<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), characterized by recurring obsessions and compulsions, affects 1–3% of the childhood population, often leading to severe impairment and reduced quality of life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is well-documented as first choice treatment for pediatric OCD. Traditionally delivered face-to-face CBT has limitations in terms of accessibility, availability, and quality of delivery. Online CBT using video conferencing (online-CBT) at home aims to address some of these barriers. In this pilot study, we aimed to compare acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of online CBT against face-to-face CBT. Online CBT outcomes of 29 children with OCD were analyzed benchmarked against outcomes of face-to-face CBT (<em class="a-plus-plus">n</em> = 269) from the Nordic Long-term OCD Treatment Study, the largest CBT follow up study in pediatric OCD to date. Acceptability rated by online CBT participants and their parents was very high (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire total scores about 30, range 8–32). Feasibility assessed as dropout rate was comparable to NordLOTS (10.3% versus 9.7%). The online CBT group compared to NordLOTS showed a higher response rate (90% versus 60%; <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = .002) and remission rate (81% versus 53%; <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = .231). Our results suggest that the trusting therapeutic relationship necessary for demanding exposure-based treatment can be established by online CBT. Online CBT seems to be at least as effective in reducing OCD symptoms than standard CBT. Trial ID: ISRCTN37530113.</p>

<p><p>Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. <br>We examined the association of anticipatory negative consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Latinx young adults. Data are from a community-based study with first- and second-generation immigrant, Latinx young adults (18–26 years old). Participants completed an online survey about mental health and anticipated personal and family-related consequences due to the pandemic. Regression models examined the effects of anticipated consequences on risk of clinically significant mental health symptoms. Latinx young adults anticipated moderate levels of negative consequences during the pandemic, including expected illness, economic strain, and psychosocial concerns. Anticipating psychosocial concerns was associated with serious psychological distress, whereas anticipating economic hardship had a limited effect on somatization and anxiety symptoms. Probability of contracting COVID-19 illness was not associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing the anticipation of negative consequences is important because these consequences threaten mental health and wellbeing. Strategies are needed to alleviate continuing pandemic-related stressors among Latinx communities to promote mental health.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The complexity of modern societies necessitates that children learn highly abstract material, such as mathematics, which often conflicts with behavioral goals that are innately motivating. For instance, children’s educational success is generally evaluated based on their individual achievements, while humans are motivated to learn by engaging in socially relevant behaviors. Additionally, science-related content typically requires higher-level abstract thinking to comprehend related concepts and perform the underlying cognitive processes, whereas humans evolved primarily to monitor and manipulate the physical environment by moving within it to execute foraging and hunting behaviors. Moreover, school systems inherently prescribe top-down strategies in which teachers transfer knowledge by providing instructions to guide students’ knowledge acquisition. By contrast, humans evolved to learn through bottom-up processes motivated by the learner’s internal drive to explore their physical and social environment. As a consequence, skeletal cognitive competencies that evolved throughout human history create a mismatch between why children are motivated to learn and how they are expected to learn. This review adopts an evolutionary perspective to examine how the interplay between students’ internal physiological and psychological adaptations and external instructional methods of modern educational systems impacts motivation and learning. Ultimately, the review offers suggestions on how to motivate the learning process by integrating self-determination theory principles into a dynamical systems framework.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">This study aimed to determine the impact of school closures on visual acuity and screen time among students in Qatar. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, targeting governmental school students. Data were collected via telephone interviews with parents, and visual acuity measurements were extracted from the electronic health records. We interviewed 1546 parents of selected students, about 24% reported their children’s history of visual disturbances, primarily refractive errors. The mean screen time across the week increased significantly by 11.5 ± 11.6 h during school closures. We observed a significant decline of visual acuity during the closure compared to the pre-closure period across the entire sample, both sexes, and the younger age group. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis showed that local students and those with a history of visual disturbances were 1.7 times (AOR: 1.73, 95%CI 1.18–2.54, <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.005) and 2.5 times (AOR: 2.52, 95%CI 1.69–3.76, <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001) more likely to experience decline of visual acuity respectively. School closures in Qatar were associated with a significant increase in screen time among students and a notable decline in their visual acuity. This deterioration highlights the need to monitor children’s screen time and implement cost-effective measures to reduce screen exposure and enhance overall eye health among students.</p>

<p><p>Since 1964, the Head Start program has been a lifeline for generations of women and families, providing free, high-quality educational, health, social-emotional, and nutritional services and opening doors to opportunity and economic justice that had long been kept shut. Now, as Head Start approaches its 60th anniversary, it’s a great time to look back on all that the program has achieved — and look forward to what our country could look like if Head Start was strengthened.</p>

<p><p>Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. <br>Refugee integration in small localities poses complex challenges that must be faced through “horizontal” cooperation between local governments, nonpublic and private actors. This article investigates how frequent and how collaborative/conflictual these horizontal governance relations are and whether, and how, they are influenced by political party control of local executives and the local strength of radical right parties (RRPs). Methodologically, we combine quantitative analysis—using a unique dataset of governance interactions across 36 localities, derived from a survey filled in by 185 representatives of nonpublic actors involved in refugee integration governance—and qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with the same interviewees and 68 local policymakers. We show that horizontal governance relations on refugee integration are largely collaborative, but their frequency and quality vary depending on interplays between the type of nonpublic actor involved, local executives’ political affiliation and RRPs’ strength within the municipal legislative body.</p>

<p><p>Outsourcing development to the private market leaves affordable housing subject to the boom-and-bust cycle of private investment. What’s more, the federal government relinquishes the oversight needed to protect tenants from abusive landlords and racial discrimination. The result is a housing market where corporate landlords make record profits while half of America’s 44 million renters struggle to pay rent. For a generation of young people, the idea of home has become loaded with anxiety; too many know they can’t find an affordable, stable place to rent, let alone buy.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p>Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. <br>Issue accountability – the extent to which elected representatives are rewarded or punished by voters for their legislative actions in office – is fundamental to many conceptions of healthy democratic accountability. It is not clear, however, if this form of accountability is possible in non-partisan contexts, when constituents may have considerably more difficulty acquiring information about what their elected representatives have done. In this research note, we use data from council roll calls and a large public opinion survey to provide a case study of issue accountability in a large non-partisan city in Canada, assessing how citizens’ agreement with their elected representatives’ actions on seven high-profile policy issues is related to their satisfaction with their representatives’ performance. We find that most local residents are unaware of or incorrect about their councillors’ actions in office, even on issues that they consider important. However, we also find that issue alignment is very strongly related to performance satisfaction among citizens who do know how their councillors have acted in office. Our findings thus illustrate both the possibility of issue accountability in non-partisan municipal politics as well as its constraints.</p>

<p><p>Adoption &Fostering, Ahead of Print. <br>Drawing on grounded theory research with parents who brought children into their lives in non-traditional ways, this article considers how three UK-based single adoptive parents navigate a complex set of risks, benefits and limitations as they construct mutually beneficial connections, friendships and support networks online. The discussion draws on media scholarship suggesting that, in response to contemporary norms of constant connection, digital availability and online context ‘collapse’, many internet users appropriate the affordances of online platforms and technologies to maintain personal boundaries and keep social groups apart. I argue that such tight context control can be particularly important for single adoptive parents, whose children are often vulnerable in multiple ways, who continue to face social stigma and misunderstanding, and for whom privacy can be vital to their families’ safety and wellbeing. The article pays particular attention to single adopters’ strategic deployment of three interconnected practices for managing and curating their networks and information sharing: compartmentalisation, selective sharing and disengagement. As well as pointing to similarities between participants’ practices, the article considers how the nuances of their individual circumstances shape and influence their ways of both connecting with, and disconnecting from, a range of individuals, groups and networks.Plain Language SummaryThis article presents results from a UK study looking at ways in which single, LGBTQ+ and adoptive parents use digital media in their everyday lives. It uses three case studies to explore the experiences of single adoptive mothers specifically, as a group who make up a significant proportion of adoptive parents in the UK, and whose families may be vulnerable in more ways than one. The case studies show how single adopters can use digital media to nurture targeted connections that are intimate and supportive, in part through disconnecting from those that are counter-productive or unhelpful. The article concludes with some key recommendations for practitioners who work with adoptive parents, particularly those with additional vulnerabilities such as single adopters, or adopters of disabled children. I suggest, on one hand, that practitioners can facilitate personalised, targeted support by signposting carers to appropriate digital sources, or supporting the creation of social media networks, for example via Facebook groups. On the other hand, the case studies highlight some disadvantages and difficulties associated with community-driven support through social media platforms. I therefore suggest that some caution is needed around the recommendations that are made, depending on individual families’ needs and circumstances.</p>

<p><p>Journal of Health Services Research &Policy, Ahead of Print. <br>Objectives: While safety-dedicated professional roles are common in other high-risk industries, in health care they have tended to have a relatively narrow, technical focus. We present initial findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of a novel, senior role with responsibility for leadership of safety in English National Health Service organisations: the patient safety specialist. Methods: We conducted interviews with those responsible for designing, developing and overseeing the introduction of the role. We also carried out a national survey of current patient safety specialists. Data collection and analysis focused on the rationale for the role, its theory of change, and experiences of putting the theory into practice. Results: Interview participants articulated a clear theory of change for the role, highlighting ways in which the focus of the role, the seniority, responsibility and influence of role holders, and the expertise they brought might result in better safety management and speedier implementation of initiatives to manage risk and improve safety. Survey respondents had mixed experiences of the role to date, particularly in terms of material and symbolic support from their organisations. Together, findings from the two datasets indicated the need for a careful balance between strategic and operational activities to secure impact for patient safety specialists while ensuring they were embedded in the realities of clinical work as done—a balance that not all role holders found easy to achieve. Conclusions: The vision for the patient safety specialist role is clear, and supported by a plausible account of how the work of role holders might result in the intended objectives. The degree to which specialists are supported and resourced to deliver on these ambitions, however, varies markedly across organisations.</p>

<p class="a-plus-plus">Firefighters are at heightened risk for chronic occupational stress and exposure to potentially traumatic events. Experiencing potentially traumatic events is a risk factor for various psychiatric symptoms among firefighters, notably posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. This study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of yoga to reduce PTSD symptoms, negative affect, and trait anxiety in firefighters.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A total of 108 trauma-exposed career firefighters (99% male; <em class="a-plus-plus">M</em><sub class="a-plus-plus">age</sub> = 34.55, SD = 8.37) were enrolled in a single-arm 8-week yoga intervention, termed Mind–Body Tactical Training (MBTT). Feasibility was assessed in five domains. Self-report measures were used to evaluate the MBTT intervention’s effectiveness in reducing symptoms of PTSD, negative affect, and trait anxiety. The Intervention Appropriateness Measure was employed to assess acceptability. Attrition, attendance, and intervention costs were used to determine demand, implementation, and practicality, respectively.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Total PTSD (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.426), negative affect (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.029, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.242), and trait anxiety (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.327) decreased from pre- to post-intervention. Improvements in trait anxiety were also observed from pre-intervention to follow-up (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.032). The intervention was generally acceptable to participants, had a 6.48% attrition rate, and had an 80.73 ± 18.96% class attendance. The cost of instructors and equipment totaled US$6636.78, equating to a cost per participant per attended class of US$4.76.</p>

<p><h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Decades of research form an extensive body of knowledge on International Collaboration in Research (IRC). However, experiential perspectives of the operative core (the academics) in research collaboration, remained relatively uninvestigated. Besides, explorations on how academics in peripheral countries accomplish IRC are still very limited. Finally, the representation of social sciences is also limited compared to natural sciences and engineering. The current study aims to explore the factors facilitating and inhibiting IRC from the lived experiences of academics in Iran and Türkiye comparatively. The study was designed as a dual phenomenology, one study in each country. In each of the countries, 20 academics in social sciences participated in the study. The results suggest that similar generic forces motivate the researchers for IRC in Türkiye and Iran at the individual level, parallel to international literature. However, macro-level factors surrounding higher education ecologies including national-level support schemes, geopolitical dynamics, and the country’s foreign policy play an important role in determining the IRC cluster to connect with and the mode of collaboration in these two peripheral countries. The role of macro-level political factors in IRC patterns suggests that although individual researchers intend to attach to the core cluster (USA, UK, Germany, France) of IRC at the global level, macro-level factors push researchers in the periphery for more periphery-periphery collaboration, which may strengthen the growing regionalization in IRC.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Low sexual desire in women partnered with men has been the subject of controversy and research over the past decades, including both as construct and diagnosis. Despite discussion surrounding the causes of low desire, there is a gap in research about how women themselves understand the causes of their low desire and the potential consequences of these causal attributions. In the current study, we investigated this by asking 130 women who had low desire and were partnered with men about their attributions for low desire. Through content analysis, we identified five attribution categories: psychological/individual, relational, biological, sociocultural, and/or sexual orientation/identity/status. Many participants chose more than one category, indicating a multifaceted nature of women’s causes of low desire. We then quantitatively assessed women’s feelings of responsibility for, and emotions surrounding, their low desire. Our findings indicate that the majority—but not all—of women have negative feelings about their low desire. However, the specific emotions they experience are related to their attribution patterns. This underscores the significance of investigating various facets of women’s attributions regarding low desire in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their emotional experiences and desire overall.</p>
