Tribal Identity, Pain Interference, and Substance Use Among American Indian and Alaska Native Adolescents.

Importance: Substance use is high among American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents. Pain interference is a risk factor for substance use, and identifying potential protective factors, such as Tribal identity, is important to help inform culturally grounded substance use prevention strategies. Objective: To examine the protective potential of Tribal identity as a moderator in the association between pain interference and substance use in American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study of 10th-grade students self-identifying as American Indian/Alaska Native was conducted among students enrolled at 20 high schools on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation. Data for this study were collected from the baseline assessments of a cluster randomized trial to prevent substance use among adolescents living on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation. Inclusion criteria for high schools' participation included being located within counties that partially or fully fall within the Cherokee Nation reservation, a town population of 3000 individuals or fewer, and class sizes between 30 and 100 students. Exclusion criteria included high schools within metropolitan and micropolitan cores (per the US Census Bureau's Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes) and the existence of an established community drug prevention coalition. Student surveys were conducted from September 2021 to May 2024. Exposure: Pain interference in the 7 days prior to baseline assessment. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcomes were past 30-day alcohol use, marijuana use, and prescription opioid misuse. Generalized estimating equations Poisson models were used, with an exchangeable correlation structure clustered on the school level using baseline data from a cluster randomized trial to prevent alcohol and substance use among adolescents. For each substance, a separate multivariable model was fit, which included pain interference, Tribal identity, an interaction term between pain interference and Tribal identity, age, gender, food insecurity, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Results: Among 514 self-identified American Indian/Alaska Native students at 20 high schools on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation, mean (SD) participant age was 15.59 (0.62) years, and 252 participants (49.0%) self-identified as female. Pain interference was associated with alcohol use and prescription opioid misuse in American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents, controlling for age, gender, food insecurity, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Tribal identity significantly moderated the association between pain interference and alcohol use (coefficient, -0.13; 95% CI, -0.23 to -0.02). Conclusions and Relevance: When Tribal identity was high, the adverse association of pain interference with alcohol use was significantly attenuated. This demonstrates a protective role of Tribal identity on alcohol use, which can inform future substance use prevention efforts among American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents.

Perfectionism, self-esteem, and affective symptoms in anorexia nervosa subtypes: A network analysis of French inpatients.

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have highlighted the relevance of perfectionism, self-esteem, and anxio-depressive symptoms in anorexia nervosa (AN). However, the relationships between these factors and cardinal eating disorders (ED) symptoms remain unclear, particularly in AN subtypes. This study aimed to examine their interconnections using network analysis. METHOD: The sample included n = 338 inpatients with AN who completed the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Using network analysis, we estimated three networks: full sample, AN-restrictive (AN-R) and AN-binge/purging (AN-BP) subtypes. We estimated central and bridge symptoms using expected influence and conducted an exploratory network comparison test to compare AN subtypes. RESULTS: Overvaluation of Weight and Shape, Concern over Mistakes, and Personal Standards were consistently central in all networks. The most central bridge symptoms across all networks were Concern over Mistakes and Self-Esteem. Concern over Mistakes bridged perfectionism and ED symptoms, while Self-Esteem was highly connected to all symptom clusters. Anxiety was significantly more central in the AN-R network compared to the AN-BP network. CONCLUSIONS: The present study contributes to a growing body of network studies suggesting that nodes related to perfectionism are just as central as cardinal ED symptoms, indicating the relevance of perfectionism in ED pathology. The high bridge centrality of self-esteem suggests that it may be an important link between perfectionism, mood, and ED symptoms. Future research should investigate the efficacy of targeting multiple psychological factors in the treatment of AN, as well as their potential transdiagnostic relevance.

School Racial Composition as a Moderator of the Effect of Discrimination on Mental Health and Substance use Among American Indian Adolescents.

PURPOSE: To examine the relationships between individual-level perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and mental health and substance use outcomes by school-level racial composition among American Indian (AI) adolescents. METHOD: Self-reported survey data on individual-level variables come from a sample of AI adolescents (n = 510) living in or near the Cherokee Nation during the fall of 2021. School-level data come from publicly available databases. Multilevel linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to test for and examine the interaction between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and school racial composition in relation to symptoms of anxiety and depression, past 30-day use of alcohol and marijuana, and misuse of prescription opioids. RESULTS: Adjusted analyses showed a significant interaction effect between discrimination and racial composition on anxiety symptoms, such that the effect of discrimination was more pronounced at lower % AI (10th percentile) than at more equivalently mixed (50th percentile) or higher % AI (90th percentile) school settings. No significant interactions were observed with depressive symptoms or substance use outcomes. DISCUSSION: School racial compositions of higher percentage AI may buffer the adverse effect of racial/ethnic discrimination on anxiety symptoms among AI adolescents.

Navigating an emotional journey: A qualitative study of the emotional experiences of family carers currently supporting people living with motor neurone disease.

BACKGROUND: Family carers of people living with motor neurone disease (MND) face continuous changes and losses during the progression of the disease, impacting on their emotional wellbeing. Carers' emotions might affect their engagement in everyday activities and their caring role. However, how carers manage their emotions and which strategies they identify as useful to cope with them while caring is under researched. OBJECTIVE: To identify the emotional experiences and coping strategies of MND family carers while caring the person living with MND. METHODS: We conducted 14 semi-structured interviews with family carers currently supporting people living with MND living in the UK. Interviews were audio/video recorded and professionally transcribed verbatim. We analyzed data inductively within an interpretive descriptive approach, using reflexive thematic analysis. RESULTS: Three key themes were generated from the analysis. Destabilization of diagnosis reflected the devastating impact the diagnosis had on carers, characterized by initial overwhelming emotions. Adapting to new circumstances and identifying coping strategies captured how carers experienced everyday changes and losses and how they gradually adjusted to the situation by identifying coping strategies to be able to manage arising emotions. Maintaining emotional coping encompassed how carers used individual strategies they had tried before and had worked for them to cope emotionally with the continuous changes and losses while preserving their emotional wellbeing. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS: Our findings suggest that carers of people living with MND embark on an emotional journey from the diagnosis of the disease. As the disease progresses, carers adopt coping strategies that best work for them to manage their emotions (e.g., living day by day and seeking support). Understanding the key strategies used to support emotional coping during the caring journey and how carers re-construct their emotional life around MND could help inform future practice and research to better support carers of this population.

Description of patients with eating disorders by general practitioners: a cohort study and focus on co-management with depression.

BACKGROUND: International guidelines often state that general practitioners (GPs) provide early management for most patients with eating disorders (EDs). GP management of EDs has not been studied in France. Depressive disorders are often a comorbidity of EDs. The aims of this study were to describe in France the characteristics of people with all subcategories of EDs (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, ED Not Otherwise Specified) managed by their GPs and to study the management temporality between depression and all subcategories of EDs. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of patients with EDs visiting French GPs. Data collected from 1994 through 2009 were extracted from the French society of general electronic health record. A descriptive analysis of the population focused on depression, medication such as antidepressants and anxiolytics, and the management temporality between depression and EDs. RESULTS: 1310 patients aged 8 years or older were seen at least once for an ED by a GP participating in the database out of 355,848 patients, with a prevalence rate of 0.3%. They had a mean age of 35.19 years, 82.67% were women. 41.6% had anorexia nervosa, 26.4% bulimia nervosa, and 32% an ED not otherwise specified. Overall, 32.3% had been managed at least once for depression, and 18.4% had been prescribed an antidepressant of any type at least once. Benzodiazepines had been prescribed at least once for 73.9% of the patients treated for depression. Patients with an ED seen regularly by their GP ("during" profile) received care for depression more frequently than those with other profiles. 60.9% had a single visit with the participating GP for their ED Treatment and management for depression did not precede care for EDs. CONCLUSIONS: Data extracted from the French society of general practice were the only one available in France in primary care about EDs and our study was the only one on this topic. The frequency of visits for EDs was very low in our general practice-based sample. Depressive disorders were a frequent comorbidity of EDs. GPs could manage common early signs of depression and EDs, especially if they improved their communication skills and developed collaborative professional management.

The design of functional proteins using tensorized energy calculations.

In protein design, the energy associated with a huge number of sequence-conformer perturbations has to be routinely estimated. Hence, enhancing the throughput and accuracy of these energy calculations can profoundly improve design success rates and enable tackling more complex design problems. In this work, we explore the possibility of tensorizing the energy calculations and apply them in a protein design framework. We use this framework to design enhanced proteins with anti-cancer and radio-tracing functions. Particularly, we designed multispecific binders against ligands of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), where the tested design could inhibit EGFR activity in vitro and in vivo. We also used this method to design high-affinity Cu2+ binders that were stable in serum and could be readily loaded with copper-64 radionuclide. The resulting molecules show superior functional properties for their respective applications and demonstrate the generalizable potential of the described protein design approach.

Adolescent Advertising Exposure to Cannabis Products in Rural Oklahoma via Medical Dispensaries.

OBJECTIVE: We assess cannabis advertising exposure among adolescents in rural Oklahoma from medical dispensaries. METHOD: Our mixed-methods study identified medical dispensaries within a 15-minute drive time of rural Oklahoma high schools. Study staff completed observational data collection forms and took photographs of each dispensary. Quantitative data from the forms and qualitative coding of photographs were used to describe dispensary characteristics and likely advertising exposure for adolescents. RESULTS: Ninety-two dispensaries were identified across 20 rural communities. The majority presented as retail spaces (n = 71). Product (n = 22) and price promotions (n = 27) were common. Coding of dispensary photographs found that product promotions advertised cannabis use modalities, with cannabis flower being the most common (n = 15), followed by edibles (n = 9) and concentrates (n = 9). Among dispensaries with price promotions, discounts (n = 19) and prices under $10 (n = 14) were common. CONCLUSIONS: Sampled rural medical dispensaries present as retail spaces and are a likely source of adolescent cannabis advertising exposure.

Challenges to delivering evidence-based palliative medicine.

Established as a medical specialty in 1987, palliative medicine approaches middle age facing existential questions of identity, purpose and vision. Time has weakened strong foundations laid by Dame Cicely Saunders in research, education and clinical excellence. Clinical knowledge gaps are wide, and widening. Palliative medicine research is underfunded and underrepresented in discourse. Despite huge advances in modern medicine, there is still clinical uncertainty about simple interventions, such as whether artificial hydration at the end of life is helpful or harmful. Where good quality data do exist, the pace of change is slow, if change is happening at all. Trial design often fails to assess the holistic impact of interventions, using primary endpoints that are inconsistent with outcomes most valued to the patient. Recent years have seen a rapid expansion in innovation and investment in digital technologies, embraced by many in palliative medicine. Experience shows that caution must be applied where the evidence base is sparse. While as a specialty we must remain forward looking and progressive in our mindset, it cannot be assumed that these new interventions alone will provide the solutions to the old problems that exist in palliative medicine.This review summarises the key points presented in the Palliative Medicine section of the RCP Clinical Medicine Conference, 2022.

Chronic conditions, subjective wellbeing and risky sexual behaviour among adolescents and young adults.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between having a chronic condition (CC) and several types of risky sexual behaviour (RSB) among adolescents and young adults. We used data from a multicentre cross-sectional study carried out on 14,431 adolescents from 137 French schools. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between several types of RSB and CCs among the 2680 participants aged 17 years or over who reported sexual intercourse. Survival analysis was conducted to assess the association between CCs and age at first sexual intercourse across the whole sample. Analyses were conducted separately by gender with and without adjustment for the parents' education level, early menarche and subjective wellbeing (relationship with mother and father, depression, perceived health status and liking school). Among boys, having a CC was associated with a higher risk of RSB in both univariate (OR: 1.58 [95% CI: 1.10-2.27]) and multivariate analyses (aOR: 1.62 [95% CI: 1.11-2.38]). Among girls, the association between chronic condition and RSB in univariate analysis was non-significant (OR: 1.30 [95% CI: 0.97-1.76]) and disappeared after adjustment on subjective wellbeing (aOR: 1.08 [95% CI: 0.78-1.49]). There was no association between CC and age at first sexual intercourse.    Conclusion: There were major gender differences. Boys with a CC were more prone to engage in RSB independent of their subjective wellbeing, whereas in girls, subjective wellbeing seemed to mediate the relationship between CC and RSB. Clinicians should be aware of those gender differences in order to deliver preventive strategies regarding sexuality that target both genders. What is Known: • Young people with chronic conditions have a higher likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviour. • Engaging in such behaviours can be much more costly, as it can weaken their underlying state of health. What is New: • We found major gender differences. Boys were more prone to engage in risky behaviour independent of their subjective wellbeing, whereas in girls, it seemed to play an important role. • By understanding how risky sexual behaviour differs according to gender, clinicians can deliver prevention messages that target both genders.

Theory, Measurement, and Psychometric Properties of Risk and Protective Factors for Drug Misuse Among Adolescents Living on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation.

A team of tribe-based behavioral health specialists and university-based researchers partnered to implement a cluster randomized trial for the prevention of drug misuse among adolescents attending public high schools on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation in northeastern Oklahoma. The conceptual framework, which guided intervention and measurement design for the trial, incorporates indigenous knowledge and worldviews with empirically-based frameworks and evidence-based practices. Our goal is to serve multicultural youth, families, and schools and to provide a model of effective strategies for wide dissemination. This paper presents the conceptual model, survey design, and psychometric properties of scales to measure risk and protective factors for substance misuse. The survey includes common measures drawn from the PhenX Toolkit on substance use patterns-adolescent module, measured with standard items from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study and items harmonized across ten NIH-funded research projects with diverse samples of youth. In our trial, brief (20-minute) self-report questionnaires were administered to 10th grade students in fall 2021 (n = 919, 87% response rate) and spring 2022 (n = 929, 89% response rate) in 20 participating high schools on or near the Cherokee Nation Reservation. The sample primarily fell into the following three categories of race/ethnicity identification: only American Indian (AI-only, 29%), AI and another race/ethnicity (AI+, 27%), and only White (35%). Results indicate that risk and protective factor scales were reliably and validly measured with 10 scales and 10 subscales. There were minimal differences between youth who identified as AI only, AI+, and White only, especially for the main scales, which provide confidence in the interpretation of trial outcomes across demographic groups. Study results may not be generalizable to AI/AN youth who live and attend school in more homogenous reservation lands, or alternatively, live in large diverse metropolitan areas.

A multiverse analysis of meta-analyses assessing acupuncture efficacy for smoking cessation evidenced vibration of effects.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of methodological choices on the results of meta-analyses (MAs), with acupuncture for smoking cessation as a case study. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: After performing an umbrella review (using MEDLINE, the COCHRANE Library, the Wan Fang database, and the Chinese Journal Full-text Database/March 2018) of MAs exploring the use of acupuncture for smoking cessation, we extracted all randomized controlled trials. Numerous MAs were performed as per every possible combination of various methodological choices (e.g., characteristics of the intervention and control procedures, outcome, publication status, language) to assess their vibration of effects or more precisely the existence of a Janus effect, that is, whether the 10th and 90th percentiles in the distribution of effect sizes were in opposite directions. RESULTS: After including 7 MAs and 39 randomized controlled trials, we performed 496,528 MAs. The effect size was negative at the 10th percentile (-0.1, favoring controls) and positive at the 90th percentile (1.17, favoring acupuncture). In all, 104,491 MAs showed a statistically significant difference in favor of acupuncture, whereas 392,037 failed to demonstrate the efficacy of acupuncture (including 96 that showed a statistically significant difference in favor of the control). CONCLUSION: The methodological choices made in performing pairwise MAs can result in substantial vibration of effects, occasionally leading to opposite results.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Parental Depression, Antidepressant Usage, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and Stress and Anxiety as Risk Factors for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children.

Poor parental mental health and stress have been associated with children's mental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), through social, genetic, and neurobiological pathways. To determine the strength of the associations between parental mental health and child ADHD, we conducted a set of meta-analyses to examine the association of parent mental health indicators (e.g., parental depression, antidepressant usage, antisocial personality disorder, and stress and anxiety) with subsequent ADHD outcomes in children. Eligible ADHD outcomes included diagnosis or symptoms. Fifty-eight articles published from 1980 to 2019 were included. We calculated pooled effect sizes, accounting for each study's conditional variance, separately for test statistics based on ADHD as a dichotomous (e.g., diagnosis or clinical cutoffs) or continuous measurement (e.g., symptoms of ADHD subtypes of inattentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsivity). Parental stress and parental depression were significantly associated with increased risk for ADHD overall and both symptoms and diagnosis. Specifically, maternal stress and anxiety, maternal prenatal stress, maternal depression, maternal post-partum depression, and paternal depression were positively associated with ADHD. In addition, parental depression was associated with symptoms of ADHD inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive subtypes. Parental antisocial personality disorder was also positively associated with ADHD overall and specifically ADHD diagnosis. Prenatal antidepressant usage was associated with ADHD when measured dichotomously only. These findings raise the possibility that prevention strategies promoting parental mental health and addressing parental stress could have the potential for positive long-term impacts on child health, well-being, and behavioral outcomes.

Perceived Racial/Ethnic Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms among Adolescents Living in the Cherokee Nation.

The objective of this study was to examine the longitudinal relationship between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms among adolescents living in the Cherokee Nation, as well as the potential moderating roles of race and social support. Self-reported survey data were analyzed from a sample of high school students (n = 1,622) who identified as American Indian only, American Indian and White, and White only. Compared to students who reported no discrimination on the basis of race, those who reported ever having experienced discrimination scored, on average, 1.62 units higher on the depressive symptoms scale six months later (p = .0001, 95% CI: 0.90, 2.33), while adjusting for age, race, gender, baseline depressive symptoms, enrollment in a free/reduced-price lunch program, and social support. Discrimination intensity did not significantly predict depressive symptoms among those reporting some frequency of discrimination. Race and social support did not modify either effect. These findings may inform development of interventions to promote mental health among American Indian adolescents.

Cognitive flexibility and attention to detail in adolescents and adults with severe forms of anorexia nervosa.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if adolescents and adults diagnosed with anorexia nervosa differ in their levels of cognitive flexibility and attention to detail independently of potential confounds. METHOD: Sixty-two adolescents and 54 adults were assessed while receiving inpatient treatment and completed the following self-reports: Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire, Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Performance-based evaluations included the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Computerised Version, the Comprehensive Trail Making Test, the Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test, the Rey Complex Figure and the Group Embedded Figures Test. RESULTS: Comparisons of the adolescents and adults with anorexia nervosa revealed no significant differences for any of the neuropsychological test scores even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Neither cognitive flexibility nor attention to detail were associated with level of eating disorder symptomatology, depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. Unlike age, illness duration was found weakly associated with perseverative errors Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and with the central coherence index of the Rey Complex Figure recall condition. CONCLUSIONS: Set-shifting and central coherence performance were independent of age, clinical symptoms severity and emotional status. Additional studies on the relationship between the duration of anorexia nervosa and neuropsychological difficulties are needed.

Study protocol for a cluster randomized trial of a school, family, and community intervention for preventing drug misuse among older adolescents in the Cherokee Nation.

BACKGROUND: The national opioid crisis has disproportionately burdened rural White populations and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. Therefore, Cherokee Nation and Emory University public health scientists have designed an opioid prevention trial to be conducted in rural communities in the Cherokee Nation (northeast Oklahoma) with AI and other (mostly White) adolescents and young adults. Our goal is to implement and evaluate a theory-based, integrated multi-level community intervention designed to prevent the onset and escalation of opioid and other drug misuse. Two distinct intervention approaches-community organizing, as implemented in our established Communities Mobilizing for Change and Action (CMCA) intervention protocol, and universal school-based brief intervention and referral, as implemented in our established Connect intervention protocol-will be integrated with skill-based training for adults to strengthen social support for youth and also with strategic media. Furthermore, we will test systems for sustained implementation within existing organizational structures of the Cherokee Nation and local schools and communities. This study protocol describes the cluster randomized trial, designed to measure implementation and evaluate the effectiveness on primary and secondary outcomes. METHODS: Using a cluster randomized controlled design and constrained randomization, this trial will allocate 20 high schools and surrounding communities to either an intervention or delayed-intervention comparison condition. With a proposed sample of 20 high schools, all enrolled 10th grade students in fall 2021 (ages 15 to 17) will be eligible for participation. During the trial, we will (1) implement interventions through the Cherokee Nation and measure implementation processes and fidelity, (2) measure opioid and other drug use and secondary outcomes every 6 months among a cohort of high school students followed over 3 years through their transition out of high school, (3) test via a cluster randomized trial the effect of the integrated CMCA-Connect intervention, and (4) analyze implementation costs. Primary outcomes include the number of days during the past 30 days of (1) any alcohol use, (2) heavy alcohol use (defined as having at least four, among young women, or five, among young men, standard alcoholic drinks within a couple of hours), (3) any marijuana use, and (4) prescription opioid misuse (defined as "without a doctor's prescription or differently than how a doctor or medical provider told you to use it"). DISCUSSION: This trial will expand upon previous research advancing the scientific evidence regarding prevention of opioid and other drug misuse during the critical developmental period of late adolescent transition to young adulthood among a sample of American Indian and other youth living within the Cherokee Nation reservation.

Evidence base review of couple- and family-based psychosocial interventions to promote infant and early childhood mental health, 2010-2019.

Infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) has been defined as the capacity of infants and young children to regulate their emotions, form secure relationships, and explore their environments. For this special issue, we conducted a review of IECMH outcomes from evaluations of couple- and family-based psychosocial interventions not explicitly designed for trauma exposure published from 2010 through 2019, following Evidence Base Update criteria and the current convention of classifying general categories of intervention approaches rather than the former practice of evaluating specific brand-name packaged programs. Full-text review of 695 articles resulted in 39 articles eligible for categorization into intervention approaches, taking into consideration the theoretical orientation of the treatment, the population served, the intervention participants, the target outcomes, the treatment theory of change, and the degree to which the intervention was standardized across participants. Four intervention approaches were identified in this review as Probably Efficacious: Behavioral Interventions to Support Parents of Toddlers, Interventions to Support Adolescent Mothers, Tiered Interventions to Provide Support Based on Assessed Risk, and Home Visiting Interventions to Provide Individualized Support to Parents. Other intervention approaches were classified as Possibly Efficacious, Experimental, or did not have sufficient evidence in this time period to classify under these criteria. Further research could explore how to ensure that all families who need support can receive it, such as by increasing the reach of effective programs and by decreasing the number of families needing additional support.
