<p><h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Parental reflective functioning is crucial for the development of children’s reflective functioning, with cross-sectional evidence supporting this idea. However, there is a lack of long-term, prospective studies in this area and no previous studies have examined parental reflective functioning and child reflective functioning in the context of adoption. Using a structural equation modeling approach, this study addressed this knowledge gap by examining the associations between 96 Belgian adoptive mothers’ and fathers’ reflective functioning during the transition to adoptive parenthood, their levels of parental reflective functioning during their adopted child’s early childhood, and the children’s reflective functioning in early adolescence (<i>M</i><br>
<sub>age</sub> = 12 years, <i>SD</i> = .58, range = 11–13; 17 boys, 11 girls). Findings showed that parents’ pre-adoptive reflective functioning was positively associated with parental reflective functioning in early childhood. Parental reflective functioning in early childhood, but not pre-adoptive reflective functioning, predicted child reflective functioning in early adolescence. Maternal reflective functioning mediated the association between pre-adoptive reflective functioning and child reflective functioning. Although the small sample size precludes drawing strong conclusions from this study, this study provides new evidence for the intergenerational transmission of reflective functioning even in the context of adoption. Implications for future research are discussed.</p>

<p><h2>ABSTRACT</h2>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Artificial intelligence-supported personalisation is accelerating in mental health services, yet it can reclassify relationship, biography, and judgement as optional.</p>
<h2>Aim/Question</h2>
<p>To explain how “personalisation” drifts into substitution and to specify minimum conditions for safe, workable implementation in mental health nursing.</p>
<h2>Method</h2>
<p>A debate essay using purposive critical synthesis of empirical and conceptual literature to organise three recurring tensions and derive auditable safeguards.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Three tensions recur across current deployments: alliance-like chatbot support can be mistaken for therapeutic presence; automation can narrow clinical reasoning and contribute to deskilling; and trace-based personalisation can override care biography and erode trust through extractive data practices.</p>
<h2>Discussion</h2>
<p>The common failure mechanism is optimisation drift under weak governance, where simulated alliance replaces therapeutic presence, metric authority displaces professional judgement, and proxy traces override care biography.</p>
<h2>Implications for Practice</h2>
<p>Service governance and procurement should treat therapeutic presence, narrative authority, and moral agency protection as non-negotiable clinical outcomes at the point of care.</p>
<h2>Recommendations</h2>
<p>Implement relationally accountable augmentation with explicit red lines, escalation pathways, protected relational time, biography-first documentation, and evaluation that tests accountability and safety under routine conditions.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 11:19</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><h2>ABSTRACT</h2>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>In this Lesson From the Field brief report, we provide practical considerations for how artificial intelligence (AI) can support relationship education (RE) curriculum development.</p>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Currently, there are no best practices for family life education (FLE) professionals that can guide the use of AI to develop RE curriculum. This report responds to a growing need for practitioner-driven insights into AI-assisted e-course creation and provides 10 practical considerations for curriculum developers.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Drawing on applied work at the Utah Marriage Commission, we document our use of AI tools to assist in developing RE e-courses for adult learners. Our team has extensive professional experience creating, teaching, and evaluating FLE. We reflect on our process with AI to suggest practical considerations for developing RE curriculum with AI assistance.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>AI tools streamlined content creation and editing. However, limitations such as bias, lack of contextual nuance, and inconsistent quality underscore the need for human oversight and research-informed guidance.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>AI offers promise for RE curriculum development when its use is intentional, research-informed, and pedagogically sound.</p>
<h2>Implications</h2>
<p>We propose 10 practical considerations and invite FLE professionals to engage in ongoing dialogue about responsible AI integration.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 10:20</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p>This article offers an interdisciplinary analysis of Carol Ann Duffy’s poem ‘The Map-Woman’, examining the metaphor of the female body as a map in relation to artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted medical imaging technologies. The study explores how Duffy’s poetic rendering of the body as a cartographic surface fixed with streets, landmarks and memories resonates with contemporary practices of bodily visualisation in diagnostic medicine. Drawing on feminist theory, spatial poetics and digital epistemologies, this article argues that both poetry and AI imaging engage in acts of mapping the body, although through different epistemic frameworks: one rooted in narrative, memory and affect; the other in data, abstraction and algorithmic logic. While Duffy’s poem foregrounds the emotional and historical dimensions of embodiment, AI-driven imaging systems often reduce the body to quantifiable data, potentially overlooking the sociocultural and subjective aspects of human experience. This contrast highlights the limitations of technological representations and underscores the value of literary metaphor in preserving the complexity of embodied identity. By placing poetic and technological mappings in dialogue, this article advocates for a more holistic understanding of the body, one that integrates narrative, emotion and cultural context alongside technological precision. Ultimately, the article demonstrates how literature can serve as a critical lens through which to interrogate the promises and limitations of AI in reconfiguring our relationship to the body in the digital age.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Objectives</st></sec></p>
<p>This study aims to assess whether single-agent pharmacotherapy directed at the patient-prioritised, highest-scoring PERSONS symptom (target symptom) produces concurrent improvements in both the target symptom and overall symptom burden in advanced-cancer patients.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>Consecutive adults receiving palliative care specialist between April2023 and February2024 were enrolled if ≥1 PERSONS item scored≥7/10. At baseline (T<sub>0</sub>), clinicians identified the target symptom and initiated one guideline-concordant drug for its control. Follow-up (T<sub>1</sub>) occurred after 14 days (median). Outcomes were change in target-symptom severity and change in total PERSONS score. Paired t-tests compared T<sub>0</sub> and T<sub>1</sub>; Pearson’s r examined correlations.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>81 patients (median age 71years; 55.6% female; 81.5% metastatic disease) completed both assessments. Target-symptom severity fell from 7.63±1.02 to 3.78±1.35 (mean reduction 3.85points; 95%CI 3.45 to 4.25; p<0.0001). The total PERSONS score decreased from 21.94±4.56 to 13.46±5.12 (mean reduction8.48points; 95%CI 7.54 to 9.42; p<0.0001). Target-symptom severity correlated moderately with non-target PERSONS score at T<sub>0</sub> (<i>r</i>=0.55) and strongly at T<sub>1</sub> (<i>r</i>=0.65; both p<0.0001). Pain was the predominant target symptom (45.7%).</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>Focusing on a single, evidence-based drug on the patient-defined dominant symptom halved target-symptom intensity and reduced global symptom burden by 39% within 2 weeks. These findings support a pragmatic ‘less-is-more’ paradigm that may minimise polypharmacy while delivering broad symptomatic benefit in advanced cancer.</p>

<p><p><sec><st>Introduction</st></sec></p>
<p>Advance care planning (ACP) is key to effective end-of-life care. If digitalisation of ACP is to be achieved, targeted education addressing the challenges of system-level change with diversity across roles, environments and patient groups is required. Currently, little is known about how to design and deliver this education.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>This report describes a multiorganisation education programme focused on increasing engagement with digital advance care plans (DACP). Education sessions were delivered by clinicians and evaluated by postsession participant feedback questionnaire. The number of DACP views and creations was analysed to evaluate impact.</p>
<p>Purposive sampling methods were used throughout stakeholder engagement, with delivery of 48 organisation-specific education sessions and feedback from 90 healthcare professionals. Supplementary materials were provided, including videos, posters and a monthly newsletter.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>Most respondents reported being very likely or somewhat likely to use the DACP in clinical practice (94%) following the education. The number of DACPs viewed and created increased across all organisations with the largest increase in primary care.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>This clinician delivered and patient-focused approach to delivering multiorganisational education has led to increased system-wide engagement with DACPs. Further research is needed to understand challenges experienced by healthcare professionals to optimise education design and delivery.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 10:19</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Objectives</st></sec></p>
<p>This study examines healthcare professionals’ (HCPs’) experiences of implementing digital advance care plans (DACPs) to support information-sharing and decision-making in end-of-life care (EoLC) across an Integrated Care Board in Southwest England. It provides evidence of HCPs’ perspectives towards the potential of DACPs to enhance the coordination of patient care.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>A descriptive qualitative study was conducted. Purposive sampling recruited HCPs from diverse clinical settings. Four focus groups and one semi-structured interview were conducted between November 2024 and November 2025. Data were analysed inductively using thematic analysis. Reflexive practice was embedded throughout, acknowledging the research team’s clinical and qualitative experience and potential influence on interpretation.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>15 HCPs participated. Three overarching themes were identified: (1) Variations in DACP use—some clinicians acting as creators and others as viewers, shaping perceptions of value and workload. (2) Perceived benefits—improved information-sharing, enhanced decision-making in crises and support for nuanced and patient-centred planning. (3) Challenges—fragmented clinical systems, inconsistent updating, variable understanding of DACP purpose and tensions between detailed content and the need for rapid, actionable information. Participants highlighted that DACPs could guide multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions and contingency planning but were limited by system integration issues and inconsistent use across settings.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>DACPs have considerable potential to enhance EoLC by improving communication, supporting personalised decision-making and supporting crisis response. Realising these benefits requires improved system interoperability, clearer role expectations and consistent updating across settings. Strengthening digital infrastructure and embedding DACPs into routine MDT processes may help them function as dynamic, evolving records supporting high-quality EoLC.</p>

<p><p>This paper examines whether biological age, as distinct from chronological age, could become a new basis for discrimination. Drawing on Räsänen’s proposal that individuals be allowed to change their legal age to mitigate chronological age-based discrimination, it assesses whether this could introduce discrimination based on biological age. The analysis distinguishes chronological from biological age and clarifies differences. Chronological age measures the time elapsed since an entity’s existence, with unidirectional and perfect passage-of-time correlation. Biological age is the attempt to quantify the state of the ageing process—gradual deterioration of body and mind—via biomarkers compared with population averages. It is variable and potentially reversible. For these reasons, biological age currently is not familiar to the public; it lacks stability and institutional recognition and thus does not meet the conditions for discrimination as discussed by prominent theories of discrimination by Lippert-Rasmussen and Behrendt. Therefore, individuals are unlikely to face discrimination on this basis in the same sense as they might based on chronological age. However, if biological age were formally adopted—say, through legal reforms substituting or even replacing chronological age—it could acquire normative significance and potentially serve as a new basis for discrimination. Hence, openly available information about biological age should be limited to mitigate the risk that it could become a basis for discrimination.</p>

<p><p><sec><st>Introduction</st></sec></p>
<p>This study maps and analyses how tobacco companies leverage American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) chapters globally to advance commercial interests and obstruct public health policies.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional document analysis using systematic keyword searches of AmCham and US Chamber websites, publications and social media, supplemented by tobacco industry monitoring platforms and media reports, to identify country-level instances of tobacco-company membership, leadership roles and tobacco-related policy interventions.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>Of 195 countries searched, 103 had AmCham chapters; 80 of these had tobacco-company members, around a quarter had tobacco executives in leadership or advisory roles, and almost 60% had at least one documented activity aligned with tobacco-industry positions. While opposition to tobacco taxation and price measures remained a prominent theme, a substantial and growing share of documented activities involved the promotion of industry-framed ‘harm reduction’ or ‘smoke-free’ narratives, alongside the amplification of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>These actions undermine implementation of the World Helath Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) Article 5.3, which mandates protection of public health policies from tobacco industry interference. This study builds on earlier work by expanding and updating the landscape of AmCham involvement and providing a systematic global mapping that brings together both historical and more recent evidence on AmCham involvement in tobacco-related policy debates, offering governments and advocates an evidence-based foundation to respond to industry influence, using tools like the Global Resource Database and the List of Industry Actors, which is operated by the WHO FCTC Knowledge Hub (KH) and Global Center for Good Governance in Tobacco Control (GGTC), in compliance with the mandate provided by the tobacco control treaty’s governing body, to document and monitor tobacco industry engagement in AmCham networks</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 10:19</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>Tobacco endgame strategies aim to reduce smoking prevalence to minimal levels (<5%) through measures that expand traditional tobacco control approaches. Although some countries have set endgame targets, most still report prevalence rates >15%, and practical guidance on how to assess readiness for endgame implementation remains limited. This study aims to synthetise the key determinants of jurisdictions’ readiness for tobacco endgame and proposes a self-assessment tool to evaluate it.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>A narrative review of peer-reviewed and grey literature published between January 2010 and September 2025 was conducted. Publications were identified through targeted searches of academic databases and relevant organisational websites. A thematic synthesis of evidence on political, social and structural determinants of readiness was undertaken to identify recurring domains, which were later used to inform the development of a self-assessment tool.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>Nine readiness domains were identified: relatively low smoking prevalence; advanced implementation of WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control measures; robust enforcement infrastructure; social denormalisation of smoking; broad public understanding and support for ending tobacco use; a positive political climate and strong political will and leadership; a cohesive tobacco control community and civil society; minimal tobacco industry interference with strong protective mechanisms; and sufficient resources to implement tobacco endgame action plan. These domains guided the development of an evidence-informed self-assessment tool to help jurisdictions evaluate readiness, identify gaps and prioritise strategic actions.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusion</st></sec></p>
<p>The Assessment of Readiness for Tobacco Endgame tool offers an evidence-informed framework to assess tobacco endgame readiness, helping jurisdictions assess capacities, identify gaps and guide strategic decision-making.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 10:19</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Objective</st></sec></p>
<p>The syphilis epidemic in the USA has expanded dramatically into new populations, but the overlap with prison populations is unknown. The objective of this analysis was to describe trends in syphilis diagnosis among people incarcerated and released from a state prison system.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>This was a cohort study of people released from prison in Washington state between 2010 and 2022. Linking prison rosters to Washington surveillance data, we calculated the rate of syphilis diagnosis between 2013 and 2023 when individuals were inside and outside of prison and compared it to the general population of Washington state.</p>
<p><sec><st>Findings</st></sec></p>
<p>The rate of syphilis diagnosis increased substantially both in prison (36 per 100 000 person-years in 2013 to 274 in 2022, rate ratio vs general population 1.3 in 2013 to 2.1 in 2023) and out of prison (8 in 2013 to 887 in 2023, rate ratio vs general population 0.3 in 2013 to 6.4 in 2023) over time.</p>
<p><sec><st>Interpretation</st></sec></p>
<p>From 2013 to 2023, the rate of syphilis diagnosis among those incarcerated in prison in Washington changed from similar to the general population to being significantly greater. Opt-out syphilis testing and treatment in prisons should be included in prison guidelines and accreditation standards.</p>

Findings from a global crowdsourcing exercise with experts</a>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">May 5th 2026, 10:19</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p><p><sec><st>Objectives</st></sec></p>
<p>Many countries recommend 3-monthly chlamydia/gonorrhoea screening for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Evidence about the limited impact of frequent, asymptomatic gonorrhoea/chlamydia screening on population prevalence, coupled with concerns about overburdened health services and antimicrobial resistance (from frequent treatment), calls into question current approaches to asymptomatic screening. We explored sexual health professionals/experts’ arguments in favour/against reducing asymptomatic screening using Polis (www.Pol.is), an online, crowdsourcing tool for understanding what large groups think.</p>
<p><sec><st>Methods</st></sec></p>
<p>Recruited via global peak bodies/networks, 99 individuals in the field of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (43.4 % clinicians, 35.4% researchers) primarily from Australasia (41.4%), UK/Europe (29.3%) and North America (22.2%) participated. Ninety-one statements were submitted in favour/against reduced screening for GBMSM (eg, ‘Bisexual men who don’t test regularly risk putting women at risk’). Participants voted on submitted statements (agree/disagree/pass). Statements with ≥80% agreement were considered as ‘strong’ support, 70%–79% ‘moderate’ and ≤69% ‘mixed’. Statements were grouped using content analysis to assess support for clusters of related statements.</p>
<p><sec><st>Results</st></sec></p>
<p>There was ‘mixed support’ for statements on: (1) the impact of screening in reducing prevalence; (2) whether asymptomatic infections pose clinical harm/necessitate treatment; and (3) risk of antimicrobial resistance. Statements advocating for 6-monthly screening received ‘moderate support’, with arguments centring on resource use. Participants ‘strongly supported’ the need for community engagement and maintaining frequent HIV/syphilis screening.</p>
<p><sec><st>Conclusions</st></sec></p>
<p>While there were mixed opinions about relative utility, risks and harms of reducing chlamydia/gonorrhoea screening for GBMSM, arguments relating to resource constraints may provide common ground for policy changes.</p>
