective or objective withdrawal symptoms. The duration of follow-up ranged from none to 8 months.
Conclusions 
High-dose buprenorphine initiation has not been associated with reported cases of overdose or respiratory depression. However, the current literature about high-dose buprenorphine is limited by inconsistent side effect reporting, limited power to detect rare safety events such as respiratory depression, limited follow-up data, and few comparison studies between high-dose and regular initiation protocols. Further prospective data are needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this initiation strategy.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:03

Despite the decline in the prevalence of e-cigarette use among youth during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, more than 2.5 million of US high and middle schoolers are still using e-cigarettes. Furthermore, those who use e-cigarettes are starting at a younger age and are using them more intensely, reflecting, at least in part, a high addiction liability of modern e-cigarettes. Beyond addiction, accumulating evidence suggests that, in the short-term, e-cigarettes are associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary effects, whereas the long-term effects of e-cigarette use are yet to be established. The aim of this review is to synthesize current knowledge on e-cigarette use among youth, including established and potential risks and efforts to date to curb youth exposure to e-cigarettes. In addition, we provide recommendations for health care providers, researchers, and other stakeholders to address this significant public health issue.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:02

Background 
High potency synthetic opioids like fentanyl have continued to replace or contaminate the supply of illicit drugs in North America, with fentanyl test strips (FTSs) often used as a harm reduction tool for overdose prevention. The available evidence to support FTS for harm reduction has yet to be summarized.
Methods 
A search of PubMed, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science was conducted in March 2023. A 2-stage review was conducted to screen by title and abstract and then by full text by 2 reviewers. Data were extracted from each study using a standardized template.
Results 
A total of 91 articles were included, mostly from North America, predominantly reporting on FTS along with other harm reduction tools, and all conducted after 2016. No randomized controlled trials are reported. Robust evidence exists supporting the sensitivity and specificity of FTS, along with their acceptability and feasibility of use for people who use drugs and as a public health intervention. However, limited research is available on the efficacy of FTS as a harm reduction tool for behavior change, engagement in care, or overdose prevention.
Conclusions 
Though FTSs are highly sensitive and specific for point of care testing, further research is needed to assess the association of FTS use with overdose prevention. Differences in FTS efficacy likely exist between people who use opioids and nonopioid drugs, with additional investigation strongly needed. As drug testing with point-of-care immunoassays is embraced for nonfentanyl contaminants such as xylazine and benzodiazepines, increased investment in examining overdose prevention is necessary.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:02

This systematic review aims to examine the evidence of adding postural insole to traditional physical therapy to improve weight distribution, gait, mobility, balance, and postural control in stroke survivors. Five databases were searched to retrieve all related randomized controlled trials examining the effect of insole on stroke patients. Two independent authors checked the potential articles against eligibility criteria according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A meta-analysis was conducted for available outcomes and the statistical heterogeneity was examined using the I2 test. Of 762 articles, only 15 with 448 patients were included after they met the inclusion criteria with most of them including participants exceeding 6 months of stroke incidence. When insole was used as compelled body weight shifting method, pooled statistical analysis revealed significant improvement in gait velocity [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.67; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.31, 1.02; P = 0.0003], cadence (SMD = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.16, 1.18; P = 0.01] and stride length (SMD = 1.11; 95% CI: 0.57, 1.65; P

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:02

High-energy expenditure during walking is one of the most important limiting factors for lower limb amputees. Although several physical training methods have been proposed to reduce energy expenditure, little is known about the effects of high-intensity interval training in lower limb amputees. This study aimed to test the effects of a 6-week high-intensity interval training protocol in subjects with lower limb amputation on walking distance, physiological cost of walking, and functional mobility. A quasi-experimental pre and post-study included 13 subjects with lower limb amputation. They performed 12 sessions of a high-intensity interval training protocol with a frequency of 2 days/week for 6 weeks. Walking distance, physiological cost of walking, and functional mobility before and after the training protocol were assessed. Walking distance increased from 204.48 to 229.09 m (P = 0.003), physiological cost of walking decreased from 0.66 to 0.31 beats/m (P = 0.001), and functional mobility improved from 30.38 to 33.61 points (P = 0.001). High-intensity interval training improved walking distance, physiological cost of walking, and functional mobility in subjects with lower limb amputation.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:02

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) with threshold inspiratory muscle training (TIMT), compared with TIMT alone, on respiratory function in neurocritical patients who experienced a weaning failure. Forty-seven participants (mostly after a stroke), were randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 24) and the control group (n = 23). The control group received usual care and TIMT, whereas the experimental group, in addition, underwent four 90-s periods of manual PNF. Both groups performed training in the ICU twice a day for 5 consecutive days. The main outcome measures included maximum inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic excursions, diaphragm thickening fraction, oxygenation index, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity. The results showed a significant group-by-time interaction effect for maximum inspiratory pressure [F (1, 45) = 17.84, η2 = 0.328, P

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:02

Background and Objectives: 
It is recognized that development in the 0-to-5-year period is predictive of lifelong health and well-being and that early childhood development is influenced by parental mental health. Social stressors such as food insecurity can exacerbate parental mental health issues.
Methods: 
To improve understanding of this complex interplay, a primary care pediatric practice designed an innovative meal and grocery delivery program for families experiencing food insecurity with at least one child aged 0-5 years. As part of the program, food insecurity, parental mental health, and child development were assessed.
Results: 
Food insecurity was found to be correlated with increased stress in the parent-child system, and increased stress was found to be strongly correlated with delays in early childhood developmental progress.
Conclusions: 
These findings suggest that changes in the parent–child relationship resulting from increased parental stress due to food insecurity can play a role in influencing early childhood development.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:01

Objective 
The objective of this study was toidentify and appraise available sun protection self-efficacy instruments and synthesize information.
Data source 
A systematic search of electronic databases from 2005 to 2023 included PubMed, CINAHL, Embase and PsycINFO.
Background 
While instruments have been developed to evaluate sun-protective behaviors and self-efficacy separately, sun-protection self-efficacy instruments have yet to be widely studied. Self-efficacy is an essential antecedent to performing health-related behaviors or practices that can promote or hinder the health of individuals and groups.
Study inclusion and exclusion criteria 
Studies randomized control trials or descriptive studies that used self-efficacy measurement tools to evaluate behaviors, intentions, and sun protection knowledge were included in this review. Sun protection surveys that targeted providers or parents and non-English articles were excluded.
Data extraction 
Data were extracted by one independent researcher.
Data synthesis 
Fifteen studies met the inclusion criterion and included 10 scales of self-efficacy in sun protection. Study design and purpose, and the instrument’s validity and reliability statistics, including Cronbach’s alphas, were extracted.
Results 
The two-factor self-efficacy in sun protection scale was the most common measure for primary prevention, with acceptable reliability and validity. However, other instruments also showed reliable psychometric properties, especially measures of sunscreen self-efficacy.
Conclusion 
More research in self-efficacy measurement is warranted to examine specific populations and determine the appropriate constructs of self-efficacy. It is crucial to design evidence-based interventions that affect self-efficacy, are measured by a reliable, valid instrument, and have the potential to increase sun-protective and screening behaviors.

Aug 23rd 2024, 12:01

Background: 
We investigated the association between established risk factors for breast cancer and mammographic breast density in Korean women.
Methods 
This large cross-sectional study included 8 460 928 women aged >40 years, who were screened for breast cancer between 2009 and 2018. Breast density was assessed using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. This study used multiple logistic regression analyses of age, BMI, age at menarche, menopausal status, menopausal age, parity, breastfeeding status, oral contraceptive use, family history of breast cancer, physical activity, smoking, drinking and hormone replacement therapy use to investigate their associations with mammographic breast density. Analyses were performed using SAS software.
Results 
Of 8 460 928 women, 4 139 869 (48.9%) had nondense breasts and 4 321 059 (51.1%) had dense breasts. Factors associated with dense breasts were: earlier age at menarche [
