Evaluation of tomato farmworker upper limb ergonomic risk factors.

Research on musculoskeletal disorders among tomato farmworkers is limited. This pilot study aims to generate insights and preliminary data on tasks performed by tomato farmworkers at a demonstration test plot, evaluating associated ergonomic risk factors. A demonstration test plot was constructed to simulate tasks performed by tomato farmworkers.

Characterizing Typologies of Polytraumatization: A Replication and Extension Study Examining Internalizing and Externalizing Psychopathology in an Urban Population.

A person-centered approach to examining trauma has uncovered typologies of polytraumatization that are differentially associated with psychopathology. However, previous research is limited by narrow conceptualizations of trauma, limited distal outcomes, and underrepresentation of minorities. To address these gaps, we used latent profile analyses to uncover distinct polytraumatization typologies and examine four symptom-based (PTSD, depression, aggression, and substance abuse) and two behavior-based (self-harm, jail counts) outcomes in a sample of low-income adults ( = 7,426, 94% African American).

Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy via Telebehavioral Health for Those With Psychotic Spectrum Disorders: A Case Series.

Telebehavioral health emerged as an important practice during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as an opportunity for continued evidence-based mental health intervention, while minimizing exposure to coronavirus contagion. Though preliminary research suggests feasibility and positive outcomes of telebehavioral health practice for people with schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders, there is limited research about implementation and effectiveness of this practice (Kasckow et al., 2014).
