<p>Palliative Medicine, Ahead of Print. <br>Background:Older people with severe frailty are nearing the end of life but their needs are often unknown and unmet. Systematic ways to capture and measure the needs of this group are required. Patient reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) & Patient reported Experience Measures (PREMs) are possible tools to assist this.Aim:To establish whether, and in what ways, the needs of older people living with severe frailty are represented within existing PROMs and PREMs and to examine the extent to which the measures have been validated with this patient group.Design:The scoping review follows the method of Arksey and O’Malley.Results:Seventeen papers from 9 countries meeting the inclusion criteria and 18 multi-dimensional measures were identified: 17 PROMs, and 1 PROM with PREM elements. Seven out of the 18 measures had evidence of being tested for validity with those with frailty. No measure was developed specifically for a frail population. Using the adapted framework of palliative need, five measures covered all five domains of palliative need (IPOS, ICECAP-SCM, PDI, WHOQOL-BREF, WHOQOL-OLD). The coverage of items within the domains varied between the measures.Conclusion:Existing PROMs and PREMs are not well designed for what we know about the needs of older people with severe frailty. Future research should firstly focus on adapting and validating the existing measures to ensure they are fit for purpose, and secondly on developing a better understanding of how measures are used to deliver/better person-centred care.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Black homeownership declines across the U.S.A. at significantly higher rates than white, Hispanic, or Asian homeownership. Although the cost to own a home is lower in Republican states, Black Americans are much less likely to maintain homeownership in those areas. This article attempts to gain leverage on the following question: “what is the penalty of political parties on Black homeownership in America?” The findings presented here provide support to the notion that there is a nationwide penalty of political parties on Black homeownership. The variation in this penalty is dependent on a given state’s opportunity structure for institutional racism, which changes based on the state’s foreclosure laws and partisan leanings. To support the nationwide findings, this article provides a case study on Black homeownership across the state of New York’s judicial districts with 221 partisan-elected judges, revealing that there remains a penalty in Republican judicial districts. Previous scholarship has analyzed the relationship between parties and foreclosures, as well as the relationship between race and foreclosures. This article assesses the intertwined relationship of parties, race, and foreclosures.</p>

<h2><em>The insurance enhances Social Security’s role of offsetting Black/White inequality.</em></h2>
<p>My colleagues have just completed a really interesting study pertaining to the progressivity of Social Security. The usual story focuses on money’s worth, highlighting the offsetting effect of two factors. On the one hand, Social Security helps Black individuals and those with less education – and therefore low earnings – through its progressive benefit structure. On the other hand, the value of lifetime benefits inherently increases for individuals who tend to live longer – White people and those with more education. </p>
<p>Regardless of how these factors balance out, though, the money’s worth approach neglects the longevity insurance provided by the program. Because Social Security provides a life annuity, it offers households protection against outliving their resources. The value of this protection increases with the <em>unpredictability</em> of their lifespan. It turns out that this longevity insurance is particularly important for Black households and those with less education, because, while these groups have lower average lifespans than others, they face greater <em>uncertainty</em> around their averages.</p>
<p>The analysis considers stylized households, differentiated by race (Black or White), education (low or high), and household composition (single man, single woman, or married couple). This process results in 12 stylized households that differ in terms of their mortality probabilities, lifetime earnings, pension income, Social Security benefits, and wealth at age 65.</p>
<p>The first step is to calculate the money’s worth of Social Security – the expected present value of each household’s benefits relative to the lifetime contributions. The next step is to measure the value of Social Security including longevity insurance. This analysis requires a complicated model to calculate how much more wealth households would need to be as well off in a world with no Social Security program as they are with the program. This measure is also related to lifetime contributions. Comparing these two measures shows how neglecting longevity insurance underestimates the value of Social Security to various types of households. </p>
<p>The results indicate that the wealth equivalence of Social Security retirement benefits is at least as great as the lifetime payroll taxes for almost all household types (see Table 1). This finding implies households generally prefer a world in which Social Security exists to one in which it does not.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"></figure><p>The difference between the wealth-equivalence ratio and the money’s worth ratio serves as an approximate measure of the longevity insurance value of Social Security. The results show that Black households consistently derive more insurance value from Social Security than Whites, reflecting the fact that Black households face greater longevity risk (see Figure 1). Also, as expected, single households value the longevity insurance more than couples, who can self-insure by transferring wealth after death.</p>

Money’s worth alone does not fully reflect the value of Social Security. People also value the insurance protection against running out of money. And the value of that longevity insurance is particularly valuable to Black households. In short, Social Security is an even more important equalizer than suggested by other studies.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Pyramidal training is an effective model for disseminating behavior analytic skills. However, pyramidal training in research is often conducted in controlled university settings. Further, research that has evaluated the effectiveness of pyramidal training in classroom settings (see Pence et al. 2014) often focuses on improving the use of one procedure (e.g., functional analysis) over a brief period. We conducted this study to evaluate the generalized effectiveness of behavioral skills training within a pyramidal model to improve teacher training skills across five procedures in the classroom setting over a nine-month period. We used behavioral skills training (BST) to train teachers (Tier 1) to implement BST to train teaching assistants (Tier 2) to implement Applied Behavior Analytic (ABA) procedures stimulus-stimulus pairing, multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessment, mand training, discrete trial teaching (DTT), and graphing data. Pyramidal training was effective in increasing teachers’ procedural integrity of BST, and the social validity of the model was apparent in that teacher assistants’ procedural integrity of target ABA procedures increased after Tier 2 training. Teachers required periodic feedback to maintain training skills, train novel procedures, and novel staff. Thus, pyramidal BST was effective to teach new skills, but required ongoing monitoring and feedback to ensure maintenance and generality of training skills.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Test anxiety is a common concern in students of all ages, and over the past few decades, there has been debate about whether to consider test anxiety a formal psychological disorder, or even a disability under the law. The present study informs those debates with information about the base rates of different test anxiety symptoms in a large sample of college students (<em class="a-plus-plus">n</em> = 2773). Students completed the Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) as well as a demographics questionnaire. More than half of students indicated “often” or “almost always” feeling very uneasy before getting a test back, and most symptoms were endorsed as being present at least “often” by 25% of participants or more. In addition, expected demographic trends in test anxiety levels by gender, ethnicity, and diagnostic status were found in this large sample. Implications for clinical and disability classification of test anxiety are discussed, along with directions for future research.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Cognitive difficulties constitute a core contributor to functional impairment in major depressive disorder (MDD). Cognitive remediation (CR) is a psychotherapeutic treatment for complex mental illness which employs computerized cognitive training exercises. While treatment effect is largely dependent upon engagement in training, degree of engagement is quite varied. We developed and tested a psychoeducational intervention video to investigate effects on subjective and objective engagement in computerized cognitive training exercises in MDD. Sixty-one participants with MDD were randomized into a psychoeducational or control video condition. Repeated-measure analysis of variance was used to investigate changes in subjective perception of cognitive malleability, willingness to engage in CR, and insight into cognitive problems over time. Participants were given access to computerized training exercises at home for 2 weeks following intervention to investigate behavioral engagement. The intervention did not significantly increase participants’ perceived cognitive malleability or willingness to engage in CR, nor the degree to which they independently trained on computerized cognitive training tasks, though a small effect on insight into cognitive problems was found. The sample was limited in demographic and cognitive diversity. Further research is necessary to clarify contributors of the observed effect on insight into cognitive problems. This research provides an important step in addressing a critical gap in the literature pertaining to bolstering engagement of participants with MDD in CR. This work highlights the need to continue to investigate ways of inciting engagement in computerized cognitive training for those with MDD.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Integrating mobile health (mHealth) interventions into settings that serve diverse patient populations requires that prerequisite professional competencies are delineated and that standards for clinical quality assurance can be pragmatically assessed. Heretofore, proposed mHealth competencies have been broad and have lacked a framework to support specific applications. We outline the meta-competencies identified in the literature relevant to mHealth interventions and demonstrate how these meta-competencies can be integrated with population- and intervention-related competencies to help guide a pragmatic approach to competency assessment. We present a use case based on <em class="a-plus-plus">FOCUS</em>—an evidence-based mHealth intervention designed for individuals with serious mental illness and currently being implemented in geographically and demographically diverse community behavioral health settings. Subsequent to identifying the cross-cutting competencies relevant to the target population (outpatients experiencing psychotic symptoms), substratal intervention (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis), and treatment modality (mHealth), we detail the development process of an mHealth fidelity monitoring system (mHealth-FMS). We adhered to a published sequential 5-step process to design a fidelity monitoring system that aligns with our integrated mHealth competency framework and that was guided by best practices prescribed by the Treatment Fidelity Workgroup of the National Institutes of Health Behavior Change Consortium. The mHealth-FMS is intended to enhance both clinical and implementation outcomes by grounding the mHealth interventionist and the system of care in which they operate in the core functions, tasks, knowledge, and competencies associated with system-integrated mHealth delivery. Future research will explore acceptability and feasibility of the mHealth-FMS.</p>

<p>Implementation Research and Practice, Volume 5, Issue , January-December 2024. <br>BackgroundAs the opioid crisis continues to affect communities across the United States, new interventions for screening and prevention are needed to mitigate its impact. Mental health diagnoses have been identified as a risk factor for opioid misuse, and surgical populations and injury survivors are at high risk for prolonged opioid use and misuse. This study investigated the implementation of a novel opioid risk screening tool that incorporated putative risk factors from a recent study in four trauma units across Wisconsin.MethodThe screening tool was implemented across a 6-month period at four sites. Data was collected via monthly meeting notes and “Plan, Do, Study, Act” (PDSA) forms. Following implementation, focus groups reflected on the facilitators and barriers to implementation. Meeting notes, PDSA forms, and focus group data were analyzed using the consolidated framework for implementation research, followed by thematic analyses, to generate themes surrounding the facilitators and barriers to implementing an opioid misuse screener.ResultsImplementation facilitators included ensuring patient understanding of the screener, minimizing staff burden from screening, and educating staff to encourage engagement. Barriers included infrastructure limitations that prevented seamless administration of the screener within current workflows, overlap of the screener with existing measures, and lack of guidance surrounding treatment options corresponding to risk. Recommended solutions to address barriers include careful timing of screener administration, accommodating workflows, integration of the screening tool within the electronic health record, and evidence-based interventions guided by screener results.ConclusionFour trauma centers across Wisconsin successfully implemented a pilot opioid misuse screening tool. Trauma providers and unit staff members believe that this tool would be a beneficial addition to their repertoire if their recommendations were adopted. Future research should refine opioid misuse risk factors and ensure screening items are well-validated with psychometric research supporting treatment responses to screener-indicated risk categories.Plain Language SummaryAs the opioid crisis continues to affect communities across the United States, new interventions for early screening and prevention are needed to minimize the related harms. Prior research has identified risk factors associated with opioid misuse among a trauma surgical patient population, with the highest risk associated with distress-related posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. A pilot screening tool was created based on this prior research, which was then administered at four trauma surgical units across the state of Wisconsin. Each of the four trauma units successfully implemented the pilot screening tool, and each identified a number of facilitators and barriers to the implementation process. Recommendations for improvement of the implementation process were also gathered. If their recommended changes were to be adopted, trauma providers and trauma unit staff members believed that such a screener for opioid misuse would be a beneficial addition to their current workflow among traumatic injury patients. Future research should refine opioid misuse risk factors and develop a psychometrically sound, validated screener to detect varying levels of risk and tailor treatment approaches based on a patient’s risk score. Additionally, future research in the field of opioid misuse prevention should prioritize the recruitment of a more diverse population to support the translation of study findings across populations.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Temporary regulatory changes early in the COVID-19 pandemic facilitated telehealth use, but with an increased return to in-person care in some settings, understanding provider attitudes about the practice and benefits of telehealth may help to inform policy and practice. This mixed methods study seeks to identify areas of training needed for effective telehealth provision in this new era. An online survey was distributed by five Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) regional service centers, which provide workforce capacity-building training and technical assistance, and the MHTTC Network Coordinating Office’s national listserv. Three hundred and sixty-five respondents from 43 states and Puerto Rico participated. The majority of respondents were clinical providers (69.3%). Eighty-five percent of respondents indicated they provided at least one telehealth service. Most indicated telehealth has improved their organizations’ ability to meet patient needs and increased access for underserved populations but suggested significant needs for continued training on telehealth use. These needs were consistent across organization locations and provider types. Qualitative analysis of free response questions identified key areas for ongoing training, including administrative topics (e.g., billing, documentation); integration of telehealth with existing systems; telehealth use with specific populations, especially children; and methods to increase access to technology for less-connected populations. Despite many providers receiving exposure to telehealth use during COVID-19, training in telehealth administration is still needed and may better serve those in certain roles and areas. While ongoing training may effectively address many needs identified, other significant concerns facing behavioral health providers may not be easily addressed via training (e.g., increasing technology access) and may require other approaches to facilitate the continued use of telehealth.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Dynamic face stimuli are increasingly used in face perception research, as increasing evidence shows they are perceived differently from static photographs. One popular method for creating dynamic faces is the dynamic morph, which can animate the transition between expressions by blending two photographs together. Although morphs offer increased experimental control, their unnatural motion differs from the biological facial motion captured in video recordings. This study aimed to compare ratings of emotion intensity and genuineness in video recordings, dynamic morphs, and static photographs of happy, sad, fearful, and angry expressions. We found that video recordings were perceived to have greater emotional intensity than dynamic morphs, and video recordings of happy expressions were perceived as more genuine compared to happy dynamic morphs. Unexpectedly, static photographs and video recordings had similar ratings for genuineness and intensity. Overall, these results suggest that dynamic morphs may be an inappropriate substitute for video recordings, as they may elicit misleading dynamic effects.</p>

<p>Objective: Adolescents’ relationships with their peers play a pivotal role in their substance-use behaviors. As such, decades of research have examined how substance use relates to adolescents’ overall levels of closeness to their peers, here termed <em>peer connectedness</em>, with mixed results. This report sought to determine how the operationalizations of peer connectedness and substance use affect the nature of the relationship between them. Method: We used a systematic review strategy to find a comprehensive set of studies investigating the relationship between peer connectedness and substance use. Three-level meta-analytic regression was used to empirically test whether the operationalization of these variables moderates effect sizes across studies. Results: We found 147 studies, of which 128 were analyzed using multilevel meta-analytic regression models. Operationalizations of peer connectedness varied widely, encompassing sociometric and self-report measures. Of these measures, sociometric indices specifically pertaining to popularity were most strongly predictive of substance use. Less consistent relationships were observed between substance use and sociometric measures of friendship, as well as with self-report measures. Conclusions: Being perceived as popular by one’s peers is positively related to substance use among adolescents. This relationship is stronger and more consistent than those between substance use and other peer-connectedness variables, underscoring the necessity of operationalizing these constructs specifically and clearly.

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">To date, neuropsychological assessments have not capitalized on the enormous strides made in brain imaging during the twenty-first century. Fully incorporating advanced neuroimaging methods with clinical neuropsychological assessment data has great potential to enhance the understanding of neuropsychiatric and neurological sequalae in children with brain injury and disease. Using commonly available MRI sequences, readily available in any clinical setting, this article demonstrates a practical approach for deriving and incorporating quantitative image analyses of brain pathology with neuropsychological outcome.</p>

<p class="a-plus-plus">Strokes and other forms of acquired brain injuries (ABIs) are leading causes of disability worldwide and often have serious physical, cognitive, and psychological consequences. ABI patients are at a serious risk for acquiring mental health issues. It is crucial for ABI survivors to engage in rehabilitation interventions focused on psychological development and affective well-being. In this article, we discuss the concept of emotional plasticity as a promising tool to improve psychological adjustment and rehabilitation in ABI survivors. Emotional plasticity can be understood as a branch of neurological plasticity that speaks to the brain’s capacity for change in the emotional domain.</p>

<p>Qualitative Research, Ahead of Print. <br>The demand for alternative methods of providing informed consent is increasing, especially in research with marginalised (or illiterate) research participants. This article discusses the co-creation of a visual informed consent (VIC), in collaboration with an artist. The VIC was inspired by the experience of obtaining informed consent from a group of migrant women with limited English proficiency, in empirical research undertaken on agroecology and health in Coventry, UK. Reflecting further on its creation and wider utility, this article explores the inner values that might guide researchers and lead to the co-creation of care-full tools that meet the needs of research participants. Specifically, this includes, reflecting on the iterative process of developing a VIC and using an ethics of care as a primary conceptual framework. Findings reveal that participants’ understanding of ethical issues is facilitated using visual illustrations. It is argued that the creation of a VIC requires the researcher to be attentive to the embodied nature of research practice and guided by an ethics of care. A conceptual framework that integrates care and embodiment is presented, with the intention that it may further support the development of care-full research by others.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Sexual objectification mostly targets women and occurs whenever they are treated as bodies for the use or consumption of others and stripped of their full humanity. While research has mostly focused on sexual harassment and aggression as the main behavioral consequence of sexual objectification, only a few studies have tried to focus on more subtle consequences towards sexually objectified targets. Spontaneous mimicry is an implicit behavior that influences our social interactions in general. It involves the imitation of other people’s postures, gestures and emotions and allows one to understand other’s emotions and intentions. Therefore, impairments in mimicry behavior are bound to have potentially damaging consequences in everyday social interactions for women who fall victim of sexual objectification. In two studies, using electromyography we measured participants’ mimicry behavior towards objectified and non-objectified women who expressed happiness and anger. Results indicated that both male and female participants attributed less mental and human traits and showed less mimicry behavior towards sexually objectified rather than non-objectified women especially when they expressed happiness. Given the fundamental role of mimicry in creating successful everyday interpersonal interactions, the results of this research advance our understanding on the more subtle, but daily consequences of sexual objectification.</p>
