<p>911 calls are often the catalyst for initiating a medical or law enforcement response to critically injured or deceased persons and may contain important details to assist first responders in quickly prioritizing resources. Callers providing deceptive information may impede these efforts. The current study examined the efficacy of the Considering Offender Probability in Statements (COPS) Scale in judging whether a 911 caller was or was not involved in the death or serious physical injury of the individual whom they were reporting. Specifically, the current study examined whether sworn law enforcement officers using the COPS Scale could correctly distinguish 911 callers who did not cause the person’s death from 911 callers who did cause the person’s death. Agreement among participants on the presence of COPS Scale indicators in calls was generally poor. All guilty and innocent indicators were predictive of participant judgments of callers’ guilt or innocence. However, most indicators were not predictive of guilty or innocent calls, and several were more common in the opposite type of call. The innocence or guilt of 911 callers was mischaracterized in approximately four out of every 10 calls and also influenced questions the law enforcement officers would ask of the caller. Our findings do not support the use of the COPS Scale as a measure of innocence or guilt among 911 callers and suggest its use could detrimentally influence investigative strategies.

<p>Personal stigma towards late-life depression, a barrier to help-seeking for older adults, may be reduced by improved depression literacy. This study adopted a pre-and-post-test design to investigate the relationships between types of depression literacy and stigma reduction. We recruited 976 older adults aged greater than or equal to fifty for a mental wellness education programme. The results of paired <span>t</span>-tests showed that the education programme improved participants’ depression literacy and reduced personal stigma. Their knowledge about symptoms (<span>t</span> = 9.10, <span>P</span> < .01) and facts (<span>t</span> = 3.05, <span>P</span> < .01) of depression were improved, while the myths of depression (<span>t</span> = −6.05, <span>P</span> < .01), stereotypes (<span>t</span> = −9.47, <span>P</span> < .01), prejudice (<span>t</span> = −6.66, <span>P</span> < .01), and discrimination (<span>t</span> = −5.60, <span>P</span> < .01) to late-life depression were reduced. We explored the change mechanism between depression literacy and personal stigma by multivariate regression analyses using residual scores. The significant association between depression literacy and personal stigma at baseline was not surprising. After the intervention, we found that enhanced knowledge about symptoms predicted decreased stereotypes (<span>β</span> = −0.13, <span>P</span> < .01). The decreased myths about depression contributed to the reduced stereotype significantly (<span>β </span>= 0.18, <span>P</span> < .01). Knowing more facts predicted increased prejudice (<span>β </span>= 0.08, <span>P</span> < .05). Future prevention and intervention for depression stigma may focus on knowing more about symptoms, interpreting facts cautiously, and debunking myths about depression.</p>

<p>Previous meta-analyses have examined gender differences in people’s attitudes toward lesbian/gay sexualities, finding that, overall, men hold more homonegative attitudes than women. Bisexuality scholars have suggested a similar gender difference in attitudes toward bisexuality. This study is the first meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive quantitative synthesis of gender differences in attitudes toward bisexual people and bisexuality. We synthesized findings from 61 studies (including 10 unpublished papers) from 1999 to 2022 that reported on 77 samples of 32,010 participants (14,359 men and 17,651 women). Overall, men held more binegative attitudes than women, <em>g</em> = 0.19, 95% CI [0.14, 0.25]. This effect was moderated by target gender: men were more binegative than women when considering male bisexuality, <em>g</em> = 0.27 [0.20, 0.35]; the effect was substantially smaller when considering female bisexuality, <em>g</em> = 0.10 [0.03, 0.16]. In addition, heterosexual men were more binegative than heterosexual women, <em>g</em> = 0.26 [0.19, 0.33], while gay men’s and lesbian women’s attitudes toward bisexuality were similar, <em>g</em> = 0.04 [−0.09, 0.16]. Overall, these meta-analytic findings indicate that men, particularly heterosexual men, hold more binegative attitudes than women, especially toward male bisexuality. Given the pervasiveness of binegativity, interventions are needed to improve attitudes toward bisexuality, particularly men’s attitudes toward bisexuality.

<p>Objective: To understand the influence of acute alcohol consumption on the recall and recognition of warning messages. Method: Participants (<em>n</em> = 82) were randomly assigned to a condition where they consumed alcoholic beverages (target blood alcohol concentrations of 0.06%–0.08%) or a condition where they consumed juice. Participants in both conditions then gambled on preprogrammed slot machines in a casino-themed room with four pop-up warning messages appearing twice each. After the gambling session, participants in both conditions completed a filler task followed by free recall and recognition assessments. Results: Most participants (81%) recalled the gist, or the general idea, of the warning messages. However, participants in the alcohol condition underestimated the total number of messages they viewed to a significantly greater extent than those in the juice condition. Participants in the alcohol condition were also significantly less accurate in recognizing messages than participants in the juice condition. Participants in the juice condition were significantly more likely to recall the self-appraisal message than participants in the alcohol condition. There were no other significant differences in the recall of specific messages between conditions. Conclusions: Individuals who are moderately intoxicated are just as likely as nonintoxicated individuals to understand the general idea of warning messages but may have greater difficulty recalling specific details within those messages. Those who are intoxicated may have difficulties engaging in self-appraisal, indicating that messages that are focused on the financial consequences of gambling may be more impactful.

<p>Objective: Research among young adults (YA), in samples of majority White college students, indicates links between posting about alcohol on social media and self-reported drinking behavior. We sought to extend this work by examining unique associations between public versus private posting about alcohol and the high-risk outcome of alcohol-related blackouts among a sample of racially/ethnically diverse YA not in 4-year college. Method: A sample of 499 participants (ages 18–29; 52.5% female; 37.5% Black/African American, 26.9% White, 25.3% Hispanic/Latinx) completed an online survey about social media use and drinking behavior. Results: Across three platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter [now known as “X”]), public posting on Instagram was most common. Adjusting for covariates, a higher frequency of private posting about alcohol was associated with a higher frequency of past-month blackouts. Tests of simple effects of posting on blackouts within racial/ethnic subgroups indicated that private posting about alcohol was significantly associated with past-month blackouts only among those who most strongly identified as Black/African American or White but not among those who most strongly identified as Hispanic/Latinx. Further, public posting was significantly associated with past-month blackouts, though the association was specific to White participants. Conclusions: Whether posting about alcohol may be useful in identifying risky drinking behavior may depend on racial/ethnic identification as well as whether private or public posting is being considered. Results have implications for eventual online interventions, which can identify individuals potentially at risk for hazardous drinking based on their social media posting behavior.

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">Apr 29th 2025, 09:42</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Background</st></sec></p>
<p>Ambulatory palliative care clinics are associated with improved outcomes in cancer patients, including short-term quality of life. However, their impact on individual patient-reported symptoms is not well understood.</p>
<p><sec><st>Aim</st></sec></p>
<p>We evaluated the impact of ambulatory palliative care on individual symptoms in adult cancer patients.</p>
<p><sec><st>Design</st></sec></p>
<p>Following a standard protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42022321909), investigators independently identified randomised and non-randomised intervention studies that assessed patient-reported symptom scores using validated symptom assessment scales longitudinally. Data were synthesised using random-effects meta-analyses.</p>
<p><sec><st>Data sources</st></sec></p>
<p>Database of PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Cochrane Central was searched from inception to September 2023 for eligible studies.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>20 studies encompassing 4 prospective cohort studies, 1 randomised control trial and 15 retrospective studies were included. Most studies focused on cohorts with advanced cancers of mixed primary tumour type, were colocated within or linked to a tertiary cancer centre and assessed symptoms using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS). The meta-analyses confirmed evidence for improvement in pain (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.31, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.44), anxiety (SMD 0.31, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.49), fatigue (SMD 0.31, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.51), insomnia (SMD 0.29, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.42), depression (SMD 0.25, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.40), drowsiness (SMD 0.23, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.34), well-being (SMD 0.28, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.45) and overall symptom burden (SMD 0.29, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.36). There was no evidence for improvement in nausea (SMD 0.19, 95% CI –0.02 to 0.40), dyspnoea (SMD 0.16, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.29) and appetite scores (SMD 0.14, 95% CI –0.00 to 0.29).</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>Ambulatory palliative care had positive effects on multiple common symptoms. The strength of this evidence however is low, largely due to the considerable heterogeneity among included studies. Further research could determine thresholds on symptom assessment scales to guide urgency of referral, timing of follow-up and optimal multidisciplinary staff involvement.</p>

<p>Social care practitioners are often under-represented in research activity and output. This article presents findings from a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded realist evaluation to understand and explain how, why, for whom, and in what contexts mental health social care practitioners engage with research. The study uses a current NIHR-funded study—REalist Synthesis Of non-pharmacologicaL interVEntions for antipsychotic-induced weight gain (RESOLVE)—as an illustrative example. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with eighteen social care practitioners (SCPs) and data were analysed using a realist logic of analysis. Our refined programme theory describes SCPs’ current knowledge and interests in research, influenced by healthcare culture; their relationships with other healthcare professionals; protected time opportunities; and tailored invitations to hear their perspectives on healthcare needs of their clients. Underpinning the programme theory are seven context-mechanism-outcome configurations that propose evidence-informed contextually-sensitive causal explanations (i.e. mechanisms) that either facilitate or impede practitioners’ engagement with research. These findings highlight the need to provide tailored support to SCPs and build collaborative relationships with academics and other research-active health professionals. Better understanding of research engagement by SCPs will allow for evidence-based practice and better patient outcomes within these settings.</p>

<p>Sexual minority individuals face elevated risk for internalizing problems due to minority stress, and internalizing problems may have been exacerbated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined sexual orientation- and race/ethnicity-related mental health disparities during the first 4 months of COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. We investigated disparities in COVID-19-related trauma (CRT) and internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety) in a university community sample via surveys in March–April (Wave 1) and May–June 2020 (Wave 2) cross-sectionally using t-tests and longitudinally using residualized change score regressions. The analytic sample (<em>N</em> = 646,<em> M</em><sub>age</sub> = 25.70, <em>SD</em><sub>age</sub> = 10.16 at Wave 1) comprised 350 (54.2%) non-Hispanic White and 296 (45.8%) racial/ethnic minority participants, and 514 (79.6%) heterosexual and 132 (20.4%) sexual minority participants. Except for Wave 1 CRT, sexual minority individuals reported greater symptomatology than heterosexual individuals across all outcomes at each wave and racial/ethnic minority individuals reported no differences in outcomes compared to non-Hispanic White individuals. Longitudinally, sexual minority individuals reported less recovery from CRT compared to heterosexual individuals. No similar longitudinal disparities were identified across race/ethnicity. These findings build upon a growing body of literature of mental health disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results highlight the importance of examining CRT to understand the effects of the pandemic on minoritized populations, particularly sexual minority individuals. Further work is needed to elucidate the potential exacerbating effects of minority stress on these disparities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)</p>

<p><p>This past week, the University of Florida was on the brink of hiring a new dean of its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Then officials suddenly called off the search under pressure from Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration, which alleged that the candidates were not in alignment with the state’s policies opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">Apr 29th 2025, 06:39</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Background</st></sec></p>
<p>In 2023, the UK government proposed a Bill introducing a generational ban on the sale of tobacco products and measures targeting youth nicotine product (NP) use. Industries’ responses remain unexplored.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>We analysed 43 consultation and evidence submissions from tobacco and nicotine industry-linked actors, assessing their connections to transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) and using an evidence-based taxonomy to examine framing strategies.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>TTCs and actors with known current TTC links accounted for 42% of submissions. Other actors—some with historic TTC ties—were other tobacco products (OTPs) specialists, NP specialists and retailers. Tobacco and nicotine industries were generally portrayed as ‘good’ with TTCs framing themselves as public health champions, while policymakers, the public health community and non-compliant sellers were depicted as ‘bad’ actors. TTCs, linked groups and additional OTP actors opposed the generational ban, arguing it lacked evidence and would harm the economy and increase violence against retailers. Proposed alternative approaches included exempting heated tobacco products (HTPs) and OTPs, and raising the age of sale to 21. TTCs, linked actors and NP actors opposed restrictions on NP flavours, packaging and display, arguing these would infringe on rights, harm retailers, stifle innovation, and increase smoking and illicit trade. They framed youth NP use as resulting from irresponsible individuals and advocated for education, stricter penalties and self-regulation.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusion</st></sec></p>
<p>When faced with tobacco endgame and nicotine control policies in the UK, tobacco and nicotine industries pushed back using framing strategies common to health-harming industries. Despite contradicting their ‘transformation’ narratives, TTCs still sought to position themselves as public health actors deserving policy access. Advocates, researchers and policymakers can anticipate opposition to endgame policies—such as a generational sales ban—and NP restrictions, proactively preparing to counter this opposition in order to safeguard public health policy from vested interests.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">Apr 29th 2025, 05:38</div>

<p><p><sec><st>Objectives</st></sec></p>
<p>We investigated changes in the profile of persons who smoke (PWS) seeking assistance from smoking cessation services (SCS) in France between 2004 and 2018, aligning with national policies.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>A prospective study of 131 280 adult PWS was conducted across three periods: 2004–2008 (during a 42% increase in tobacco prices), 2009–2013 (following a tobacco sales ban to minors) and 2014–2018 (marking the first national antismoking policy). Sociodemographic and medical characteristics, smoking behaviours and prescribed cessation medications were analysed cross-sectionally at the first consultation.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>Between 2004–2008 and 2014–2018, the mean age of SCS attendees increased from 44 to 47 years (p<0.001). Concurrently, the proportion of PWS without a school diploma rose from 19% to 22%, and unemployed PWS from 13% to 22% (both p<0.001). Smoking-related cancer prevalence doubled from 3% to 6% (p<0.001). The proportion of PWS with no prior quit attempts increased from 31% in 2004–2008 to 35% in 2014–2018 (p<0.001). There was also a notable decline in those attending SCS on a personal initiative, dropping from 45% to 35% (p<0.001). Mean number of cigarettes smoked daily was stable at 23 between 2004 and 2018. Combination nicotine replacement therapy remained the most prescribed cessation medication, accounting for 44% of treatments during this period.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>Despite tobacco control efforts between 2004 and 2018, challenges persist in reducing smoking behaviours in France. Increased SCS utilisation among older adults and individuals with lower socioeconomic status underscores the importance of enhancing SCS availability in France to support the various profiles of PWS.</p>
